Returning for its seventh edition, Brighton’s seminal Mutations Festival is set to return on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th November 2025, boasting an exciting mix of the most explosive, established, and brand-new international artists, all performing across nine of the city’s most treasured Grassroots Music Venues.
One of the most beloved events of the Brighton autumn music calendar, Mutations Festival 2025 is shaping up to be the strongest, most ambitious, and most cohesive edition yet.
Headlining this year’s festival are two of the UK’s most exhilarating live acts. On Friday, the seminal South London post-punk quartet Dry Cleaning, fresh from recording their 3rd album with Cate Le Bon, make their welcome live return to Brighton. On Saturday, local legends Lambrini Girls continue their meteoric rise, returning to Mutations Festival to headline with their unique brand of chaotic, unapologetic punk rock, a sound that has seen them dominate festival main stages around the world in 2025.
Renowned for consistently showcasing ‘the next big thing’, from CMAT, Yard Act, and Sprints in 2021, to The Last Dinner Party, Wunderhorse, and Fat Dog in 2022, and English Teacher, Antony Szmierek, and Paris Paloma in 2023, Mutations Festival 2025 will be no exception. Joining Dry Cleaning and Lambrini Girls this year are some of the most vital, urgent and boundary-pushing artists from across the globe, including:
Gritty, poetic post-punks Big Special, who’ve been making waves across the UK in 2025 with their critically acclaimed new album National Average; Hotly tipped indie art-rock trio Mary and the Junkyard, fresh from supporting Wet Leg across North America; Seminal British psychedelic noise-rock powerhouse Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs; Acclaimed, alt-country breakout act Divorce, who describe their sound as “Wilco meets ABBA”; Fast-rising London alt-rock quartet Keo whose headline shows have been selling out across the UK in minutes; Immersive post-punk shoegazers Bdrmm whose recent new album ‘Microtonic’ received widespread critical acclaim; Welsh garage-Indie Rockers The Bug Club; Local post-punk/no-wave heroes Ditz, who originally formed after a chance conversation at Mutations Festival 2015; Emerging Birmingham noise rock duo GANS; Alternative emo-punk rockers University, whose distinctive sound is unlike anything else you’ll hear in 2025; Avant-pop trio Stealing Sheep, whose experimental and psychedelic sound continue to challenge creative boundaries; American DIY skate-punks Upchuck; …and over 75 more exhilarating, genre-defying, and inspiring artists.
With all this and more, Mutations Festival 2025 is set to be one for the ages.
