⚔️ BAND SPOTLIGHT: Battle Born ⚔️
A firm favourite at camp QF, Battle Born are a 5 piece synth fuelled heavy metal band from Southampton, UK. They have carried the torch of heavy metal across UK and Europe with their energetic stage presence.
We are looking forward to welcoming charismatic frontman Jack Reynolds and the band to the stage at KK's Steel Mill.
⚔️Quest Fest - 10th October 2026⚔️
Are you excited to experience the legendary Power Force of Battle Born? 👇
⚔️ Behind every great quest is a legendary party. ⚔️
Quest Fest is powered by people who give their time and energy completely voluntarily, including our organisers, stage crew, merch teams and gaming dungeon crew.
We couldn’t do this without every single one of them, so we hope you'll join us in celebrating their awesomeness by showing them some love below! 🖤

No elitism. No proving yourself. No worrying if you “fit in.”
Just awesome music, epic moments, friendly faces and a community built for everyone who loves power, prog and heavy metal.
Whether it’s your first Quest Fest or your ninth, whether you know every band or you’re discovering new bands for the first time, everyone is welcome.

⚔️ BAND SPOTLIGHT: Crown Solace ⚔️
One of the most exciting rising names in the UK metal scene is heading to Quest Fest.
Crown Solace are forging their own path with a bold modern take on symphonic power metal. For those lucky enough to have heard vocalist Pete Rawcliffe, you'll know that he is absolutely phenomenal. We caught them at Bloodstock Open Air and have been hooked ever since!
We love championing the future of power and heavy metal and we truly believe this matters just as much as celebrating the legends. We are proud to be able to give a platform to emerging bands like Crown Solace.
⚔️ Quest Fest - 10th October 2026 ⚔️
Who’s had the pleasure of seeing Crown Solace already? 👇

⚔️ WHAT IS QUEST FEST? ⚔️
It's a place dedicated to power, prog, heavy and fantasy style metal music. A place where power, prog and heavy metal reigns loud and proud.
Where gamers, adventurers and lovers of all things geekery feel at home.
A place where dwarves, elves, bards, warriors and wanderers are welcomed equally and cosplay is celebrated.
But above all, it's a place where friendships are forged and no one stands alone (unless they want to of course).
So gather your party members, ready your armour, and tag your fellowship below so we can see who's joining our next adventure.
