Horned Legions Arise: one-day metal festival hits Hereford in support of HRRO

A new metal festival is set to take over Hereford on Saturday, 31 January 2026, bringing ten bands together for a single day of live music in aid of the Herefordshire Reuse and Recycling Organisation (HRRO). The event, titled Horned Legions Arise, will be held at The Victory (formerly The Jolly Roger) and runs from 2:00 pm to 11:30 pm.

The lineup features a mix of rising and established underground acts including Toledo Steel, Hanowar, Desolator, Arkham Witch, Koba, Mudlarker, Grave Altar, Kinstrife, Mount Slatra, and Bullhead. Expect a full spectrum of heavy metal styles from classic riff-driven anthems to doom, speed, and raw underground energy.

All proceeds will go directly to HRRO, supporting local sustainability and reuse initiatives. The day will also feature a charity raffle, merchandise stalls, and a full bar.

Tickets are priced at £10 and available now via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/horned-legions-arise-one-day-metal-festival-in-aid-of-hrro-tickets-1740113037939
