Soundside Music Festival Shares 2025 Artist Lineup: Vampire Weekend, The Killers, Weezer, Hozier and More
Soundside Music Festival has officially unveiled the full artist lineup for its 2025 event. Staging at Bridgeport, Conn.’s Seaside Park again on Sept. 27 and 28, C3 Presents’ coastal festival will return for its second-annual iteration after a celebrated rebranding last year and presentations as “Sound On Sound” in 2022 and 2023. To make a splash with its sophomore stand, Soundside will host 20 high-profile performers from the worlds of alternative, Americana, indie-rock, pop and folk led by headliners The Killers and Hozier
On Saturday, Sept. 27, Soundside’s first-day program will be spearheaded by the festival-friendly alt-rock titans The Killers, who headlined C3’s Northeast peer festival in 2024. This culminating performance will be preceded by a penultimate set from enduring and endearing pop-rockers Weezer, as well as Joe Keery’s garage-psych project DJO and the Michelle Zauner-led indie pop pathbreakers Japanese Breakfast. The Last Dinner Party, Inhaler, Rachel Chinouriri, Wild Rivers, Hollow Coves and Dipsea Flowers will round out the bill.
On Sunday, Sept. 28, Hozier will arrive at Seaside Park to headline day two, after the Irish folk-rock forerunner previously delivered an electrifying performance at 2023’s Sound On Sound. His set will follow Vampire Weekend, still riding the high of 2024’s revelatory Only God Was Above Us, plus indie up-and-comers The Backseat Lovers and alt-pop fan-favorite Remi Wolf. Other exciting acts like Chelsea Cutler, Alex Warren, Gigi Perez, Brenn!, Vundabar and Happy Landing comprise the more pop-focused finale.
As always, Sounside will follow a single-stage format, so concertgoers will have a chance to catch each act in its entirety without competing set-times. Fans can secure their tickets by registering for the SMS presale, which will guarantee access at the lowest rate this Thursday, April 3 from 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. ET. Ticket prices will increase with the general on-sale at 11 a.m. For more information, visit soundsidemusicfestival.com.
