CloseUp Festival 2025

CloseUp Festival is the shining star in the CloseUp calendar, back in 2025 for an exceptionally highly anticipated 10-year anniversary. An iconic event, it comes to put in one place a celebration of the best of rising indie and electronic talent from the UK and beyond, set in one of London's most renowned venues: Colours in North London. It will render the space into a two-stage spectacle of eclectic new music and electric atmosphere that has become so synonymous with CloseUp for three whole days.

In conjunction with Signature Brew, who will be providing the drinks, CloseUp Festival has grown to become an unmissable event for music lovers. Coverage has come from the likes of Dork, DIY, Soho Radio, Gigwise, The Metro (Print), and many more, making this one of London's key festivals in its music scene.

Over the years, CloseUp has invited an incredible roster of acts such as Orchards, Swim Deep, The Magic Gang, APRE, Kwassa, Childcare, EKKAH, Jerry Williams, joan, FOURS, and many more onto the stage to support rising stars. Its 10th-anniversary lineup in 2025 is also going to be one to get hearts racing. The event will take place from 22nd to 24th May 2025, when CloseUp takes over Colours Hoxton for three days of unforgettable performances.

These names join Welsh pop sensation CATTY, Dublin indie-pop trailblazers milk., and Kent's indie-rock soundscapes from Indoor Pets, already announced for this milestone 2025 edition, with plenty more to be added in the coming months. These have been coming for the same high-energy indie jamboree that has made CloseUp Festival one of the high spots of the capital's music scene.

As CloseUp Festival celebrates its first decade championing new talent, this edition will indeed be the most extensive and best so far. Early tickets go live and are accessible here. As the head honcho gears for 22nd-24th May 2025, all roads point towards an unforgettable celebration of indie-electronic music's greatest and emerging soundwaves.
