Step into the world of District X

Enter another dimension this summer with the ultimate festival playground.

Bringing their iconic hits to District X this year are Vengaboys, who’ll deliver a whopping dose of nostalgia to kick off the weekend. Across five days you’ve also got epic DJ sets from Cradle of Filth’s Dani Filth, Modestep, Dougie Poynter, Zoe London and more, who’ll be keeping energy levels high well into the early hours.

Wrestling is well and truly back for 2025, as is a stellar line-up of comedy acts and live podcasts, including rock royalty Justin Hawkins from The Darkness and the much-loved On Wednesdays We Wear Black.

You’ll also find the return of Darkfield who are bringing their immersive SÉANCE experience to DLXXII, as well as Flow State Wellness, Blink and Diverse UK who will have dedicated areas for drop-in relaxation sessions, mindfulness and sensory calm spaces.

On top of that, there’s intimate acoustic sets, interactive quizzes, bingo, aerobics and sports events, plus family-friendly performances from Slay Duggee and Rock Kids.

If you need a break, you can head down to the expanded Ace of Spades and all-new Gravers Return food & drink area to fuel up and recharge.

Oh, and there might be a few surprises thrown in too…
