Sheffield’s iconic Don Valley Bowl is set to host the 2025 edition of the much anticipated return of the Rock N Roll Circus festival, with an all day party in honour of Reverend and The Makers’ 20th anniversary.

The live show will mark two decades of one of Sheffield’s most enduring and innovative musical collective, fronted by local hero Jon McClure, affectionately known as "The Reverend."

Rock N Roll Circus has announced Queens of the Stone Age will be joining them at Don Valley Bowl next door to us on Wednesday, 27 August 2025 PLUS an extra date has been added for Thursday 28 August 2025! They will be joined by very special guests Viagra Boys, Fat Dog, The Bug Club and So Good.

The 20th anniversary show promises more than just incredible music. The festival line-up curated by McClure himself, includes an eclectic mix of legendary performers and rising stars. Reverend and The Makers will be joined on stage by Groove Armada (DJ Set), The Libertines’ Peter Doherty and Carl Barat, Lottery Winners, Everly Pregnant Brothers & More!

Rock N Roll Circus has now become a staple of Sheffield’s music scene, blending world-class music and local talent with a thrilling circus experience. This year, the festival is expanding in all direction - more bands, more stages, and more circus performances than ever before.

Festival organiser Ali O’Reilly said: “We’re taking Rock N Roll Circus to the next level in 2025. Bringing a band such as Queens of the Stone Age to Sheffield is a huge moment for us and we can’t wait to welcome them to the Big Top in August. They are the perfect act to open our celebrations and fit everything that our brand is trying to achieve. It’s been a long time since they’ve performed in this part of the world, and we’re honoured and excited to have them.”
