Bloodstock announces Trivium, Machine Head and Gojira for 2025
Metal fest announces all headliners and 16 other acts
Fresh from this weekend’s triumphant event, Bloodstock has announced 19 acts for 2025, including all three headliners.
Trivium will headline the Ronnie James Dio main stage on the Friday night, with Machine Head on Saturday and Gojira bringing things to a conclusion on the Sunday.
Trivium’s Matt Heafy said: “We've always said that the UK is a second home to Trivium. It's where our band really took root way back in 2005 and our relationship with it has only grown deeper over time. Our headline set will span our entire 20 year history and we'll also celebrate 'Ascendancy' by bringing both the music and art to life.
“Bloodstock is the home of heavy metal in the UK and we're thrilled to once again be called upon to headline it along with two long time friends. We promise you this will be the biggest and best Trivium set you have ever seen!"
Machine Head’s Robb Flynn added: "We honestly couldn’t be more stoked about hitting the stage at one of our favourite festivals to play. Bloodstock will forever hold a special place in our blackened hearts after our, now legendary, not-so-secret-secret-show on the Sophie Lancaster Stage back in 2022."
Watch: Machine Head behind the scenes at Bloodstock 2022
He continued: “That show, which marked our return to the live arena post-pandemic, was one of the hottest, wildest and most intense shows we’ve ever played on UK shores and we now want to recreate that magic again, and take it even higher in August 2025. Bloodstock, get ready because Machine F---in’ Head is coming to town and we want to see all you Head Cases lose it! BEERS UP!"
And Joe Duplantier of Gojira rather more succinctly said: “We are psyched to play Bloodstock again next year! Hold on to your socks, it’s gonna be brutal!!!”
Watch: Gojira - 'Ah ! Ça Ira !' Live at the Paris Olympics
As well as the headliners, Bloodstock announced Me And That Man, Kataklysm, Static-X and Obituary as headliners of the Sophie Lancaster stage.
Also appearing across the weekend will be Emperor, Lacuna Coil, Orange Goblin, Creeper, Kublai Khan TX, The Black Dahlia Murder, Lord Of The Lost, August Burns Red, All For Metal, Breed 77, 3 Inches Of Blood and Feuerschwanz.
Phew!
Bloodstock 2025 will take place at Catton Park in Derbyshire on August 7 – 10.
Early Bird standard weekend tickets are available from today, with Serpents Lair VIP and Campervan tickets going on sale at 09:00 on 14th August.
