Pelagic Records have announced the full line-up for this year’s iteration of their annual celebration of the most innovative and influential acts in post-rock, progressive metal and beyond.

The 2025 edition will be headlined by the dark overlord himself, Ihsahn. Also featuring prominently on this year’s bill will be This Will Destroy You and God Is An Astronaut.

Continuing the festival’s tradition of exclusive full album performances, French instrumental rock pioneers Bruit ≤ will perform two sets over the two days, the first featuring their groundbreaking debut album ‘The Machine Is Burning…’, followed by their forthcoming release ‘The Age Of Ephemerality’ live for the first time ever. Additionally, the TWDU alter egos in You, Infinite will debut their new self-titled album in its entirety, while Pothamus also will deliver the whole of their current release.

  • Pelagic Fest 2025 is set to unfold on 23/24 August at Muziekgieterij in Maastricht, The Netherlands.
