Troon’s seaside may be cold in November, but WinterStorm is once again turning the Ayrshire coast into the hottest spot in Scotland for rock and metal! From 27–29 November 2025, the legendary WinterStorm Festival returns with a monster lineup that’s already got fans buzzing louder than a Marshall stack on full tilt.

And here’s the kicker — the organisers have revealed that less than 100 tickets remain for each night! So, if you’ve not grabbed yours yet… what are you waiting for, butt? 🏃‍♂️💨

🎸 2025 LINEUP – AN ABSOLUTE RIFF FEAST

Check out this year’s line-up — it’s proper tasty:

- Ugly Kid Joe – still bringing that 90s swagger!

- Sweet – glam rock royalty ready to stomp.

- British Lion – Steve Harris’ side project prowls into Scotland.

- The Skids – Scottish punk legends with attitude to spare.

- The Raven Age – melodic metal that soars higher than ever.

- High Fade, Kingdom of Madness, Praying Mantis, Demon, Pat McManus Band, Scarlet Rebels, These Wicked Rivers, Collateral, Wytch Hazel, Vision Divine, Victory or Die, Powell Payne, and GuitarHeads all ready to shake the foundations of Troon.

Plus a stacked undercard including Airforce, Angel Eyes, Baphomet, Gypsy’s Kiss, Sweet Electric, Too Hot to Handle, and loads more emerging acts keeping the WinterStorm spirit alive and thrashing!

🎤 HOSTED BY LEGENDS

The festival will be compered by Tom Russell and Pete K Mally, who’ll no doubt keep the banter flowing as freely as the pints. 🍻

🏖️ SCOTLAND’S COASTAL HAVEN OF HEAVY METAL

Set against the stunning Ayrshire coastline, WinterStorm is as much about community and atmosphere as it is about riffs and decibels. Expect top-tier sound, hearty local food, and that unmistakable camaraderie that makes this one of the UK’s most beloved indoor rock festivals.

⚡TICKETS ARE ALMOST GONE!

There’s less than 100 tickets left per night, so if you fancy one final end-of-year blowout before the mince pies take over — grab your mates, pack your battle jackets, and get yourselves to Troon.
