Sharing the announcement, organisers wrote: ‘Gazing down across the Festival site from the heady heights of the hill top, The Park returns in 2025 with another line-up of spectacular acts to inspire wonder and ignite delight!
‘This ever-vibrant home of eclectic fabulousness offers a host of venues bent on robbing your every inhibition, and filling your mind – and every synapse – with bacchian wonder.’

‘They’ve got summer shows coming up, one is Dreamland Summer Series in Margate on June 27,’ Lauren noted on BBC6 Music yesterday, before adding: ‘What else is happening that weekend? It’s a long way to come to go to Margate, not that Margate isn’t great…’
