ROCK and heavy metal fans can enjoy tributes to some of the biggest acts in the genre at a festival in Somerset next year.
Ice Rock Winterfest will run on Friday and Saturday, February 6 and 7, at the Bath & West Showground, at Shepton Mallet.
And the debut line-up is stacked with power, consisting of 15 tribute acts paying homage to some of the giants of the heavy genres, including Foo Fighters GB, Moretallica, Priest Unleashed, Audio Rage, Dirty DC, Megadeth UK, Ed Force One, Stiff Bizkit, Chop Suey, Slip-NOT, Disturbed UK, Motorwrecked, and Pretendulum.
“Add in rising acts like Sleep Broken and Sleepwalkers, and you’ve got a weekend loaded with raw talent and unforgettable performances,” a spokesperson said.

“For those ready to go all in, the exclusive VIP experience takes things up a notch with premium balcony views overlooking the main stage, fast-lane entry to skip the queues, and a personal bottle bar serving your favourites in style.
“But Ice Rock Winterfest isn’t just about the music, it’s about the full-throttle experience. Between blazing sets and epic light shows, a Saturday comedy break-out brings laughs as heavy as the riffs.
“When the main stage closes, the night lives on: DJs spin until 3am, late-night bars keep the party alive, and a chill zone offers a space to wind down without losing the buzz.”
Catering and food vans are also promised, as well as heated indoor camping at the Somerset site.
