Iron Blossom Music Festival 2025 Returns with Its Most Ambitious Lineup Yet
The Iron Blossom Music Festival is back, and this year’s edition promises to be its most exciting yet. Set to take place on Saturday, September 20, and Sunday, September 21, 2025, the festival brings an eclectic lineup of powerhouse performers to the scenic Midtown Green (formerly the Training Center on Leigh). As summer winds down, Iron Blossom offers the perfect farewell celebration for music lovers with an unforgettable weekend of live performances, local eats, and creative artisan displays.
Topping the bill are two heavyweight headliners: Americana legends The Lumineers and indie rock icons Vampire Weekend. Known for their anthemic, crowd-singalong hits and captivating stage presence, these headliners alone make Iron Blossom a must-see event.
Joining them are psychedelic rock trio Khruangbin, whose hypnotic grooves promise to turn the festival grounds into a transcendent sonic experience, and indie folk sensations Rainbow Kitten Surprise, known for their dynamic live shows and deeply emotional songwriting.
The undercard is equally impressive, boasting a mix of critically acclaimed and buzzworthy acts across genres. From the soulful blues of Teskey Brothers to the modern Americana of Watchhouse, the festival’s lineup balances indie, folk, and experimental styles. Expect electrifying sets from acts like Futurebirds, Medium Build, Dexter & The Moonrocks, and the feel-good vibes of The 502s. Fans of lush, melodic soundscapes will find plenty to love with performances by The Paper Kites, Kate Bollinger, and Hazlett.
Up-and-coming talent also gets its spotlight, with acts like Friko, Palmyra, Improvement Movement, Holy Roller, Jack Stepanian, and Catie Lausten bringing their fresh perspectives to the stage. And don’t miss Butcher Brown, whose genre-defying fusion of jazz, funk, and hip-hop is sure to be a festival highlight.
In addition to the stellar music lineup, Iron Blossom celebrates the local community with incredible regional eats and an artisan bazaar showcasing handmade goods from talented makers in the area. From unique crafts to delicious food offerings, the festival’s marketplace is a testament to the vibrant culture that surrounds the event.

With its bold lineup, incredible atmosphere, and celebration of local artistry, the 2025 Iron Blossom Music Festival is shaping up to be the ultimate end-of-summer celebration.
