Now… On to the bands.

RAISED BY OWLS

From the darkest depths of Derbyshire dwell the ever-trending extreme metal outfit Raised By Owls. With a recent catalogue of blistering performances on some of the UK’s largest stages, and a propensity for comedic chaos whenever given the opportunity, we cannot wait for the scene’s most must-see exports to bless the Devolution Stage on the Saturday 1 November.

KORRUPTO

Pure grindcore aggression. Securing their Saturday slot are the mighty Korrupto. Korrupto have raised the bar as a pillar in the Oxfordshire music scene in recent years, with their unique brand of no holds barred brutality. And we cannot wait to welcome them to their debut set at Rabidfest 2025 this November.

Lethal Evil

Emerging from the London Death Metal scene are Lethal Evil. Hot off a killer 2024 with performances at packed houses across the UK, and the release of latest single ‘Lone Wolf’ in April - 2025 is already shaping up to be a hallmark year for the Death Metal trio. And that journey will bring them to the Devolution Stage on Sunday at Rabidfest 2025.

ÆI FIERLEN

Ethereal. Emotive. Entrancing. Post Black Metal quartet AEI Fierlen stake their claim with a Sunday slot at Rabidfest 2025. ÆI Fierlen have brought mesmerising sets to stages across the UK, including a series of impressive performances at the Norwich Metal 2 The Masses shows. We cannot wait for their upcoming ritual on the Devolution Stage at Rabidfest this November.

RPC

Securing the opening slot on the Saturday of Rabidfest 2025 are UK-based Irish crossover thrash outfit R.P.C. After a series of blistering performances during the 2024 Metal 2 The Masses Oxford shows, we cannot wait for their return to an Oxford stage this November.

MONDEGREEN

Oxfordshire’s own nu-metallers Mondegreen secure the opening slot on the Sunday of Rabidfest 2025. Making waves across Oxford venues since their inception in 2023, Mondegreen have grown from strength-to-strength to become one of the scenes most ‘impossible to ignore’ acts. We can’t wait for them to open the Sunday in style.

And with an already packed line-up, featuring headline performances from Raging Speedhorn, Red Method, Kill II This, Seething Akira, Arimea, Collapser and Break Them - this is shaping up to be Oxford’s must-see event of November.

For the third consecutive year, proceeds of Rabidfest will be donated to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation. We’re tremendously proud to once again be supporting such a great initiative that impacts so many within the metal and alt communities.

Rabidfest would not be possible without the support of our endorsers and partners; including  Devolution Magazine, whose continued advocacy of Rabidfest has been instrumental in our growth over the years. A huge shoutout to Red Death Media, Blackstar Amplification, Moomin Merchandise, Metalplanetmusic, Moshville Times, Moshville Radio, MetalNoise.net, GraphicsFix and TwoFace Promotions.

The countdown starts now. Grab your tickets here: www.rabidfest.co.uk/tickets
