One of Sheffield’s best-loved DIY music events, Jarred Up Festival, has just dropped the second wave of artists set to play its 2025 edition – and it’s shaping up to be another belter.
Taking place on Saturday 25th October 2025 at the ever-excellent Sidney & Matilda, the one-day festival will welcome five new additions to the bill: LIFE, Jeanie and The White Boys, Treeboy & Arc, Bloodworm, and Cruush.
These latest names join an already stacked line-up headlined by Do Nothing, with previously announced acts including Grandmas House, Floral Image, Georgian, and Yowl.
Fresh from their recent support slots with The Moonlandingz and Warmduscher, Jeanie and The White Boys bring their dynamic London sound to the Steel City for the first time, while LIFE – Hull’s post-punk powerhouse – are a long-awaited booking for the Jarred Up crew.
“LIFE are a band we’ve been wanting to book for a while here at Jarred Up, so it’s fantastic to finally have them play the festival,” says founder James Watkins. “Jeanie and The White Boys are doing some really cool things. We saw them recently and knew straight away we had to get them on. Treeboy & Arc are another one we’ve wanted back in Sheffield for some time, and both Bloodworm and Cruush represent everything we love about the current UK guitar scene.”
The October festival follows on from last year’s sold-out success, which saw Aussie dance-punk trio DZ Deathrays headline alongside an impressive bill featuring Vona Vella, Baba Ali, Cooper T, Duvet, Gallus, and Home Counties.
Having quickly established itself as a key date in Sheffield’s live music calendar, Jarred Up Festival continues to punch well above its weight when it comes to curating line-ups packed with both hype and substance. Known for their razor-sharp taste and passion for grassroots music, Jarred Up have built a loyal following – and the early ticket sales reflect that, with over a quarter of tickets already gone and all early bird tiers snapped up.
Tier 1 tickets are currently on sale for £30 and are available here. More acts will be revealed in the coming months, with updates shared across Jarred Up’s socials and website.
