The first acts for the Love Saves The Day 2025 line-up, including this year’s headliners, have been unveiled. The iconic Bristol music festival will return to Ashton Court on Saturday, May 24, and Sunday, May 25, for a Bank Holiday weekend full of some big names in the world of dance music in particular.
Known for bringing some of the most exciting DJs and live performers from across the country each year, Love Saves The Day has today announced that Overmono and Nia Archives will headline the Saturday and Sunday of this year’s festival, respectively. The ‘breakout queen of jungle’, Nia Archives will be bringing her signature junglist sound to close out the bank holiday Sunday, while electronic duo Overmono feature a ‘genre-blurring fusion of UK garage and techno’ as they ‘blend live elements with their incredible soundscapes’ as Saturday’s headliners.
Meanwhile, among other names on the line-up, crowd favourites Skream & Benga will reunite for a rare and unparalleled performance at Love Saves the Day, bringing their ‘pioneering’ dubstep sound and ‘legendary’ energy to the stage. Hybrid Minds will be returning to Bristol, bringing their signature blend of ‘soulful melodies, liquid rhythms and euphoric sounds’.
Adding to the already stellar line-up will be D&B legend and festival favourite Shy FX, returning to Love Saves The Day with his extensive back catalogue of iconic tracks. UK rapper and songwriter Giggs will also be returning to Love Saves the Day for the first time since 2016, adding some ‘incredible sauce’ to the weekend.
