Full 2025 line-up revealed

BEYOND THE GATES XIII FULL LINE-UP

So this is it, the full line-up for Beyond the Gates 2025 - Chapter XIII. What is more natural than announcing our thirteenth chapter on Friday the 13th?

What can we say - we are immensely proud of what is without a doubt our most varied line-up to date. 18 of the announced bands have never played the festival before, which we think is a statement of good health for a niche festival operating for 13 years.

The 2025 line-up boasts a wide selection of curated sets, including a first ever live appearance of the original Gehenna line-up. The reformed band will perform a set based on their newly re-released three first albums. These are jewels in the Norwegian Black Metal canon and their brilliance can not be overstated. Pure class.

King Diamond will play his first solo concert in Bergen ever, and his first show in Norway in 19 years.

Opeth has just released their barnstormer 'The Last Will and Testament' to great acclaim. The album sees the band return to some of their metal roots, while still keeping their timeless prog elements firmly in place. What an album and what a treat it will be to see the Swedish master in the legendary Grieghallen.

ABBATH -Official- Doom Occulta will close the festival by bringing his incredibly awesome ‘Return to the Raven Realms’ tour to Grieghallen, featuring songs from his period in Immortal exclusively. Mind you, the production is a sight to behold.
