There are few things in life more enjoyable than watching live music with a high quality beer or wine , and Southend's Lazydays Festival has both in spades.  The Festival is brought to you from former volunteers at the wonderful (alas now defunk) Brownstock Festival. 

Lazydays Festival will be taking over Priory Park from 25–27 July 2025, with brimming vibes, banging tunes, and seriously stellar craft drinks.

Now in its second year, the line up is full of crowd pleasers and chart toppers: Example ignites Friday night, Embrace belts their hits Saturday, Peter Doherty gives poetic solo magic, and soul legends Soul II Soul close out Sunday with full band vibes. Sprinkled in between are names like Katy B, Judge Jules, MistaJam, Lightning Seeds, The Coral, Badly Drawn Boy and more—plus a mash‑up of up‑and‑coming local talent.

But it’s not just music—the real headline is a fizzing array of over 50 craft drinks. Think indie breweries, Essex wines, cocktails, ciders and artisan gin collaborations—plus tastings, masterclasses, panel chats, and more. Pair that with street food and chill-out zones, and you’ve got a true summer weekend mood.

Lazydays delivers all the charm—minus the mega-fest mayhem. So grab your deckchair, your besties, and your good vibes…and let's make some sunny memories.
