We are proud to be sponsoring such a great festival again this year. Lee puts his heart and soul into organising this event. A great line up at a brilliant venue. Get your tickets, watch some great bands and support the St. Nicholas Hospice.
* Announcement!*
Hey, everyone! It’s been a while, but we’re back with an exciting update as we gear up for the 10th Anniversary of the Just Push Play Festival in 2025! This milestone year promises to be one for the books, and we can’t wait to share it with you, all in support of St Nicholas Hospice Care. 🖤
First, a bit of sad news: unfortunately, The Hot Damn! have had to pull out of the festival due to a schedule clash. While we’re gutted, we wish them all the best and hope to see them back on our stage in the future. As the band shared:
"Due to an unforeseen schedule clash we regretfully have to withdraw from this year’s Just Push Play event. We’d like to thank Lee for understanding the situation and wish him well for this wonderful and worthy event. We will make it up to you all another time, we promise!"
That said, we’ve got an AMAZING artist stepping into the “Very Special Guest” slot—someone we’ve been trying to bring to Just Push Play for years. We’re thrilled to announce the incredible Dan Byrne will be joining us! I’ve known Dan for a number of years and with his powerhouse voice, incredible songwriting, consummate showmanship (and giver of the finest hugs) you know full well it’s going to be a good one. 🎤🔥
"It's with great pleasure and great anticipation that I can finally announce that I'll be gracing the stage of one of the coolest day-festivals in the UK - Just Push Play! Lee has been a good friend and supporter for years, and I'm honoured to support great people and a great cause. I can't wait to rock The Apex for you all!" – Dan Byrne
But that’s not all—we’ve got two more amazing acts joining the 2025 lineup!
I’m also incredibly excited to announce to further brand new additions to this year’s line up. After their incredible EP ‘Escape the Fire’ released last year which is absolutely all killer and no doubt just a taste of things to come. With a brand new line up already making their mark across this land I am very proud to have the brilliant JOANovARC join us. Emma of course performed with False Hearts back in 2019, so it’s great to have her back on the Just Push Play stage.
"We are super excited to have secured a slot at this year's Just Push Play Festival! After reforming with a new lineup in January 2024, we really appreciate the support from Lee Graham. We can't wait to be a part of this incredible event, all raising money for such a worthy cause. It's going to be an amazing experience!" – JOANovARC
🎸 And finally last year they joined us doing an acoustic set at the ‘Friday Night Shindig’ this year they are back with full band and a full electric set kicking things off. The brilliant James Kennedy & The Underdogs! They were an absolute discovery for me last year after my good friend Alec the Crazy Cowboy himself sent me their ‘Make Anger Great Again’ album so I was over the moon to have them play at Just Push Play Friday Night last year and even more excited to have them on the mainstage this year
"We are super stoked to be joining the mighty Just Push Play 2025. It's an honour to be sharing the stage with such an incredible lineup of awesome bands and all for an amazing cause. We met so many brilliant people there last year and had such a great time, so we can't wait to come back and do it all again bigger, louder, and crazier!" – James Kennedy and the Underdogs
These fantastic acts join our already announced headliners: the mighty The Virginmarys, alongside Gorilla Riot and Häxan! With this lineup, you know this year’s festival is going to be unforgettable. 🎶🔥
