Alternative clothing brand TEN OF CLUBS has officially announced the full lineup for TOCstock ’25, its highly anticipated alternative shindig, taking place at the renowned live music venue Also Known As (AKA) in Banbury on Friday, 10 October 2025.
Billed as the biggest celebration of alternative music ever to hit Oxfordshire, the 18+ event will feature a one-night-only, explosive reunion performance from MSRY, marking the legendary hardcore metal outfit’s first appearance since 2020. Known for their raw intensity and cathartic live shows, MSRY’s return promises to be nothing short of seismic.
Joining them on the bill are two of the UK’s most thrilling heavy acts: Severed Tongues, delivering a masterclass in melodic metalcore, and Sleemo, bringing their sludgy, genre-bending alt-metal chaos to the stage. The sonic onslaught kicks off at 20:00.
Fittingly scheduled on World Mental Health Day, TOCstock ’25 is more than just a night of blistering music - it’s a call to action. The event is held in support of Music Minds Matter, the leading UK charity offering 24/7 mental health support for anyone working in music. All donations raised will go directly to funding their crucial work.
Admission is free, but space is limited. For guaranteed entry, fans are encouraged to grab tickets now via www.tenofclubs.co.uk, where they can also make a voluntary donation to Music Minds Matter.

George ‘Skev’ Skevington, founder and creative director of TEN OF CLUBS, said: “We’re pumped to unleash TOCstock ‘25 and to support such a great cause, especially on a day dedicated to mental health awareness. We’ve got an incredible lineup for you. We’re excited to see Severed Tongues and Sleemo perform — two of our favourite bands — and we’re honoured to have MSRY reunite for one night only, especially for TOCstock. Get your free ticket while you can. This is not to be missed!”
Announcing the band’s return, MSRY guitarist Charles Bishop said:“So stoked to be part of TOCstock. We’ve gotten to know TEN OF CLUBS pretty well. When they suggested we perform, we jumped at the chance. MSRY went on hiatus during lockdown, but we always felt we’d be back someday. Doing this now, and for such a good cause, just feels right.”
Grace Meadows, Head of Music Minds Matter, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to TEN OF CLUBS and all the artists involved in TOCstock for supporting Music Minds Matter on World Mental Health Day. Music has the power to bring people together, and events like this help raise vital funds and awareness for the mental health challenges faced by those working in the music industry. Every donation makes a real difference in ensuring no one in music faces these struggles alone.”
