The full line-up for Rock N Roll Circus Norwich 2025 is now officially confirmed – and it’s huge. Joining previously announced headliners McFly, Courteeners, and Olly Murs are a fresh wave of top-tier talent, including garage legends Artful Dodger, pop powerhouse Pixie Lott and rock hitmakers The Hoosiers.

With over 40 artists now confirmed, Rock N Roll Circus is set to transform Earlham Park from 14th–16th August 2025 into one of the UK’s most exciting new festival experiences.

This summer’s headliners need little introduction. McFly – one of Britain’s most beloved pop-rock bands – bring their two decades of hits and high-energy performances to Thursday night.  With 7 UK number ones and countless platinum records, they remain a festival favourite.

Friday sees indie giants Courteeners take the stage.  Known for their huge live shows and era-defining tracks like Not Nineteen Forever and Are You In Love With A Notion?, they’re a must-see for fans of British guitar music.

Closing the weekend in style is Olly Murs, the chart-topping singer-songwriter and TV favourite whose infectious charisma and catalogue of pop anthems will provide the perfect Saturday night finale.

This latest artist announcement adds even more depth to the weekend. The Hoosiers return with their signature eccentric energy and indie-pop anthems, perfect for lifting Thursday’s atmosphere. The Hoosiers are an English pop rock band who were originally formed in Indianapolis in the USA. Famed for songs such as Worried About Ray, Goodbye Mr A, Cops & Robbers and A Sadness Runs Through Him, they continue to perform across the globe singing their UK Top 10 hits.

Pixie Lott brings her soulful vocals and chart-topping hits to Saturday’s pop-leaning finale while Artful Dodger will inject pure nostalgia and dancefloor energy into the mix, delivering a set packed with 90s and 2000s garage classics.

Since selling 1.6 million copies of her 2009 debut album Turn It Up, Pixie has notched up three UK No.1 tracks, sold over four million singles, secured four BRIT nominations and won 2 MTV EMA Awards. She has fronted campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, performed at Fendi’s Paris Fashion Week and judged The Voice Kids. A rare quadruple threat – singer, songwriter, actress and dancer – Pixie continues to push the boundaries of what is possible.

Also performing across the weekend are Jamie Lawson, Sam Fischer, Charlie Floyd, After Drive, Macie Nyah, Mama Oh No, Nina Arya, and emerging artists Dolder, The High Point, Caswell, Youth Killed It, and Lady Of Mars.

Beyond the music, Rock N Roll Circus is a fully immersive experience like no other. Expect world-class circus performances across the weekend – from aerial acrobatics and fire breathers to roaming stilt walkers and sideshow surprises. Much of the action takes place under the iconic Big Top, ensuring the thrills continue come rain or shine.

Festivalgoers will also enjoy a carefully curated selection of Norfolk’s finest food and drink, with independent traders, local breweries, cocktail bars, and global street food favourites offering something for every taste.

Tickets are available as day passes or full weekend options, with a limited number of VIP packages offering added perks including fast-track entry, exclusive viewing areas, luxury toilets and private bars.

Festival Director Ali O’Reilly said: “Rock N Roll Circus in Norwich is shaping up to be something really special. With McFly, Courteeners, and Olly Murs headlining and brilliant new additions like Artful Dodger, The Hoosiers, and Pixie Lott, it’s a line-up not to be missed.

“Combine that with our immersive circus vibe and some of the best food and drink East Anglia has to offer – this is going to be a weekend to remember.”
