Right, now onto the bands!
Firstly, due to unforeseen circumstances beyond anyone’s control, Footprints In The Custard are not able to return to the 2021 lineup, but do not fear, for we will be announcing a replacement imminently. We mourn this tragic loss but we also have a feeling we may see them again one day ;) 🔥
Our first band to re-announce is our SUNDAY HEADLINER!! Hailing from Tyneside, this band have been on the circuit for nearly 10 years and have never missed a beat. Combining brutal deathcore with pure filth, their sound is one of this country’s heaviest bands and not to be missed! Please make some noise for Osiah 🔥
Supporting Osiah on Sunday evening and having played last year’s event where they pulled off a blinding set is Bloodshot. They’ve had a lineup change since then and are now ready to show Oxford what they can do. Please welcome back one of Oxford’s heaviest bands! 🔥
Joining Osiah and Bloodshot are Oxfordshire’s own metalcore outfit Severed Tongues. We’re excited to see what Severed Tongues can bring to the Rabidfest party so don’t miss out! 🔥
Rabidfest Sunday this year is going to start the evening with a band that totally blew us away in the band applications - Odysseus. Odysseus really stood out amongst 350+ applications and we’re really excited to bring them to Oxford! 🔥
Next up are our Saturday opening band Sleeper 404. This young, technically gifted thrash band from Oxford have been impressing us for a few years now and we’re looking forward to seeing them take the stage at Rabidfest. 🔥
Our next band to re-confirm is another local band who have been making a lot of noise in a very short space of time. Arimea brings a unique blend of melodic metal and alternative sounds to the party which can’t be missed! 🔥
Next up is an Oxford favourite that has been around for many years. Please welcome back K-Lacura to Rabidfest. K-Lacura are an Oxford fan favourite - if you haven’t heard of them yet, where have you been? 🔥
The next band to re-confirm is Oxford’s M2TM Final Winners for 2019, The Hope Burden. The Hope Burden brings a brand of ambient post-metal to Oxford that is rarely seen locally. It is an absolute pleasure to welcome them back! 🔥
Our final band to re-announce today, is none other than Leicester blackened death metallers BLOOD OATH. They will be unleashing their face ripping riffs and blood stained cataclysm upon Oxford for the first time and we’re stoked to have them on the lineup! 🔥
Phew! That was a long one (HA!) We’re super excited to bring you this year’s event and we can’t wait until November! Tickets are on sale now for as little as £10 plus booking fee!!! To buy your ticket now, please go to https://www.wegottickets.com/f/12200
