Rabidfest 2025: 3rd Wave of bands announced!

“Go ahead and get it off your chest, With what you may survive, Now give it, Nothing’s what it seems, Unlucky 13” ~ Devildriver

Thirteen might be unlucky for some but not for Rabidfest. Oh no. They embrace it because luck is just a matter of being at the right place at the right time. They’ve announced a third wave of bands to add to this years line up, an additional six to take their total to thirteen of twenty. How do we know? Because Oxfords finest Metal Weekender is a two day affair, taking place at The Bullingdon over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd November 2025 with no less than ten bands appearing each day. That of course means there are another seven bands to be announced… and having witnessed both Raised By Owls and Raging Speedhorn once already this year, we can tell you that you’re in for a treat! Oh and in case you were wondering, our breaking down the band series for this year starts Wednesday 11th June.

Here’s the line up so far…

Raging Speedhorn (Saturday headliner)
Red Method (Sunday headliner)
Seething Akira
Kill II This
Arimea
Break Them
Collapser
Raised By Owls
Korrupto
Lethal Evil
Aei-Fierlen
R.P.C
Mondegreen
