Kenilworth is gearing up for its "biggest and best-ever" live music event - the Let It Be Live Big Weekender - taking place on 9 and 10 August 2025.

"With an incredible line-up, a strong commitment to supporting charities, and a dedication to boosting local businesses and grassroots music, this two-day festival is set to be a landmark celebration for the town," organisers said.

Hosted at Kenilworth Sporting Ground on Gypsy Lane, music lovers are "in for a treat" as the festival will feature an "electrifying mix of legendary acts", including Judge Jules Live with 10-piece band, Britpop favourites Dodgy, and the soulful sounds of Lemar.

In addition to the headline acts, grassroots musicians will have the chance to showcase their talent on a grand stage, reaching new audiences and making their mark.

Sponsored by Music Smart, part of the PackSmart Group, this initiative "highlights the festival's dedication to supporting emerging artists, ensuring the next generation of musicians can thrive while bringing fresh sounds and vibrant energy to the event".

Beyond the music, Let It Be Live Big Weekender says it is dedicated to giving back to the community.

The festival will support the Air Ambulance Service, helping to raise awareness and vital funds for their life-saving work.

"A major focus of the event is supporting local businesses and food vendors, bringing an array of delicious street food, craft drinks, and artisan delights to the festival grounds," organisers continued.

"From classic festival favourites to locally sourced specialties, attendees can expect a true taste of Kenilworth while enjoying the music."

The festival will also include an activity led by Band One, an initiative dedicated to helping children get into music.

With interactive workshops and engaging sessions, young music enthusiasts will be encouraged to explore their creativity, learn new skills, and discover their passion for live music.
