Warwick Castle brings legendary live music back to its historic grounds this summer, with four consecutive evenings of exceptional open-air entertainment. The Castle’s picturesque Pageant Field will come to life in the last days of August, as icons Bryan Adams, Texas and Pet Shop Boys take to the stage. The weekend is rounded off with a family favourite film: Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone, screened with accompaniment from a live orchestra. With bars and food stalls on hand and on-site accommodation available - from glamping to deluxe rooms - this is an end-of-summer experience to remember...

Bryan Adams | Thursday 28 August
This year’s Warwick Castle Live series kicks off with Bryan Adams’ brand-new Roll With The Punches tour, which shares its laissez-faire name with his upcoming album, due to be released the following day. With a career lasting over four decades and hits like Summer Of 69 and (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, Bryan’s return to the spotlight won’t be coming to an end any time soon - his last tour stretched across three years and 16 countries! Catch his electrifying gig at Warwick Castle - which also features as special guest ex-Spice Girl Melanie C - to hear new hits alongside classic anthems.

Texas | Friday 29 August
After an acclaimed sell-out arena tour, Texas return to thrill the crowd, promising a showcase that features five decades of music. Fronted by singer & guitarist Sharleen Spiteri, the Glasgow band was formed in 1986 and has been causing a stir and regularly impacting the charts ever since, from 1989 debut single I Don’t Want A Lover, right through to latest album Hi, released in 2021.

Texas’ appearance at Warwick Castle is also the last gig of their 2025 tour, so jump on board for the summer’s grand finale. Heather Small supports.

Pet Shop Boys | Saturday 30 August
Pet Shop Boys are bringing their first-ever greatest hits show to Warwick Castle - and with support from Dave Pearce's Dance Anthems, it’s sure to be one big party!... The much-loved electro-pop duo have enjoyed 20-plus top-10 hits and earned plenty of accolades during the course of their illustrious career. Last year, Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live sold out a five-night residency at the Royal Opera House, so don’t miss the chance to hear West End Girls, It’s A Sin and a host of other fantastic songs from their back catalogue. 

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone | Sunday 31 August
As Warwick Castle Live draws to a close, enjoy a magical evening with a difference. CineConcerts presents a high-definition screening of the first film in the Harry Potter series - with its iconic soundtrack  performed live by a symphony orchestra. And as this is a picnic-style event, don’t forget your thermos and a camping chair!

Re-live the movie that enchanted the world, with music - composed by film-score giant John Williams - that’s every bit as memorable as the wand-waving antics of Harry, Ron and Hermione.
