The horns go up tonight as BLOODSTOCK and TRIVIUM unleash the professionally filmed premiere of the full TRIVIUM headline set from BLOODSTOCK 2025.
Long hailed as Britain’s fiercest independent metal gathering – a pilgrimage for die-hards, riff worshippers and circle-pit lifers alike – BLOODSTOCK has built its reputation on moments that become legend. This is one of them! Florida’s modern metal standard-bearers arrived in full command: razor-tight, arena-sized, and utterly fearless.
TRIVIUM’s career-spanning set was packed with deep cuts, fan favourites, surprise special guests, and iconic moments, including the live debut of new track “Bury Me With My Screams”, making this 90-minute, 18-song performance an essential watch for TRIVIUM fans and metalheads alike.
Stream it at 7pm GMT tonight on the festival’s official YouTube channel here:
Critics instantly recognised the performance as historic. Metal Hammer praised the spectacle and scale, noting that guest appearances from Machine Head’s Robb Flynn, Ihsahn from Emperor, Sleep Token guitarist III and Malevolence’s Josh Baines added “extra star power” to an “anthem-stuffed headline set” packed with classics, covers of songs by Black Sabbath and Metallica, and enough flames and explosions to seal its status as “another legend-worthy gig.”
It was obvious this was something special. Kerrang! commented that although the band first headlined BLOODSTOCK in 2015, this show “blows that out of the water in terms of unbridled confidence and understanding of exactly who they are,” while Rock Sound hailed the set as “a celebration of metal itself… A true all-time classic.” Even The Guardian, awarding the 2025 event a full five stars, singled out the set as “a proud celebration of all things metal.”
