Halestorm! Sid Wilson! Nova Twins! It must be a Kerrang! party to end the year in typically raucous style...
To celebrate the launch of our winter issue and to raise a glass to another banger of a year in rock and alternative music, we thought it right to throw a bit of a party for Kerrang!'s friends and family, and generally have a right ol' knees-up before Christmas bulldozes through everything.
And where better to toast the final issue of for 2025 than at Signature Brew in Haggerston, just a stone's throw from Kerrang! HQ, with our very own Life Is Lager beer on tap, and some very strong cocktails provided by our pals at Cazcabel.
Packing out the taproom with more than 100 of our mates, everyone from Halestorm to Nova Twins to Venus Grrrls to Slipknot's Sid Wilson came to throw down like one only can at a K! party.
Have a scroll through the pictures below for a taste of the action.
Some of the stars of our new issue also came down to grab their copy early, including Artio, The Molotovs and False Reality – three new bands you need to know heading into 2026. Plus a bunch of artists who've recently been filling up our playlists, like Knife Bride, Kid Bookie and Native James.
Basically, if you want to find the most exciting acts in the UK right now, come to a Kerrang! party.
Get your copy or the new issue now, featuring Bad Omens, Malevolence, Good Charlotte, Dayseeker and more.
