Maid Of Stone / Two Days Left To Secure Tickets On A Payment Plan
With under three months to go until Maid Of Stone Festival, the anticipation is building as the weather slowly begins to improve in the UK. This is a key week, as you have less than two days to secure tickets on a Payment Plan (closes 23:59 30 April), with all VIP upgrades now sold out.
Maid Of Stone Festival earlier announced a major highlight for its 2026 edition, confirming that Uriah Heep and The Almighty will co-headline the Sunday bill. The Uriah Heep show at Maid Of Stone will be their only UK show in 2026.
“When we became aware that both bands were available, it was impossible to choose,” Chris Wright said. “We had to find a way to have both. They are huge names with huge histories, and having them share the Sunday spotlight just felt right. What a way to close the 2026 show.”
Metal legends Saxon close the main stage on Saturday, with The Temperance Movement topping the Friday bill.
Taking place at Mote Park, Maidstone, Kent, from 17–19 July 2026, the festival continues to build momentum with one of its strongest closing line-ups to date.
Tickets are available now via the official festival website.
