The Long Road Festival will make its triumphant return to Stanford Hall, Leicestershire, UK across August 22-24 of 2025, with another stellar line-up confirmed for the event.

Midland and Drake Milligan will serve as the 2025 headliners, as well as James Bay, with the Rhinestone main-stage being utilised on the Friday for the first time in the festival's history. Milligan will headline the opening night with his trademark energising, live-wire set.

In an official statement, Midland's frontman, Mark Wystrach, has underlined how excited the band are to be headlining The Long Road, “Getting to play our first [UK] outdoor festival in a beautiful setting, and getting to be headliners is gonna be amazing”.

Joining them on the impressive bill is ‘Where I Find God’ hitmaker, Larry Fleet, along with country-folk prodigy, Charles Wesley Godwin, who will be treating the packed-out audience to galvanising takes on fan-favourites such a ‘Family Ties’ and ‘Jesse’.

Also set to perform is Seasick Steve, Alana Springsteen, Evan Honer, Gareth, Fantastic Negrito, Elles Bailey, Ashley Monroe, Chuck Ragan, Fancy Hagood, Trousdale, Fanny Lumsden, Halle Kearns, Kim Churchill, Rainbow Girls, Will Varley & The Southern Rust, Simeon Hammond Dallas, Steady Habits, Janet Devlin and Jaywalkers.

In addition, 2025 sees the return of Rissi Palmer's much-loved Color Me Country medley, along with new stage takeovers from labels such as Loose Music and Snakefarm Records.

As well as featuring Friday main-stage sets for the first time ever, The Long Road Festival will see the inclusion of a new sixth stage, with details due to be revealed in the coming weeks.

The fun activities and culinary delights that The Long Road Festival attendees have come to know and love will again be on offer at the 2025 instalment, with the country extravaganza hosting a plethora of US-inspired street-food and BBQ and craft beers, as well as dedicated line-dancing sessions, campfires, vintage funfair rides, a kids camp, Country-oke, the Lucky Dice Classic Car & Bike show and more.
