Today at Bloodstock 2025: Set times, stage splits and weather forecast for Catton Hall today

• Bloodstock Open Air kicks off its first full day of performances later today.
• This evening sees Trivium perform as the first headliner this weekend, with a cornucopia of cacophony also on offer.
• Here are your set times and stage splits for today, along with a look at the weather and pollen count at Catton Hall.

Good morning campers - it’s the first full day at Bloodstock Open Air, with your first headliner set to take to the stage just after 9pm, and a whole lot more taking place before Trivium hit the main stage (9:10pm).

Your entertainment today comes from not only Matt Heafy and crew, but there are performances from Lacuna Coil (5:15pm, Main Stage), Max Cavalera’s Nailbomb project (8pm, Sophie Lancaster Stage), Orange Goblin (4:05pm, Main Stage) and many more.

Which is why we’ve provided you with a complete list of today’s performances at the festival, so you don’t miss a single moment, or at least, can try and avoid the dreaded set clashes among some of your favourite metal artists.

We’ve also taken a look at the weather forecast at Catton Hall today; is it a day for a jacket, or will the sun come out, therefore the guns will also come out? We’ve also got you hay fever sufferers covered with a look at the pollen count in the area today.
