Crossed Wires today confirms further headline acts Dish from Waitrose, Tailenders and We Need To Talk with Paul C. Brunson will each take over the Crucible Theatre between 4th-6th July 2025.
Crossed Wires brings the biggest names in podcasting to Sheffield for a weekend of live shows, never-seen-before performances, special guests, DJ sets, Q&As and fan events.
On Friday 4th July Dish from Waitrose Live will serve up deliciously good conversation, mouth-watering food tips and a hearty helping of fun. Enjoy an unforgettable night with broadcasting powerhouse Nick Grimshaw and Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett OBE presenting their award-winning foodie podcast, previously dining with guests including Dua Lipa, Florence Pugh and Tom Holland.
Saturday 5th July will be a lesson in love with matchmaking icon Paul C. Brunson's We Need To Talk. Prepare for game-changing advice from the relationships expert of Married At First Sight and Celebs Go Dating along with exciting experts and familiar faces.
Tailenders' live show on Sunday 6th July will bowl audiences over with laugh out loud comedy and cricket-specifics, from BBC Radio 1's beloved Greg James, cricketing legend Sir Jimmy Anderson and ex-The Maccabees guitarist Felix White.
The festival has also revealed more of the wider lineup coming to Sheffield’s city centre: Richard Herring's RHLSTP, Secret Mum Club, Drunk Women Solving Crime, On The Sofa and Not The Top 20.
The eight new shows are set to follow the footsteps of Help I Sexted My Boss who have already sold out Sheffield’s City Hall – and bonafide cultural phenomenon No Such Thing As A Fish.
The festival's second year promises to be even bigger and better with Greg James (Host BBC R1 Breakfast, Co-host Tailenders) announced as Creative Director to join co-founders Alice Levine (Co-host My Dad Wrote A Porno and British Scandal), Dino Sofos (Founder and CEO, Persephonica) and James O'Hara (Co-founder, Tramlines and Day Fever).
Tickets available from 11am at CrossedWires.Live
