Fortress Festival announce four new bands

Four new bands have been announced for next year’s Fortress Festival!

Following September’s announcement, which saw the likes of FENCRIMSON THRONEAUTUMN NOSTALGIE and more confirmed, now, the final four bands have been announced for next year’s black metal festival in Scarborough.

After having to withdraw from 2024’s festival at the eleventh hour, Swedish black metal/crust outfit DÖDSRIT will finally make their UK debut at next year’s event.

Additionally, 2025’s festival will see the seated theatre stage transform into a candlelit atmospheric escape on the  Saturday (May 31st) for attendees seeking something different in their music. DARKHER, a haunting trip through the mind and spirit of founding member Jayn Maiven; OSI AND THE JUPITER, a neo-folk project from Ohio, United States, consisting of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Sean Kratz; and a returning SYLVAINE, the solo project of Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Kathrine Shepard, all make up the bill for the new stage in 2025.
