Crewe's free family-friendly live music festival returns to Queens Park this June, with a new park and ride shuttle service operating every 15 minutes from the town centre.

Following on from the success of 2024's Picnic in the Park event, Crewe Town Council, with the help and support of the Friends of Queens Park, is bringing live music back to the town again on Saturday 21 June.

Running from 12pm to 6pm, the line up has now been announced, with the following live bands performing on the day:

• Crewe Brass will start the musical performances (Outside the Taste for Life Café 12pm to 12.30pm)
• Shakermaker (Main Stage 12.30pm to 1.30pm) - an unforgettable, high-energy event band specialising in rock, pop and indie classics
• Acrylic (Main Stage 2pm to 3pm) - a local five-piece Indie cover band who rocked the Picnic in the Park last year and are making a much-anticipated return
• Vavoom (Main Stage 3.30pm to 4.30pm) - a three piece Rock n Roll band featuring thumpin' double bass, growling Gretsch guitar and powerhouse drums delivering a high octane set of classic rock 'n' roll guaranteed to get you dancing
• Teal (Main Stage 5pmto 6pm) - a cutting-edge, modern event band inspired by legendary icons of pop, soul and motown

Crewe Brass, Shakermaker, Acrylic, Vavoom and Teal will all perform at Picnic In The Park 2025 (Crewe Town Council).

Families are encouraged to bring their own picnics, or choose from the refreshments on offer at the event.
