Ho ho ho! Let’s get the festive season into full swing with some more festival news. The weather might be getting colder, but BLOODSTOCK fever is hotting up, with day tickets now available plus today’s latest band announcement revealing the final bands joining the Sophie Lancaster stage in August 2025.
Fourteen more bands are lined up to make your festival weekend go with a bang. Handling Thursday’s opening night party duties with aplomb, will be high intensity deathcore beasts DEADFLESH from Hertfordshire, original BLOODSTOCK indoor alumnus FOURWAYKILL, and Belgium’s power trio GNOME.
BLOODSTOCK wants to find the hottest new metal talent to appear across festival weekend next August! With weekend tickets for BLOODSTOCK 2025 now sold out, festival HQ is getting cracking on this year’s instalment of the phenomenally successful Metal 2 The Masses (M2TM) scheme, to fill out the bands who’ll be appearing on the New Blood Stage, in conjunction with sponsor Timothy Taylor.
No other festival does more to support grass roots metal and local venues in the UK. BLOODSTOCK was honoured to be recognised for this at the Heavy Music Awards earlier this summer, taking home top accolade The H Award, for exceptional positive contribution to the heavy music scene by way of the M2TM initiative.
BLOODSTOCK is thrilled to announce that special guests on the Ronnie James Dio stage on Sunday will be…. wait for it…. none other than highly revered, four-headed metal behemoth MASTODON.
The group are just off the road in the USA with festival alumni pals LAMB OF GOD, dropping the collab track ‘Floods Of Triton’ to celebrate their co-headline Ashes Of Leviathan tour. You can check out a ‘making of’ interview here. Perhaps you caught MASTODON headlining BLOODSTOCK all the way back in 2016? Investigate the treasure trove of live tracks from that set on BLOODSTOCK’s YouTube at your leisure, including ‘High Road.’
Off the back of BLOODSTOCK’s first announcement of 19 bands for 2025, tickets have been flying out the door in record numbers. Adult standard weekend tickets are now sold out! A limited number of day tickets will be available in due course, once more bands have been announced. Missed out on the type of ticket you wanted?

Having announced nineteen bands – including the headliners – for 2025’s heavy metal extravaganza during this year’s event – BLOODSTOCK is delighted that fans are as thrilled with the line-up as festival HQ. The unprecedented demand has seen all adult early bird tickets sell out within 36 hours of going on sale, for the first time. All adult VIP tickets and campervan tickets then went on sale at 9am this Wednesday and promptly sold out just minutes later as well.
With 2024’s event already laying claim as one of the biggest and best BLOODSTOCK‘s ever, festival HQ have set the wheels in motion of 2025’s heavy metal juggernaut by announcing not one, not five, but nineteen bands for its hottest summer yet, including all headliners. BLOODSTOCK 2025 will take place at Catton Park, Derbyshire on 7th-10th August.
