Boyzone’s Keith Duffy and Westlife’s Brian McFadden have enjoyed the most incredible success since forming Boyzlife back in 2016.

As members of two of the biggest boybands in the world, together they have sold over 55 million records and notched up an impressive 17 Number One hit singles! Performing the classic hits of both Boyzone and Westlife, as well as their impressive new material, Boyzlife will be a fantastic addition to the WentFest ’25 party!

Away from JLS Aston has carved out an impressive solo career with hits such as Get Stupid, Overboard and How Many Times, as well as performing on hit TV shows such as The Masked Singer and Strictly Come Dancing. Performing both solo hits and JLS anthems, we cannot wait to welcome Aston to the WentFest ’25 Main Stage!

ELIOT KENNEDY & FRIENDS

We are thrilled to welcome Grammy and Ivor Novello Award winner Eliot Kennedy to WentFest ’25.

Eliot has had the most incredible career as a songwriter and producer, creating hits for Take That (Everything Changes), Bryan Adams (When You’re Gone / Back To You), Celine Dion (Let’s Talk About Love), Spice Girls (Say You’ll Be There), S Club 7 (Bring It All Back), Aretha Franklin (Never Gonna Break My Faith), Blue (Guilty) and Boyzone (Picture Of You) to name just a few!!! Eliot is an incredible live performer himself and is putting his band together specifically for WentFest ’25, where he promises to bring one of his artists as a special guest…. But just who could that be?! We cannot wait to find out!

STEPHANIE HIRST'S BELTERS LIVE

Once again we welcome the amazing Stephanie Hirst with her incredible Belters Live show, mixing up the very best classic dance anthems of all time. This has been the perfect soundtrack to the WentFest closing party for the last two years, and we cannot wait to experience it again in 2025 – not that we’re in a rush to get to the end of the day, of course! But when it comes, this really is the best way to go out on a high!

THE ROSADOCS

One of our own! We have worked closely with The Rosadocs since they first played our New Music Stage back in 2021. Since then, they have completed their own UK tours, sold out headline shows at both Sheffield City Hall and The Octagon as well as performing at some of the UK’s biggest festivals! They are still very loyal to WentFest, and we could not be more proud to have them back on our Main Stage at WentFest ‘25!

SAM SCHERDEL

Described as the “South Yorkshire Springsteen” by the music press, Sam Scherdel has been releasing music since 2022 and since then he’s been on the most incredible journey. Sam will be releasing his brand new album “Meet Me On The Moon” in February 2025 and we are thrilled that Sam will be playing the Main Stage at WentFest ’25!

TORONTO ROCK EXPERIENCE

As ever at WentFest we like to surprise with some of the biggest and best rock acts, and this year is no different! Fronted by outstanding rock vocalist Sharon Lewis, we cannot wait to introduce you to Toronto Rock Experience! Be prepared to be blown away by this incredible band as they perform some of the biggest rock anthems of all time!

BICKER

Sisters Molly and Lucy Wilkinson have been wowing crowds for years now with their unique music performances. Combining a mixture of well-known covers and original material, Bicker were one of the most popular new music acts on our New Music Stage back in 2022. It’s been a real pleasure to watch them grow further and we can’t wait for them to perform to a much bigger audience on our Main Stage at WentFest ’25.
