After a successful first year, DOCKSFEST will be returning to Cleethorpes Meridian Showground next summer with another star studded lined-up.

This year saw indie legends Razorlight top the bill, as the band performed across numerous festivals across the country, whilst the likes of Frank Turner, Lottery Winners, Feeder and Afflecks Palace featured throughout the day.

The organisers have now revealed the first names set to perform at the second edition of DOCKSFEST in 2025, with the headliner still to be announced.

Northern Ireland band ASH are set to bring a range of their hits include ‘Girl From Mars’ and ‘Burn Baby Burn’, with the band continuing to release material, their latest coming in the form of 2023’s ‘Race the Night’. The band burst on to the scene during the Britpop era with their debut #1 record ‘1977’, and they went on to achieve the same feat with their third record 5 years later.

Indie icons MAXIMO PARK will also be appearing at the festival, after a busy 2024 schedule which saw the band release their eighth studio album ‘Stream of Life‘. They hold four UK top 10 albums to their name, and can always guarantee a very energetic performance with every show.

Manchester rising stars CORELLA look to continue their busy schedule as they head in to 2025. This year saw the band release their debut album ‘Once Upon A Weekend‘, a hectic festival season and a range of sold out headline shows up and down the country. Frontman and guitarist Joel Smith hails from Immingham, less than 12 miles from the festival site and is an avid Grimsby Town supporter.

In a press release, festival founder Will Douglas said “Building on the incredible energy of this year’s festival, we’re thrilled to bring DocksFest back in 2025 for its second edition. DocksFest 24 was so well supported. People came from all over the UK to enjoy the amazing atmosphere and outstanding live music performances. It showed beyond doubt that North East Lincolnshire deserves its own major live music festival. We’re doubling down with an artist line up for 2025 which will make next year an unforgettable destination event.”

Isle of Wight band COACH PARTY, local band EVER and openers LAST OF THE WONDER KIDS complete the first names for the 2025 line-up, with more names to be revealed soon.
