RADAR Festival add second headliner Underoath, plus 12 more bands

RADAR have made their next announcement for this year’s edition of the festival.

The Manchester event – which takes place between July 4 – 6 at the O2 Victoria Warehouse – will be headlined by the mighty Underoath (joining previously announced headliner Carpenter Brut in a UK exclusive), with other line-up additions including YONAKA, As Everything Unfolds, Lake Malice, Tropic Gold and more.

“Underoath!” exclaims RADAR co-founder and co-organiser Joe James. “There is a lot for me to unpack here. Announce one of your all-time favourite bands! Check ✓ Have them close out the next edition of the festival! Check ✓ Book them for a 2025 UK Festival exclusive! ✓

“We’re pretty stoked to announce a band that has meant so much to so many people growing up. A band we’ve been after for a few years and finally made it work with a speculative email.

“Alongside Underoath, we can announce some of the hottest bands of the moment, creating a weekend that you won’t want to miss out on. Yonaka, Novelists, As Everything Unfolds, Allt, Lake Malice, Oni, Tropic Gold, Avralize, Arch Echo, Ġenn, Mother Vulture and Deity’s Muse.

“We’re nearly there with RADAR 5.0 – a few bands left to come on March 3 with day splits, then it’s time to think about heading to Manchester!”
