Description

One of Cornwall’s most high-octane music festivals takes place at Scorrier House on the edge of Redruth between Friday, May 29, and Sunday, May 31, 2025. The most ‘rambunctious garden fete’ in Europe, better known as The Great Estate 2025, is set to be another absolute classic in the heart of Cornwall.

Music is at the core of The Great Estate, and this year’s lineup delivered on every front. Friday night kicked off with Madchester icons Happy Mondays, with Shaun Ryder and Bez energizing the crowd. Saturday’s main stage belonged to Supergrass, who celebrated their debut album “I Should Coco” with a set full of Britpop anthems and a moving guest appearance by Shane Hawkins, son of the late Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins.

Sunday night saw electronic pioneers Leftfield close the festival with a powerful performance, cementing their status as one of the UK’s most influential live acts. The weekend also featured standout sets from The Alive (including a thrilling drum battle featuring Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins’ son Shane Hawkins), Charlie Boon, Jaguar Skills, and a host of emerging local talent.
