Love Supreme adds huge names to the 2025 line up

Posted by Steve Clements

Love Supreme Festival has announced that the 2025 line up will include the first UK show in 15 years from Motown legend Smokey Robinson, 20 million-selling US R&B group En Vogue (whose hits include the huge singles Don’t Let Go and Free Your Mind), and funk and rock trailblazers WAR (who will next year celebrate 50 years since the release of their smash hit song Low Rider).

One of the most influential figures in music history, Robinson was frontman and songwriter for Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, a group responsible for a raft of timeless hit songs including Tears of a Clown, I Second That Emotion, Tracks Of My Tears and You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me. He released numerous hit songs as a solo artist such as Being With You and Cruisin’ and during a career that has spanned over six decades has also written countless hits for other artists including The Way You Do (the Things You Do) and My Girl for the Temptations, Ain’t That Peculiar for Marvin Gaye, and My Guy for Mary Wells to name a few.

Next summer’s Love Supreme Festival will provide a rare opportunity for UK fans to see a performance from a true legend of modern music and an artist regularly referred to as the King of Motown.

Also announced are soul revivalists Thee Sacred Souls, US saxophone virtuoso Branford Marsalis, Chicago singer and poet Jamila Woods, jazz fusion pioneer and four-time Grammy-winning bassist Stanley Clarke, retro-soul torchbearers Durand Jones & The Indications, the ethereal Grammy-winning Pakistani-American singer Arooj Aftab, and 5x Grammy-nominated US saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin.

The festival previously announced that triple Grammy-winning soul star Maxwell will headline on Sunday night for what will be his first UK appearance for ​9 years and his only UK show of the year.

The Love Supreme Jazz Festival returns to Glynde Place in East Sussex from Friday July 4th to Sunday July 6th 2025.

More acts will be announced in due course, check back for more details.

Early Bird Tickets start at £72 (day, weekend, camping and Supremium tickets are available) and are on sale now from the website here.
