DIRTY MYNDS: 60 MINUTES OF AC/DC
Just confirmed: Dirty Mynds will play a full 60-minute set of AC/DC at ROCK FESTEVIL 2026. They did the same at last year's ROCK FESTEVIL and went down a storm, so the AC/DC set is back.
That means one Halloween night brings Ozzy's Blizzard, 60 minutes of AC/DC from Dirty Mynds, and HAEMA at The Northcourt LIVE.
Halloween in Abingdon is getting louder. On Saturday 31 October 2026, ROCK FESTEVIL returns to The Northcourt LIVE with three live bands, fancy dress encouraged and a full evening built around rock and heavy metal.
The 2026 bill brings together Ozzy's Blizzard playing solo Ozzy Osbourne material, Dirty Mynds with a full hour of AC/DC, and HAEMA bringing original heavy music.
Ozzy’s Blizzard headline ROCK FESTEVIL 2026
Ozzy’s Blizzard focus on the solo catalogue of Ozzy Osbourne, including the era that produced songs such as Crazy Train and Mr. Crowley. For background on that period, the official Ozzy Osbourne archive records Blizzard of Ozz as the landmark 1980 album that launched Ozzy’s solo career.
For ROCK FESTEVIL, that music lands exactly where it should: in a small live room, turned up properly, on Halloween night.
Dirty Mynds and HAEMA complete the bill
Dirty Mynds join the line-up with a hard-rocking live set, while HAEMA bring a much heavier edge. HAEMA’s Bandcamp page describes the band as an industrial groove-metal act from the East Midlands, giving the night a strong contrast between classic heavy metal and contemporary heaviness.
The complete three-band line-up is also independently listed by Ents24, alongside the date and venue.
A proper Halloween rock night in Oxfordshire
ROCK FESTEVIL is not a background-music Halloween party. The lights are down, the volume is up, costumes are encouraged and the emphasis is firmly on the bands. It is designed for people who would rather spend Halloween in front of a stage than at a themed disco.
The show takes place at The Northcourt LIVE in Abingdon, an intimate live-music venue with free on-site parking, a lounge bar and limited first-come seating.
