Bloodstock Open Air 2025 continues its legacy as the heart and soul of British heavy music, set in the scenic grounds of Catton Park, Derbyshire. With a powerful mix of iconic headliners and exciting newcomers, this year's festival, scheduled for 7th to 10th August, promises a vibrant celebration of all things metal.

Christian Löffler’s live performance really encapsulates the calmness and beauty that can be found in ambient and progressive house music, whilst also bringing his own unique sound.

It was impossible to not sway to the beat like the rest of the crowd.

Concert films are reshaping the music industry, offering artists new ways to reach audiences.

This trend brings both opportunity and challenge, especially for emerging artists facing high production costs and rising expectations.

The UK festival season is rapidly approaching, and with the weather picking up, we’re getting ourselves ready for an absolute belter of festivals this year. Sure, the big names will always pull the headlines, but we’re here for the acts bubbling under — the ones playing tucked-away tents and early-afternoon slots, bringing the real magic.

Truck Festival may be smaller than the likes of Glastonbury, but it packs in huge heart and character. This beloved Oxfordshire weekender has a grassroots, village fate vibe that’s truly one-of-a-kind. It’s big and varied enough to never get boring, yet intimate enough to feel friendly rather than overwhelming. Year after year, its easy-going atmosphere and all-ages crowd make Truck feel like a proper summer staple for UK indie fans.

It’s 2025, and on any given night in Britain you might wander into a backroom pub or tiny club and catch the next big thing – if that venue is still open. Our grassroots music venues – those small, beloved stages where countless artists play their first gigs – are facing an unprecedented crisis.
