East London Block Party Returns for 2025 with First Wave Line-up

This year, Still Listening Magazine is proud to be a stage partner, curating a lineup that reflects the bold, genre-fluid spirit of the artists we champion.

After two consecutive sold-out editions, East London Block Party returns for its biggest year yet on Saturday 26th July 2025, taking over four of Shoreditch’s most iconic grassroots venues: Colours, The Old Blue Last, Strongroom and Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes.

This year, Still Listening Magazine is proud to be a stage partner, curating a lineup that reflects the bold, genre-fluid spirit of the artists we champion. It’s a full-circle moment for us, helping to shape a festival rooted in the discovery and celebration of new music.

The first wave of acts includes “wonk-rock” supergroup Y (featuring members of Fat White Family, Meatraffle, Scud FM and Pregoblin), orchestral art-folk collective This Is The Deep, rising Capitol Records signees Tough Cookie, the poetic folk-rock of Blood Wizard, Stoke’s psych-punk misfits Christian Music, Bristol five-piece Dreamwave, and the ever-iconic one-man pop machine Enjoyable Listens. Also announced: experimental duo uh, jangly post-punkers World News, noise-heavy child3, mathy newcomers Lighthaus, and a secret afterparty DJ set from Dream Wife.

Beyond the music, expect panel talks, live artist Q&As, acoustic pop-ups, secret sets, exclusive merch, and a printed festival zine, co-produced with the stage partners. Alongside Still Listening, this year’s collaborators include DIY Magazine, Omen Magazine and Hard of Hearing Magazine.

With one wristband giving access to all four venues, East London Block Party is a multi-stage celebration of the city’s grassroots community and a day built around the thrill of finding your next favourite band.
