Radar Festival announce two more bands, plus Alyx Holcombe DJ set

RADAR Festival have announced two new bands for this year’s festival!

Following March’s announcement, which saw the likes of BOB VYLANDREAM STATEAS DECEMBER FALLS and more confirmed, now, the final two bands for this year’s festival have been revealed.

German post-hardcore outfit ANNISOKAY – who come in to replace ONI – and traditional Irish meets metal band THE SCRATCH are the final additions to this year’s festival. Additionally, RADIO 1 DJ ALYX HOLCOMBE will helm the afterparty on the Saturday night.

Speaking about the final additions to the lineup, festival co-founder and co-organiser of RADAR, Joe James shares, “well, that’s it for the music booking for 2025 (we’ve been booking 2026 for a while in honesty!) and we’re in the final straight heading towards the festival in July. German post-hardcore band ANNISOKAY are in to replace ONI (who can no longer make it) and the last missing band from the lineup is THE SCRATCH, who mix traditional Irish music with the groove and intensity of metal. They’re going to get the tired bodies moving on the last day!

We’re also delighted to welcome our friend of the festival and RADIO 1 DJ, ALYX HOLCOMBE, who’ll be looking after you for the Saturday night afterparty. Next up we’re going to be announcing the lineup for the other side of the festival, The Music & Gaming Market. We’ve exceeded anything we’ve had in there before, so we’re very excited to start announcing the content.”
