With an ethos of ‘built by music fans, for music fans’, Stonedead has become a much loved and highly anticipated event in the yearly calendar, a true family that comes together to celebrate the self-same spirit that brought us the world-changing Monsters of Rock Festival. Whilst every year hears the sad demise of such events, Stonedead just keeps on growing but always keeps its eyes on the people who matter most: the ticket buyer. 

​The team at Stonedeaf Productions Ltd work miracles bringing together the very best event they can and it’s their passion and attention to detail that has seen this festival become one of the most respected by both bands and music business insiders. Stonedead will celebrate its fifth year of existence in 2023 and the line -up is the strongest and most diverse yet, mixing brilliant veteran bands with red-hot newcomers, all topped off by a genuinely legendary act known to millions all over the globe. With advance tickets selling out well in advance and Early Bird tickets for 2023 selling out in record time even before the line-up has been announced, it’s looking like a very special year.

Giving something for everyone, Stonedead are proud to reveal the bands booked to appear for their 2023 event and with two more acts to be confirmed, including the winners of the opening poll, it’s looking like an absolute monster.

Headlining the show, giants of rock Blue Öyster Cult will be proving why they're pne of the most influential bands on the planet. Best known for the track that made them a household name, the ubiquitous ‘(Don’t Fear) The Reaper’, the quintet have enjoyed a five-decade career that has seen them selling out stadiums and producing fifteen thrilling albums from their eponymous debut to the most recent smash ‘The Symbol Remains’. Critically acclaimed and adored by music lovers all over the globe, Blue Öyster Cult never fail to deliver a show like no other with hits including ‘Godzilla’, ‘Burning for You’ and ‘Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll’ .

Joining them, is a pair of the finest bands ever to come from Northern Ireland in the form of Therapy? and The Answer. Punk metallers Therapy? have been laying waste to audiences and breaking down barriers for thirty -three years now, and have just celebrated their much-delayed 'So Much for the Thirty Year Plan' anniversary run. With the multi-million selling ‘Troublegum’ the band broke through into the public consciousness and has stayed there ever since.

Taking a different musical route, The Answer are soaked in a bluesy hard rock that takes all the best elements of the classic bands of the 70’s and brings them together in an irresistible package that burns with a passionate soul. Having shared stages with the likes of Whitesnake, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and The Who, it was the dream come true of being asked to open for AC/DC on the giants' Black Ice World Tour. Following a hiatus, the band are back and determined to make up for lost time and are guaranteed to be a huge hit at Stonedead. 

Also on the bill are phenomenal blues royalty King King, Glasgow’s modern hard rockers Mason Hill, Bournemouth’s melodic sleaze goth merchants South of Salem and explosive and dazzling Canadian, 80’s Sunset Strip power trio Deraps. yo you can be sure it’s going to be a classic year. 

Prices for arena only tickets are just £55 for adults and £40 for under 14s. Camping and arena tickets are £70 for adults and £45 for under 14s. Then with family and Adult 4 pack ticket offers from as little as £170 and Caravan & Campervans £20 per vehicle (all occupants must have a camping ticket), you really can’t beat Stonedead for value.
