Hampton Court Palace Festival returns to Henry VIII’s former stomping grounds for eleven days of intimate concerts next year. Now in its 29th year, the event is a summer staple for many Londoners – and the first of the 2025 line-up has just been announced.
Manchester rock band Elbow take to the stage on Friday 20 June. Best known for hits such as One Day Like This and Grounds for Divorce, the 3,000-seat show will feature the Mercury Prize winners’ signature orchestral sounds and emotional lyrics
Tickets go on general sale at 10am this Friday (October 18), with prices starting at £85. Anyone who subscribes to the Festival’s newsletter will receive pre-sale access on Thursday (October 17).
You can register by visiting the website here. Tickets can be purchased directly from Hampton Court Palace Festival or via See Tickets.
Not much is known about the ten other headliners yet but they are likely to be announced on social media shortly. In recent years, e.g. Elton John, Tom Jones, Lionel Richie, Tears for Fears, Tracy Chapman and Crowded House have performed on the historic Tudor grounds.
People attending the 2025 shows also have the opportunity to make the experience even more special by enjoying a luxury picnic basket in the East Front Garden before the music starts. For more information on this, visit the festival’s website here.
Hampton Court Palace Festival will take place June 10-June 21, 2025. You can buy tickets here or via See Tickets.
