UK’s heaviest metal festival, Bloodstock, returns 7-10th August 2025 at Catton Park, Derbyshire. As always, the line-up is packed and will appease all metalheads with its variety and mix of huge and upcoming bands. With headliners Trivium, Machine Head, and Gojira, the festival is nearly sold out, with Saturday and Sunday completely sold out, and Friday tickets are low. The 2025 edition is going to be a big one! Here are just some of the bands we are excited to see and recommend that you check out over the UK’s heaviest weekend!
