Alice Pisano Set to Dazzle at CarFest 2025’s Wigwam Stage

Rising pop sensation Alice Pisano is gearing up for an unforgettable performance at CarFest 2025, the UK’s largest family fundraising festival, taking place over the August Bank Holiday weekend at Laverstoke Park Farm, Hampshire. Pisano will take to the Wigwam Stage at The BarFest Arms on Friday, August 22nd, delivering her signature blend of emotionally charged anthems and captivating live energy.

As one of the most exciting emerging artists on the UK pop scene, Pisano has been making waves with her heartfelt storytelling and effortlessly catchy melodies. Originally from Italy and now based in London, she has amassed millions of streams across platforms, gaining critical acclaim for her 2023 EP Shattered But Still Cool. The record saw its singles land on major Spotify playlists such as Global Fresh Finds and New Pop UK, while also securing regular airplay on BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop Show. Her breakout hit Boys Like You, a witty take on dating apps, became a fan favourite on BBC Radio Wales, and her latest release, Not The Same, marked her fourth single to feature on BBC Radio 1’s coveted Future Pop Show.

With praise from industry tastemakers including METAL Magazine, Clash, Wonderland, and Atwood Magazine, Pisano’s rise has been nothing short of impressive. Her debut single Celebrate Life has now surpassed four million streams, and her music has gone viral on TikTok, further cementing her status as a true artist to watch. She has also collaborated with some of the most respected producers in the industry, including Jez Ashurst, known for his work with Maisie Peters and Little Mix, Ian Barter, who has produced for Izzy Bizu and Cloves, and Troy Miller, who has worked with Emeli Sandé and Jamie Cullum. 

Her performance at CarFest’s Wigwam Stage promises to be a standout moment of the festival, offering fans the chance to experience her emotive songwriting and soaring vocals in the intimate and electric setting of The BarFest Arms. Hosted by Timothy Taylor’s, the festival’s much-loved pub setting pairs great live music with award-winning ales, including their celebrated pale ale, Hopical Storm, alongside a wide selection of lagers, wines, spirits, and soft drinks. Festival-goers can relax, enjoy a drink, and witness some of the UK’s most exciting up-and-coming musical talent in a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

Now in its fifteenth year, CarFest 2025, founded by Virgin Radio presenter Chris Evans, continues to offer far more than just cars. The festival brings together six distinct experiences in one, including FoodFest for culinary enthusiasts, KidsFest for family-friendly fun, RetroFest for all things vintage, SpaFest for wellness and relaxation, StarFest featuring celebrity guests and expert talks, and, of course, CarFest itself for high-speed thrills and breathtaking car displays.

Beyond its entertainment value, CarFest remains dedicated to its core mission of raising funds for UK children’s charities.

The 2025 edition will continue to support vital causes, including BBC Children in Need, Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity, Starlight Children’s Foundation, Teenage Cancer Trust, Young Epilepsy, and the local Hampshire hospice Naomi House & Jacksplace.

With an unbeatable lineup of live music, family-friendly entertainment, and an unwavering commitment to charitable giving, CarFest 2025 promises to be one of the summer’s most unmissable events.
