Nottingham’s Mangata Festival has dropped the second wave of bands for their 2025 edition. After a sell-out success in 2024, the festival returns with an even bigger lineup, spanning five stages across three venues, cementing its status as a must-attend event for fans of Heavy and Extreme Metal.
The latest announcement completes the festival’s headliner roster, confirming The Raven Age as the final addition to Rescue Rooms, alongside Nottingham’s own The Five Hundred and Black Metal heavyweights The Infernal Sea.
Elsewhere, the lineup expansion sees returning acts and rising forces from the UK underground, including:
- The Red Room Stage: Nottingham’s Outergods and Godeth return after their 2024 performances.
- Ghost Stage: A furious mix of Metalcore and Deathcore from Swarm6ix, Waterlines, She Must Burn, and Defences.
- Tap n Tumbler Stage: Underground brutality with Paradise Sins, Moon Reaper, Lavire, and Overthrone.
- Liquid Library Stage: Ante-Inferno leads the charge, joined by Abduction, Damn Craters, Devastator, and Wolven Crown.
