Gwen Stefani, Def Leppard, and More Light Up Churchill Park Festival 2025
Hey folks, let’s talk about something exciting lighting up the summer in St. John’s—yes, it’s the Churchill Park Music Festival ! This annual celebration is quickly becoming one of the biggest music events in Canada, and 2025’s edition is shaping up to be unforgettable. Whether you're into classic rock, indie vibes, or mainstream pop hits, this year’s lineup has something for everyone—and the energy? Absolutely electric.
Set to take place from July 25 to 29 , the festival turns the scenic, expansive Churchill Park into a buzzing cultural hub. The vibe is laid-back but vibrant, with thousands of people soaking in live music, local flavors, and community spirit under the open sky. And let’s talk about the lineup—because this year, it’s stacked.
Kicking things off on Friday, July 25 , we’ve got legendary British rockers Def Leppard bringing their iconic sound to the stage. We’re talking timeless hits like Pour Some Sugar on Me and Photograph —songs that will have the entire park singing along. Canadian staples Sam Roberts Band and Honeymoon Suite are opening for them, which means we’re in for a full-on rock celebration.

Then on Saturday , it’s time to switch gears as Blake Shelton , one of country music’s biggest stars—and a familiar face from The Voice —takes the spotlight. Dust off those cowboy boots because it’s going to be a full-blown country party. Opening for him is rising star MacKenzie Porter , with more acts still to be revealed.
But wait—it gets even better. Gwen Stefani is confirmed to headline the Sunday night show , and I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to sing along to Hollaback Girl and Don’t Speak at the top of my lungs. Gwen brings that perfect mix of nostalgia, energy, and pop power that’ll have everyone moving. And let’s not forget Tuesday night’s grand finale: The Killers . Mr. Brightside live in the heart of St. John’s? Yes, please! They’ll be joined by The Beaches , Matt Mays , and local favorites Nick Earle & The Restless Hearts , bringing serious indie rock flair to close out the festival.
But this event isn’t just about the music—it’s a full-on community experience. Picture local food trucks with everything from gourmet poutine to vegan delights, artisan vendors showcasing Newfoundland crafts, and plenty of family-friendly activities like face painting and musical workshops for the kids. It’s the kind of event where you can make a whole day (or week!) of it, whether you’re dancing by the stage, discovering local art, or relaxing on the grass with friends and family.
Beyond entertainment, the Churchill Park Music Festival plays a key role in supporting the local economy. Last year, it drew over 10,000 attendees, and 2025 is expected to break records again with even more buzz and community involvement. It’s a win for local artists, small businesses, and anyone who loves the magic of live music in a shared space.
So if you’re in or around St. John’s this July, don’t miss it. The Churchill Park Music Festival isn’t just a concert—it’s a celebration. A celebration of music, culture, community, and summer itself. See you at the park!
