Rabidfest 2025: 2nd Wave of bands announced!

While we were having some fun at Metal Noise HQ throwing around possible names for bands that could play this year’s incarnation of Oxford’s finest Metal Weekender Rabidfest with a “5 Possibilities” article this past weekend, the organisers have been putting together an actual line up. They’ve announced a second wave of five bands to add to the Sunday headliner Red Method with the event, as ever, taking place at The Bullingdon this time over the weekend of 1st and 2nd November.

Here’s the line up so far…

Red Method
Seething Akira
Kill II This
Arimea
Break Them
Collapser

We’re proud to be a Media Partner of Rabidfest again this year alongside Red Death Media, Moomin Merchandise, Moshville Times, Moshville Radio, Metalplanetmusic, GraphicsFix, TwoFace Promotions, Blackstar Amplification and main stage sponsor Devolution Magazine. The Festival is all for charity and this year the profits will be going to the The Sophie Lancaster Foundation!

Rabidfest will take place at The Bullingdon in Oxford over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd November 2025:
