Wild Paths Festival returns to Norwich from 14–18 October 2025, bringing with it a genre-blurring lineup and a citywide celebration of music, art, and community. Already stacked with talent like Lime Garden, BINA., Daudi Matsiko, and Home Counties, the festival just got even wilder with the addition of over 70 new artists.

New acts include blog-buzz favourites like Nix Northwest, Astral Bakers, and Picture Parlour, alongside exciting local and emerging talent such as Catbandcat, Gabby Rivers, Ale Thieves, and Dog at the Opera. From soulful sets by Jgrrey and Sol Paradise to high-energy performances by Gallus and The Reverse Cowboys, the 2025 edition continues to showcase cutting-edge sounds from across the UK and beyond.

Attendees can explore Norwich’s most unique spaces with a single wristband, including a skatepark inside a church, a basement pizza joint, micro-breweries, secret cocktail dens, and more. Standout nights include late-night jazz jams at St Laurence, with Voodoos Jazz Club on Friday and London-based Peng Femme Jam hosting Saturday’s all-female and non-binary improv night.

With its one-of-a-kind venues, immersive atmosphere, and sprawling multi-genre lineup, Wild Paths 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most distinctive music festivals in the UK.
