Preview – DedFest 25

DedFest, Crockstead Fields, Lewes, 16th August 2025

Returning to the East Sussex countryside, DedFest is back to showcase a cluster of breakthrough artists. Co-presented by DedBest Distillery and Hidden Herd, the combination of live music and locally handcrafted drinks is surely a winning combination for a summertime Saturday.

Curating a great selection of music, the festival is family (and dog) friendly so we’ll certainly be hoping to catch up with some four-legged friends as well as taking in sets from talented acts, some of whom we’ve seen before and some we’ve still to discover.

The impressive line-up consists of (deep breath)… Atticomatic, ChitChat, Comforts, Congratulations, Fukushima Dolphin, Gaffa Tape Sandy, Ideal Living, Keg, Lean with the Breeze, Lucy Darke, Moon Idle, Mulimba, Nature TV, Projector, Room Service, Sansom, Telecom, The Rapports, The Roebucks, The Stanford Family Band, Trip Westerns and Winter Gardens. You’ll find many of these covered in our previous features – just enter the artist name into the search box at the bottom of any page.

Remaining tickets and more details here – camping is available.

See you on the fields!
