Hordes X is a yearly, two-stage showcase of heavy music, set in the Scottish city of Dundee.
Originally known as Hordes Of Belial, it hit its tenth year in 2019. At the same time, it underwent re-branding, and branched out to incorporate a series of Outreach shows around Scotland, making it an event of many towns and cities.
Over a decade in action, it still shows no signs of stopping.
Hail the Hordes!

Final Hordes X 2021 lineup Time waits for no fest! Yes, we always call Hordes X a “showcase”, but that was catchy, right? There is a story behind it, too. Normally, we’d be well on our way by this stage. It’s been a difficult year, though. We felt we had…
