On the Beach Festival 2025: Bloc Party and Kaiser Chiefs Set to Headline
Having debuted in 2021 on Brighton’s seafront, On The Beach is now entering its fifth year on the south coast. With a stellar lineup that has included sold-out shows from Fatboy Slim, Chase & Status, Above & Beyond, Bicep, Underworld, Carl Cox, Royal Blood, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, The Libertines, and The Kooks, On The Beach has quickly established itself as a major player in the UK’s festival scene.
2025 marks the third consecutive year that Radio X has partnered with On The Beach. Last year, memorable headline shows from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Royal Blood thrilled fans, while performances from You Me At Six, The Vaccines, The Coral, and others added to the excitement. In 2023, The Kooks and The Libertines headlined the Saturday and Sunday of the weekend respectively, with Kate Nash and The Futureheads also gracing the stage.
Now, On The Beach 2025 is set to bring another incredible lineup to Brighton Beach, with Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party leading the way.
Kaiser Chiefs will headline the final weekend on Sunday, July 27, bringing their legendary anthems to the iconic Brighton Beach. The band, formed in Leeds in 2000, will perform their Employment album in full, alongside their greatest hits such as Ruby, I Predict A Riot, and Oh My God. Known for their high-energy performances, Kaiser Chiefs have sold over 8 million albums worldwide and earned 3 Brit Awards. Their set will mark an epic conclusion to the festival’s final weekend.
Meanwhile, Bloc Party will take the stage on Sunday, July 20 to close the first weekend of the festival. With a career spanning nearly 20 years, Bloc Party’s mix of post-punk, electronic, and experimental sounds has shaped the British indie rock scene. Their performances remain as fresh and energetic as ever, with their latest album Alpha Games further cementing their place as one of the most innovative bands in the genre.
With more acts still to be announced, On The Beach 2025 is shaping up to be another unforgettable year. Get ready for two weekends of incredible live music, stunning beach views, and unmissable performances in Brighton!
