King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut has launched its New Year’s Revolution line-up for 2025, showcasing more than 60 up-and-coming musicians with intimate gigs from Thursday 2–Saturday 25 January. Tickets for all shows are on sale now. 

Billed as a chance for punters to discover new music and future stars, this 14th edition of the gig series will include popstar ili, who’s been sneaking up the charts and receiving airplay on Radio 1; Fright Years, an indie rock outfit whose latest single ‘Stars’ was celebrated on Radio 1 last month; as well as pop-rock band The Marches, singer-songwriter Indoor Foxes and alt folk-rockers Lacuna.

Meg Denholm, booker of King Tut’s New Year’s Revolution at DF Concerts said, ‘We’re so excited to welcome this year’s emerging musical talent to the King Tut’s stage in January. We’ve worked hard to secure a line-up with an eclectic range of genres for something that everyone will enjoy, as well as a high representation of female-identifying artists which is super important to us at King Tut’s.

‘This New Year’s Revolution is more special than ever before, marking 35 years of King Tut’s - we’re so proud of our small, but mighty venue, and this festival of live music is the perfect way to kick off the celebrations.’
