THRASHCHESTER 2025 FULL LINEUP
We have been sitting on this too long but the time is here. The complete 2025 Thrashchester lineup.
Our opening band Bloodsaw is a local band that will be looking to grow in 2025 after a huge 2024. Having supported the like of Shrapnel. We are delighted to have them on
Our next band Leader Band again is a local Manchester band that played only a handful of shows in 2024 but we know they will out on the road more in 2025. Our first 2 bands are ones to definitely keep an eye on
Our next band Crucible Band are again young with bags of protection. Having won M2TM Coventry in 2024 these guys come with big hype from lots of people in the industry
Up next is young South Wales thrashers Exaust. Having worked with them recently on a show in Oldham. These young whipped snappers come with a raw boisterous energy which mixes thrash and death metal
Our next band Crusaders UK is a band that we were inundated to book by so many people after their slot at SOS Festival. We listened and went and booked the Glaswegian thrashers. These guys are absolutely immense live.
Up next we have Lincolnshire based thrashers Mörti Viventi. Again a band we have been pestered to book but dates just didn’t work on previous Thrashchesters despite always wanting to work with them.
Next we have another Scottis band. Catalysis are Dundee based and having won M2TM Dundee back in 2022 they come with huge hype. With their mix of thrash and a stomping groove. We cannot wait to get the boys back to Manchester. Anyone who follows M2TM Manchester would have seen these guys play the final last year as a guest band. It was nothing short of a phenomenal set.
Our next band Struck A Nerve is a band that many of you will know. Having recently supported Solitary at the The Peer Hat in Manchester. The Norwich based super group is half of the amazing Shrapnel. You will see these hitting the road a lot in 2025 and beyond.
Up next we have another South Wales based band. Helldown. The Welsh thrashers got to the final of M2TM South Wales in 2023. Described a a mix of NWOBTM and with a hint of groove. This will be the first time working with these guys and we cannot wait.
Next up we have Devils Henchemen. Hailing from Liverpool, this four-piece thrash-crossover juggernaut has been crushing stages since 2015 with a ferocious blend of thrash riffs and hardcore punk aggression. Their short, punchy anthems are made to ignite pits — and if you saw them at Bloodstock Festival in 2023, you know they’re the real deal. (Yep, they won Merseyside’s Metal 2 the Masses and absolutely owned the New Blood Stage.)
Our next band is Belfast based thrashers Acid Age. These guys were already on our radar thanks to James Loveday from The Distortion Project. If you were fortunate enough to see their Bloodstock set then you would have witnessed absolute magic. Their blend of psychedelic jazz infused thrash was a welcomed addition to Bloodstock as they are to Thrashchester. We are so hyped to get these guys into Manchester.
Our Main Support. We are delighted to welcome Devastator to 0161 mumc Thrashchester. The Derby based blackened thrashers have one of the most impressive career trajectories on the underground scene. Their latest album ‘Conjurers of Cruelty’ is hitting insane numbers on all streaming platforms. If you’ve attended Thrashchester in the past. You may have seen them on our 2022 lineup. Since then the band have skyrocketed. We are extremely happy to them back.
Our headliners as you already know is the iconic. The legendary Lawnmower Deth. I mean to have a band of this calibre play a festival that is barely off the ground us something else for us. Year in year out we are constantly looking to improve and grow as a festival. It not easy when you’re basing your lineup around one sub genre of metal. However we strive to keep moving forward and having booked a band that are known worldwide is an absolute huge.
We want to thank everyone who has already bought tickets. You saw one band. Granted it’s an iconic band and you put the trust in us. We cannot thank you enough.
Big shout out to Pedley Art for what is one hell of a poster. Again that man is a magician and constantly looks to come up with something new for us every year. We also have sexy new t shirts and vests. We will announce them over the next few days. We will let you all absorb the lineup first.
Grab your tickets fast. Last years sold out yet again and we know this years will. The question is just how quickly will it do so?
