Henley Festival 2025 reveals unmissable line-up including Diana Ross, McFly and Rick Astley

Henley Festival presented by Westcoast is thrilled to reveal a glittering line-up of artists for 2025, appearing across five magical summer nights from the 9th until the 13th of July. Henley Festival will once again deliver a programme full of world-class talent across music, comedy and more, with headliners including Diana Ross, McFly, Rick Astley, Jamie Cullum and Hacienda Classical.

Westcoast, a Berkshire-based technology company distributing some of the world's leading tech brands, are thrilled to continue its long association with Henley Festival in 2025 and to support RISE, Henley Festival's charitable programme.

The UK's only black-tie music and arts festival, it is truly an experience like no other: a world-class music programme of pop, world, classical, folk and jazz set alongside stellar comedy and cabaret, stunning art galleries and sculpture installations, roving performers, as well as dining, drinks, dancing and simply jaw-dropping fireworks.

Henley Festival is more than an unmissable event: it is a charity with a mission to support the next generation of talent through its RISE programme. As part of the Festival's incredible line-up, the RISE stage provides a unique platform for emerging musicians and visual artists, as well offering opportunities for young people aspiring to work behind the scenes.

Jo Baausor, CEO of Henley Festival says, "It's an honour to be continuing our RISE programme into yet another year, supporting young and emerging artists by offering paid opportunities to perform, exhibit or complete work placements. It's at the core of everything we do as a festival and there is no greater privilege than helping these incredible young artists and students kickstart their careers in roles across the cultural spectrum."

Henley Festival is also thrilled to present the second-ever Westcoast RISING Star Award – celebrating outstanding achievement and great potential – to Manchester-based singer, and songwriter Hetta Falzon. Known for channelling honesty and vulnerability into her songwriting and music, Hetta draws on jazz, pop and classical influences to inspire a unique melodic style, driven by a desire to move people.

Hetta says: "I feel so honoured to have won this award and so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful event and community with RISE. I am so excited to share the stage with so much other talent and feel so lucky to be a small part of something so great!"
