Carpenter Brut, Zeal & Ardor and more for RADAR Festival 2025

Carpenter Brut, Zeal & Ardor and more have been announced for RADAR Festival 2025.

Next year’s Manchester event – which takes place at the O2 Victoria Warehouse between July 4 – 6 – will host the darkwave legend as a UK exclusive, as well as the aforementioned Z&A plus Normandie, Intervals, GHØSTKID, David Maxim Micic, Floya, Pintglass, Future Palace, Cyan Kicks, Tiberius, Air Drawn Dagger, Continents, Hero In Error and Waterlines.

“We’re hitting the ground running with Carpenter Brut’s only UK performance in 2025 as our first headliner announcement,” says RADAR co-founder Catherine Jackson-Smith. “They’re a band that we’ve admired for a long time and their production combined with the mammoth effort that they put into making a special, one-off event is something that aligns exactly with what we want for our statement sets! Our first announcement is a solid mix of fresh new music that we know our RADAR community will love plus some familiar faces, rising up the ranks and showing everyone why they’ve become such firm favourites.

“This is only the beginning and we can’t wait to share more of our plans with the RADAR community as RADAR 5.0 starts to take shape properly.”
