After the last edition back in 2015, Paganfest is ready to return in 2025 with a month-long European trek. The following bands are part of this comeback edition: Alestorm, Ensiferum, Týr, Heidevolk, and Elvenking.

Statement from Alestorm: "Ahoy, ye scallywags and metal-hearted marauders! After a decade lost at sea, PAGANFEST be returnin' with a thunderous roar, boastin' the mightiest crew o' bands ever to sail the seven stages! With Alestorm, Ensiferum, Týr, Heidevolk, and Elvenking at the helm, this here voyage be the grandest and most raucous yet!

"Back in the days of yore, between 2008 and 2015, RTN-Touring (that be Rock The Nation, ye landlubbers) unleashed seven legendary editions across Europe and two more in the treacherous waters of the USA. Paganfest, the most triumphant festival tour of the pagan and folk metal scene, set sail and captured the hearts o’ metalheads far and wide. But alas, the festival was cast into the abyss, leavin' fans and bands alike yearnin' for its return.

"But hoist the colors and mark yer maps, for the time has come to weigh anchor once more! Paganfest be blastin' back into port with a vengeance, conquerin' legendary venues all across Europe and the UK!

"This here festival be a vital chapter in the tales of many a band’s rise to glory, helpin’ to transform 'em from humble deckhands to mighty headliners. Now, five o’ these intrepid bands be joinin' forces to hoist the Paganfest flag high once again. So grab yer horns o’ ale (and toss aside them landlubberly cans), and prepare to set sail on the wildest, most metal journey o’ yer life! Arrr!"
