One of our favorite indiepop labels, Skep Wax, run by Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey of Heavenly – has unveiled the full line-up for its London Weekender, set to take place 17-20 July 2025 at The Islington Assembly Hall and The Lexington.
The four-day event will bring together 12 bands, showcasing some of the finest in indiepop, DIY, and underground pop music. The highlight? Heavenly will play their only UK show of 2025 on Saturday 19 July, where they’ll also launch their first new single since 1995.
The festival will feature two of the most exciting new American indiepop bands – Jeanines and Lightheaded, both of whom will have new albums out in time for the event. The full line-up also includes The Orchids, Swansea Sound, Panic Pocket, Sassyhiya, Would-Be-Goods, Crumbs, and more, promising a weekend packed with sharp songwriting, shimmering melodies, and radical pop energy.
Tickets, including weekend passes, individual day tickets, and a special Heavenly-only ticket, are on sale now. Pick them up here
