After a blockbuster 2024, which welcomed the likes of BEHEMOTH, MAYHEM, VENOM, WATAIN, ENSLAVED and more to Bergen, Norway, now, the first eight bands for 2025’s festival have been revealed!

Leading the charge in the new announcement is KING DIAMOND, ABBATH DOOM OCCULTA – who will bring his Return To The Raven Realms Tour to Bergen for the first time – and TRIPTYKON performing a set of CELTIC FROST classics.

Also confirmed for next year’s festival is German thrashers DESTRUCTION, I AM MORBID, HELLBUTCHER, HELLRIPPER and DARK SONORITY.

Speaking about the first announcement, festival booker Torgrim Øyre says, “for the first time in 19 years, KING DIAMOND will return to Norway with his fantastic horror infused heavy metal spectacle. The King will grant us with a show second to none. The Saint Lucifer’s Hospital Tour has been wreaking havoc in the US lately and we can’t wait until it arrives at these shores.”
