Maid of Stone Festival 2025

Maid of Stone Festival 2025 has announced the first 20 acts on its blockbuster line-up.

Taking place at Mote Park in Maidstone, Kent from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th July 2025, Maid of Stone is headlined by Kentucky rock heroes Black Stone Cherry and German guitar legend Michael Schenker.

Fresh from triumphing on their arena tour, Black Stone Cherry’s bill-topping performance on the Saturday night at Maid of Stone will be their only UK show of 2025.

Michael Schenker is bringing his My Years with UFO show to Mote Park on the Sunday night, and he’ll be joined by Swedish powerhouse vocalist Erik Grönwall to belt out the UFO classics.

Also confirmed for the Maid of Stone line-up next summer are Sweet, Stone Broken, The Raven Age, Rosalie Cunningham, The Georgia Thunderbolts, These Wicked Rivers and Sari Schorr.

Completing the first wave of artists are Empyre, Hillbilly Vegas, Jack J Hutchison, In Search of Sun, Flint Moore, Blue Nation, Muddibrooke, Revenant, A’priori, Kim Jennett and Battle Born.

Maid of Stone booker Chris Wright says: “Booking arena-level bands like Black Stone Cherry underscores our commitment to the continued growth of Maid of Stone. Our focus has always been on building a sustainable, high-quality event that rock fans can rely on, year after year. The support we’ve received from fans both locally and internationally is second to none, and we’re more excited than ever for 2025.”
