We Out Here Festival has unveiled its highly anticipated second wave of artists for its 2025 edition, taking place from August 14-17 in Wimborne St Giles, Dorset, UK. True to its reputation for celebrating diverse musical landscapes, the festival continues to push boundaries with an eclectic mix of legendary pioneers, global icons, and rising talents.

Leading the latest announcement is the exclusive Rotary Connection 222, a 30-piece orchestral tribute to composer and producer Charles Stepney, renowned for his work with Earth, Wind & Fire, Minnie Riperton, and Marlena Shaw. This one-of-a-kind performance, curated by The Stepney Sisters and International Anthem, will be the only show worldwide since its Chicago debut. Joining the bill are boundary-breaking artists like Noname, Carl Craig, Jalen Ngonda, Horace Andy, Hermeto Pascoal, and Leroy Burgess, along with dancefloor innovators such as Ben UFO, Theo Parrish (with an extended 8-hour set), Photek, and Francois K.

These acts will join an already stacked lineup featuring Michael Kiwanuka, Pa Salieu, Kokoroko, Joe Bataan, and MJ Cole (presents Sincere). With more names still to come, We Out Here 2025 promises an unparalleled celebration of musical discovery. Tickets are on sale now!
