Hordes X 2025..
..YOU WERE FANTASTIC!!!

A huge thanks is due to all of you for turning out for a weekend of heavy music! Your support, from start to finish, truly made this one to remember! Without you, none of this would be possible!

Further appreciation goes to our partners and crew, as well as the techs and staff at Hidden Dundee and Music Hall Dundee; it's a slog of a shift, and you really did yourselves proud! Every single one of you was an essential part of making the whole thing work!

And the bands...

That was simply an amazing round of performances, from the very first opener, to the ultimate headline set! If you couldn't make it this year, get online and check out every single one!
