Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson and Dierks Bentley Unveiled as C2C Festival 2025 Headliners

It's finally here! After months of speculation, excitement and anticipation, the official C2C Festival 2025 line-up has now been unveiled - and it's safe to say it was well worth the wait.

The 2025 headliners are Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson and Dierks Bentley, with this blockbuster triumvirate joined on the impressive roster of performers by Dylan Gossett, 49 Winchester, Tucker Wetmore, Wyatt Flores, Tyler Hubbard, Niko Moon, Chayce Beckham, Tanner Adell, Nate Smith, Shaboozey, Avery Anna and The Castellows.

This marks Lainey Wilson's second appearance at the festival, which will again take place at London's O2 Arena, Glasgow's OVO Hydro and Belfast's SSE Arena on March 14th - 16th.

Lainey Wilson previously took the stage at the 2023 instalment of C2C Festival. Given how significantly the Louisiana hitmaker's status has soared in subsequent years, with Lainey the reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year, it's no surprise that the ‘Heart Like a Truck’ singer-songwriter returns as a first-time headliner.

Another country chart-topper, Cody Johnson, will not only be making his C2C Festival debut, but his UK live debut, with the man amiably known as ‘CoJo’ having never performed this side of The Pond before. It's been a long time coming, but we've been hearing the plaudits and renown for Cody's live show echoing across the Atlantic for a number of years now, and he'll be welcomed to C2C with open arms.

Completing the trio of headliners is Arizona country veteran, Dierks Bentley, who's been gracing our airwaves and playlists for the best part of two decades. Dierks first performed at C2C Festival back in 2014, and remains a popular figure among UK crowds.

In addition, attendees will be keenly looking forward to the chance to hear genre-blending star, Shaboozey, performing his viral hit, ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’, for the first time in the UK.

Alongside Shaboozey, Tyler Hubbard will be making his solo UK debut, having made the trip previously as part of Florida Georgia Line. Niko Moon - the artist behind the 2021 feel-good anthem, ‘Good Time’ - will be delivering his first ever UK performance at C2C Festival 2025, as will ‘Wind Up Missin’ You’ prodigy, Tucker Wetmore.

Fans will be delighted to see Avery Anna and Tanner Adell making a triumphant return to the C2C Festival stage, with Anna hopefully due to perform her powerful new single, ‘Vanilla’.

With other heavy-hitters such as Nate Smith and Dylan Gossett scheduled to play at C2C Festival 2025 too, it's hard to believe there are more artists still to be added to the bill.
