So grab a pint, find your perfect spot, and get ready to soak up the sounds of Cro Cro Land 2025 – because this year’s lineup is not one to be missed.

It wouldn’t be Cro Cro Land without a killer lineup, and this year’s is stacked with fierce guitar bands, genre-blurring newcomers, and indie icons in the making. Here’s a taste of what’s coming your way this weekend… check out our official Cro Cro Land playlists here and here.

Names you can expect this weekend include:

Big Joanie – London’s finest Black feminist punk trio are bringing their blend of riot grrrl energy and soulful harmonies to Croydon. Expect fuzzy riffs, defiant lyrics, and serious attitude.

Billy Nomates – If you like your punk with a side of minimalist beats, razor-sharp lyrics, and serious swagger, then Billy Nomates is your must-see act this weekend. Blending post-punk, spoken word, and electro-tinged defiance, her live show is a raw, unfiltered explosion of attitude and energy.

ARXX – Fuzzy guitars? Check. Thunderous drums? Check. Riotous energy? Double check. ARXX are the Brighton-based duo bringing their electrifying mix of garage rock, punk, and alt-pop to Cro Cro Land this weekend.

Benefits – Hailing from the North East, this noise-punk collective delivers an all-out sonic assault—think fierce spoken-word vocals, industrial beats, and a wall of distortion that hits like a sledgehammer. Their music is a rallying cry against the state of the world, covering everything from class struggles to political corruption with raw, unfiltered intensity.

Loose Articles – Mancunian post-punk with a mischievous grin and a razor-sharp edge – that’s Loose Articles in a nutshell. This all-female four-piece are as much about witty, politically charged lyrics as they are about infectious, lo-fi punk energy.

We are so excited for this next installment. If you haven’t got your ticket, we have a few left which you can book here.
