THE WOMBATS headline ‘At Trentham’ on Thursday 29th May 2025.
With support from Pale Waves and Red Rum Club
The Wombats, one of the UK’s most celebrated indie bands, are known for their sharp lyrics and danceable anthems. Their latest album, Fix Yourself, Not The World, topped the UK charts in 2022, and their new record, Oh! The Ocean, is set for release in February 2025. Fans at Trentham can look forward to a mix of fresh tracks and favourites such as 'Let’s Dance to Joy Division' and 'Moving to New York' being performed.
Support comes from Manchester’s Pale Waves, whose emotionally charged alt-pop sound has made them a leading name in British indie music. Their 2024 album, Smitten, reflects frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie’s journey of love and self-discovery, earning them widespread acclaim. Opening the evening is Liverpool’s Red Rum Club, whose brass-infused “Mariachi Merseybeat” style saw their latest album, Western Approaches, break into the UK Top 10 earlier this year.

OCEAN COLOUR SCENE headline ‘At Trentham’ on Friday 30th May 2025.
With Support from The Enemy
Ocean Colour Scene’s rip-roaring live shows are legendary, offering communal outpourings of hope and joy, with some of the most life-affirming singalongs you’ll ever hear. Having spent six years honing their sound, the band exploded onto the Britpop scene, delivering three Top 5 albums: Moseley Shoals (1996), Marchin’ Already (1997), and One From The Modern (1999). Their chart-topping hits include 17 Top 40 singles, such as the iconic “The Riverboat Song.” Ocean Colour Scene remains one of the most beloved bands of their era, known for their high-energy performances and a career-defining ability to bring audiences together.
Adding to the excitement, The Enemy will bring their distinctive blend of Britpop swagger and punk energy to the stage. Hailing from Coventry, this trio—lead singer and guitarist Tom Clarke, bassist Andy Hopkins, and drummer Liam Watts—rose to fame in 2007 with their debut album, We’ll Live and Die in These Towns, featuring hits like “Away From Here” and “It’s Not OK.” Their sound, often likened to the passion of The Jam and the bravado of Oasis, propelled them to major success, including a sold-out reunion tour in 2022 after a hiatus. Now back in the studio working on their fifth album, The Enemy continues to captivate fans old and new, making them a perfect addition to this unforgettable night.

NATHAN DAWE headlines ‘At Trentham’ on Saturday 31st May 2025
With support from Jax Jones and The House & Garage Orchestra
BRIT-nominated DJ/producer Nathan Dawe is one of the UK’s biggest breakout dance acts of the last five years. Buoyed by a huge fan base in Birmingham and the Midlands, Nathan’s regional transmits nationwide – as evidenced by a series of standout UK Top 10 singles.
From BRIT-nominated UK #3 single ‘Lighter’ ft. KSI to 2022’s UK #9 summer anthem ’21 Reasons’ ft. Ella Henderson, Nathan has established himself as a bonafide and definitive dance artist. Further collaborations with everyone from Little Mix to Anne-Marie to Joel Corry & Ella Henderson on 2023 summer smash, ‘O800 HEAVEN’, also continue to showcase his fluid and versatile approach to music-making.
If that wasn’t enough, Nathan has also earned a host of different accolades over the last three years. In January 2021, he was crowned MTV’s Push Artist for 2021 for example, holding off competition from the likes of Griff, Arlo Parks and Pa Salieu, and was later also made an official ambassador of Aston Villa FC’s Academy – the football team he’s supported since he was a boy.
Nathan also held down his debut residency at Ibiza Rocks in 2021 – he played his third consecutive residency slot this summer – and has appeared at some of the UK’s biggest dance festivals including Creamfields, We Are FSTVL, Pierjam, Bassfest and Boardmasters, as well as a host of bustling club dates across Europe all summer long.
