BOOT – – – MUSIC Magazine are proud to announce the line up for BOOT FEST 2025, the annual open-air all-dayer taking place on July 19th in the Future Yard garden in Birkenhead. Maccelsfileld’s sunshine Indie trio Cassia will headline the festival which is packed full of the most exciting new indie artists from across the North-West.
Headliners Cassia have just released their new sun-soaked album ‘everyone, outside’, an appropriate title for this outdoor festival headline. Currently on half a million monthly listeners on Spotify, the album has been met with widespread acclaim and features stand out singles ‘friends’ and ‘heat’.
The new line up announcement also features Liverpool Indie quartet Permanent (Joy) who have gone from strength to strength, completely redefi ning their sound with their debut EP and supporting the likes of Inhaler and Blossoms. They blend the more haunting, bittersweet tones of Wunderhorse’s Shoe-gaze infl uenced tracks while adding the breezy tones of 90s Indie as well as some grittier modern Post-Punk energy like in their single ‘I Wanna Go Home’.
North-West Indie songwriters Tilly Louise and Hannah Mazey will be bringing infectious summer melodies while Room Two offer that Scouse Psychedelic twang with powerful vocals and vibrant instrumentals. Finally, quirky Post-Punk / Indie Sleaze vincent’s last summer will be making the trip across the M6 to bring their tongue-in-cheek anthems while fellow Mancunian Indie outfi t Bayboards will have non-stop festival ready bangers.
Finally, four of Liverpool’s most promising new indie acts – Honey Motel, BITE and Cornerstone will be joining the line up, blending singalong melodies and festival energy with soulful vocal performances and instrumental fl air. You can discover the full line up on the festival playlist now.
