The countdown is on! On Saturday 10 May 2025, the Big Summer Kick-Off returns to Allianz Stadium, Twickenham for a fourth year of top-tier rugby, festival fun, and big-name music. Whether you’re a die-hard Harlequins supporter or just looking for an unforgettable day out with family and friends, here are five reasons not to miss it.

1. Watch Premiership Rugby at Its Best

This year’s headline match sees Harlequins Men take on Gloucester Rugby in a crucial Gallagher Premiership clash. With both teams in the race for a top-four finish, you can expect fast-paced, high-stakes action featuring some of England’s brightest rugby talents — think Marcus Smith, Fin Baxter, and Chandler Cunningham-South.

2. Family-Friendly Festival Vibes

It’s more than just rugby. The West Fan Village will be buzzing all day with free rides, inflatable games, face painting, Harlequins mascots, and loads more. Whether you’ve got toddlers or teenagers in tow, there’s something to keep everyone entertained.

3. Feeder Headlining the Main Stage

Following in the footsteps of previous acts like Jess Glynne and Kaiser Chiefs, multi-platinum rock band Feeder will bring the stadium to life with a set packed with classics. And if that’s not enough, stick around after the match for a mass singalong with Massaoke, bringing big tunes and even bigger energy.

4. Celebrate Pride and Inclusivity

Pride Corner is back for 2025 — a vibrant space dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. It was a huge hit at Big Game 16, and it’s expected to be just as popular this time around. Harlequins continues to lead the way when it comes to championing diversity and inclusion in rugby.

5. Soak Up the Pre- and Post-Match Atmosphere

Make a day of it! Head to The Stoop before and after the match for open bars, good vibes, and the famous player walk-over. It’s a chance to get closer to your favourite stars and enjoy a pint (or two) in true rugby fashion.
