A dynamic four-piece from the Black Country, Mantis Defeats Jaguar bring their unique blend of Funk, Hip-Hop and Metal to get the party started. MDJ’s energetic live show embraces the crowd as their fifth member, bringing everyone along for the ride. Expect jumping, riffs and balloons…
Following their success in Birmingham’s Metal 2 The Masses, MDJ proudly represented the region at Bloodstock 2025 on the NewBlood Stage, gaining new friends and fans throughout the entire journey. Returning to open the Sophie Lancaster Stage, MDJ look to take their show to the next level.
“We are beyond excited and honoured to open the Sophie Lancaster Stage in 2026. Bloodstock and S.O.P.H.I.E hold a special place in our hearts, and we are deeply grateful to return and be part of the 25th anniversary celebrations. Let’s bounce!”
