BLOODSTOCK has a ton of exciting news this week as the festival gets ever closer! In hugely exciting news, on Friday afternoon over on the Sophie Lancaster stage, we’re bringing you a very, *very* special ‘surprise set’ from an internationally renowned band. We can’t tell you any more, so you’ll just have to come along and see! You’ll be kicking yourself if you miss it!!
In a final bonanza of bands for 2022, BLOODSTOCK can also reveal a whopping 22 more bands to entertain the metal hordes at Catton Park next month. Plus, there’s news on this year’s fancy dress theme, face-painting, exclusive ents for those with Serpents Lair VIP tickets, and there’s still Facebook Lives to come with GWAR and MALEVOLENCE where you can put your question to the bands.
Unfortunately, ENFORCED, ALL HAIL THE YETI, and SACRED REICH have had to cancel, but BLOODSTOCK has been hard at work to fill their spots and more besides, to round out the 2022 line-up. With the news that SACRED REICH can’t make it, the very capable face-melters SYLOSIS step into the breach, they’re the meat in an impressive LORNA SHORE - JINJER main stage sandwich on Saturday.
Good news for HEART OF A COWARD fans! With a little bit of juggling going on, the pulverising metalcore massive will be stepping up from the Sophie Lancaster stage to the Ronnie James Dio main stage on Friday, filling ALL HAIL THE YETI’s spot who sadly had to pull out of their Summer European run.
Opening the Sophie stage on Saturday are Planet Rock Radio’s competition winners, the hooky modern metal crew SISTER SHOTGUN. Hailing from Birmingham, the band declared, “We are so excited and honoured to be playing Bloodstock. It feels like a really special moment for us as we’ve been coming to the festival for a number of years, so to finally be on that stage performing will be incredible. We absolutely cannot wait!”
Elder Scrolls fans THUUM will add some sludgy riffs, heavy groove, & epic melodies to the Sophie Lancaster stage on Thursday - meaning that weekend ticket holders will now get six bands of glorious metal entertainment on Thursday evening, not five!
BLOODSTOCK will take place at Catton Park, Derbyshire on 11th-14th August 2022.
