Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium Glasgow Hydro Stage Times: Who's on first, support, tickets, setlists

Welsh band Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium are both celebrating the 20th anniversary of key albums in their musical careers, and are celebrating with the Poisoned Ascendency Tour.

Bullet For My Valentine will be playing their debut The Poison in full, which Trivium will be giving the same treatment to second album Ascendency.

Bullet For My Valentine said: "We are super excited to announce we are coming back in 2025 with our friends Trivium, to bring you the Poisoned Ascendancy Tour. We're going to be celebrating 20 years of our debut album The Poison and Trivium's Ascendancy. It’s the metal tour of 2025, so don’t miss out."

Trivium added: “This is a celebration for the old fans that were there at 9AM at Ozzfest to catch a couple songs from a band in Iron Maiden shirts. It’s for the new fans that have been listening to the deep cuts but never caught them on a recent tour. And lastly, it’s for both BFMV and us to take a moment to reflect on how amazing these 20 years have been, how fast they’ve gone, and how important these albums are for the both of our bands. We can’t wait to play Ascendancy for you.”

And there’s good news for Scottish fans - with a date in Glasgow.
