Ice Rock Winterfest 2026 - The South West's First Heavy Metal Weekender!

For the very first time, Ice Rock Winterfest is crashing into the Bath & West Showground on Friday 6th & Saturday 7th February 2026, bringing two colossal days of pure heavy metal chaos.

The debut line-up is stacked:
Foo Fighters GB - Moretallica - Priest Unleashed - Sleep Broken - Audio Rage - Pretendulumn - Dirty DC - Megadeth UK - Ed Force One - Stiff Bizkit - Chop Suey - Slip-NOT - Sleepwalkers - Motorwrecked - Disturbed UK

That's 15 powerhouse bands, tearing up the stage with riffs, roars, and relentless energy. Witness the birth of the South West's ultimate metal weekender.

More than a festival, a full metal experience:

  • Comedy break-out on Saturday afternoon, for laughs as heavy as the riffs.
  • Indoor heated camping, forget freezing fields, crash in comfort after a full-throttle night.
  • After-hours mayhem, DJs spinning until 3am, a dedicated chill zone, and late-night bars to keep the party alive.

Expect:

  • Blistering performances
  • Epic sound & light shows
  • Roaring crowds
  • An atmosphere so electric it'll light up the Somerset skies

This is not just another festival; this is the birth of a new metal tradition. Whether you're a die-hard rocker or just here for the spectacle, Ice Rock Winterfest 2026 is where legends will rise, and winters will be conquered.

Don't miss the debut, tickets are limited, and once they're gone, they're gone.
