Hozier BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle and other Bay Area outlets, Hozier’s most consequential development in the past few days is his confirmation as a major act on the 2025 Outside Lands festival lineup in Golden Gate Park, sharing top billing on a bill that also features Tyler The Creator, Doechii, Laufey and others, cementing his status as a crossover headliner in the U.S. festival economy rather than a niche alt folk act. The announcement stories highlight his evolution from Take Me To Church breakthrough to politically tinged arena draw, and these bookings will likely become key lines in future biographies as a marker of his post Unreal Unearth peak.
Meanwhile, Austin City Limits Radio and rock press in Texas report that Hozier is also locked in as a 2025 headliner at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Zilker Park, appearing alongside Sabrina Carpenter, Luke Combs, Doja Cat, The Strokes and Feid. That double top line, Outside Lands on the West Coast and ACL in the Southwest, positions him as a reliable festival anchor act across genres and regions, a business move that signals strong live demand and ongoing leverage with promoters.
On the critical side, Americana Highways’ year end overview of 2025 music trends notes Hozier as a key guest voice on Mavis Staples’ album Sad and Beautiful World, framing him less as a pop tourist and more as part of a serious Americana and social gospel lineage. That kind of placement, in a legacy artist’s canon late in her career, could have longer term reputational weight than any one TikTok hit.
In rock industry commentary, the site Saving Country Music name checks Hozier in a broader critique of how streaming has blurred the boundaries of rock and pop, folding him into a conversation about genre drift and algorithm driven playlists. It is more cultural context than concrete news, but it underlines how often his name now surfaces when critics argue about what rock even is.
Socially, fan accounts on X and Instagram have been amplifying the twin festival headlines and recycling recent live clips, but there are no verified new albums, scandals, or significant personal life revelations being reported by major outlets in the last few days. Any chatter about surprise releases or unannounced collaborations remains pure fan speculation at this point, with no confirmation from Hozier or his label.
