Into The Wild Festival makes its anticipated return this August 22–25, bringing its signature blend of community, music, and deep connection to nature back to Chiddingly Estate in Sussex. With the first wave of names now revealed for its electronic music stage, the 2025 edition promises an unforgettable weekend that seamlessly merges cutting-edge sounds with holistic, earth-centered experiences.
This year’s electronic lineup spans house, techno, progressive, and alternative electronica, featuring a vibrant roster of selectors including Woody Cook, SuperCLAUD, Ellie Talebian, DJ Estavia, Heiko, Miss Lightbeam, Eloise Minton, DJ Kristiaan, Nik Valentine, Ross Harper, and Temple Hedz. Additional artists are still to be announced, promising even more depth to an already compelling bill.
Beyond its music programming, Into The Wild has become one of the UK’s most cherished family-friendly festivals thanks to its inclusive ethos, diverse cultural offerings, and unwavering dedication to environmental awareness. Since its founding in 2014, the festival has blossomed into a vibrant gathering of 5,000 attendees annually—fostering a space where lifelong friendships are born, creative collaborations thrive, and stories as profound as marriage proposals and even a festival birth are part of its growing legacy.
Workshops and wild crafts remain the festival’s spiritual core, with 2025 offering one of the most expansive educational lineups to date. Over 200 hands-on sessions—included in the ticket price—will span everything from traditional foraging and fire making to ceramic artistry, chocolate crafting, flint knapping with Will Lord, yoga, and medicinal plant walks. These immersive activities are designed to ground attendees in a deeper relationship with themselves and the natural world.
The global music stage will also showcase an eclectic array of acts such as Daraa Tribe with North African nomadic rhythms, Ant Bahar Di, Ustad Noor Bakhsh from Rajasthan, Viktus, the Mongolian Odyssey ensemble with traditional throat singing, The Magic Tree Collective, and Welsh folk visionary Bethan Lloyd—adding rich cultural textures to the weekend’s soundscape.
Sustainability and activism are central to Into The Wild’s mission. The festival continues its collaboration with organizations like the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, WWF, Greenpeace, The Twelve Step Fellowship, and the Sussex Wildlife Trust, championing a program rooted in conservation, education, and social change.
In tandem with its growth, Into The Wild has launched its own CIC Wilderlands, an initiative aimed at rewilding, habitat restoration, and wildlife support across the UK. This deep commitment to ecological responsibility solidifies Into The Wild as more than just a music festival—it’s a regenerative movement.
With its evolving vision, cross-cultural programming, and uniquely soulful atmosphere, Into The Wild Festival 2025 stands out once again as a transformative celebration for seekers, dancers, and dreamers alike.
