Mayhem Rock Festival is set to bring a huge wave of high energy rock to Nottingham on Saturday May 16, taking over The Nest for a full day of powerful live music featuring an international lineup of standout artists.
Headlined by H.E.A.T and Eclipse, the festival delivers a stacked bill that blends established names with rising talent across the rock and metal scene. Sweden’s H.E.A.T have built a global reputation for arena-ready melodic rock, with chart success, major tours and a catalogue of anthems that have cemented them as one of the leading names in modern AOR. Joining them, Eclipse bring their signature high-impact sound, combining massive hooks with world-class musicianship. With over 100 million streams and tours spanning multiple continents, they remain one of Europe’s most dominant melodic rock exports.
UK favourites South Of Salem continue their rapid rise with a horror-infused blend of heavy metal and sleaze, their latest album storming the UK Rock and Metal charts. Stockholm’s ToxicRose deliver dark, high energy sleaze metal with anthemic choruses and a striking visual identity, while Confess fuse punk attitude with melodic hard rock. Suicide Bombers bring their theatrical Oslo-bred sleaze rock to the stage, Trench Dogs channel classic rock, punk and glam into chaotic crowd-moving live shows, Smoking Snakes inject fresh energy with a modern take on 80s-inspired hard rock, and Wasted Wizards represent the next generation of Swedish rock, blending glam, grunge and classic influences.
For fans who can’t attend in person, the festival will also be available as a full livestream in partnership with Lounges TV, opening the event up to a global audience. Viewers will be able to watch the performances in real time from wherever they are. Eclipse will be performing exclusively for the in-person audience, making their set a unique part of the live experience in Nottingham.
Presented by Rock Vibes Nottingham and Born Again Concerts, Mayhem Rock Festival promises to capture the raw spirit of modern Scandinavian rock under one roof. Tickets are available now via Gigantic.
