Bloodstock 2025: Set times and stage clashes ahead of this year's festival
Who will you have to sacrifice in order to see your favourite bands at Bloodstock Open Air this year?
- Your set times have been revealed by Bloodstock Open Air 2025.
- This year’s festival is set to be headlined by Trivium, Machine Head and Gojira.
- Here’s what time your favourite acts are performing across the festival site this year and who is set to clash with who.
It’s just over a week until Catton Hall comes alive with the heavy sound of music, as Bloodstock Open Air invites metal fans to congregate and commune with one another for another year.
Headlined this year by Trivium, Machine Head, and Gojira, there is a bit of nostalgia this year, as we previously discovered, with the likes of Fear Factory, Nailbomb, Static-X, and Obituary set to perform across the smaller stages throughout the four-day event.
While organisers have released the set times (as of writing) ahead of next week’s metal festival in Derbyshire, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to find out what time some of the biggest names in metal are performing, and who is set to clash with whom. Will you get to take in an entire main stage set if you’re planning on seeing Static-X over the weekend, or will you have to skip Ministry in order to see Thrashist Regime?
Here’s your set times for Bloodstock 2025 and those all-important stage clashes to help you make your decisions before the eleventh-hour.
