BoA Live Music Festival 2025

The Bradford on Avon Live Music Festival is back for another year of championing local talent with an eclectic line-up of impeccable performers — in association with Wiltshire Music Centre.  

We’ve come a long way since launching the event in 2022! Now with music pouring out of venues across the entire town and 3 days of music to choose from. 

From indie to rock, pop, jazz and blues — there really is something for everyone at this year’s festival.  

From Friday 30 May, to Sunday 1 June, the town will come alive with incredible performances, headlined by The Bowie Experience, Retro Electro and Nick Langston and the Hipcats, supported by JPQ. 

This Wiltshire Music Centre are bringing post-punk legend, Jah Wobble and the infectious afro-beat Gasper Nali band.  

The town has a deep love of music, from classical and choral performances at Wiltshire Music Centre to grassroots gigs in Lamb Yard and local pubs.  

Our town is a hub of creativity, and we’re proud to keep that spirit alive through the BOA Live Music Festival. 

Throughout the weekend there will be music at 8 BOA venues, including:  

• Westbury Garden 

• Trinity Hall (St Laurence School) 

• Wiltshire Music Centre 

• Lamb Yard 

• The Castle Inn 

• The Three Horseshoes 

• The Canal Tavern 

• Timbrell’s Yard.  

We’d like to say a huge thank you to our amazing sponsors — Kingstons Estate Agents, H2 Creative, Citroen Peugeot Specialist and Beswick Stone — whose support has made this event possible. 

We’d also like to thank the volunteers who’ve helped organise the fantastic line-up of bands and artists set to dazzle audiences throughout the weekend — and those who’ll be on hand to help keep the event safe and running smoothly on the day.
