Big changes are afoot for We Out Here Festival as it gears up for its fifth edition in Wimborne St Giles, Dorset, from 14th to 17th August 2025. Organisers have now confirmed the full and final line-up, alongside a major expansion to the festival’s talks and workshop series.

New additions bring a serious injection of talent, with Sully, Tim Reaper, DJ Flight, Suze Ijó, Objekt, Astrid Sonne, Fabio & Grooverider, Horse Meat Disco, and k means all locked in. In a last-minute switch-up, Loyle Carner will headline Sunday, stepping in for Michael Kiwanuka, who has withdrawn due to illness.

Alongside the music, 2025 will see the debut of The Knowledge - a fully-fledged talks and workshop programme designed to feed minds as well as ears. Expect hi-fi listening sessions with Mia Koden, Don Letts, and BBE Records, a creative Q&A hosted by Pointblank Music School with Pinch and Om Unit, and a production deep-dive into Photek’s Mine to Give. Budding DJs can also get hands-on with sessions like “A Beginner’s Guide to DJing,” “Creative DJ Techniques,” and “Anyone Can Scratch to Any Genre.”

With a bolstered line-up and a fresh focus on knowledge-sharing, We Out Here 2025 is shaping up to be its most well-rounded and unmissable edition yet. Get your tickets below:
