Bloodstock Festival: Mastodon Added Plus More Weekend Tickets
This news needs no added fanfare. Time for a mic drop!
BLOODSTOCK is thrilled to announce that special guests on the Ronnie James Dio stage on Sunday will be…. wait for it…. none other than highly revered, four-headed metal behemoth MASTODON.
The group are just off the road in the USA with festival alumni pals LAMB OF GOD, dropping the collab track ‘Floods Of Triton’ to celebrate their co-headline Ashes Of Leviathan tour. You can check out a ‘making of’ interview here. Perhaps you caught MASTODON headlining BLOODSTOCK all the way back in 2016? Investigate the treasure trove of live tracks from that set on BLOODSTOCK’s YouTube at your leisure, including ‘High Road.’
If you’re extra crushed now you didn’t manage to snap up a weekend ticket before they sold out, read on for good news…
Additional weekend tickets
Festival HQ saw a lot of social media posts after weekend tickets for next summer’s event sold out, with fans disappointed they missed out on tickets. While a limited number of day tickets will be made available in due course (once more of the line-up has been announced), festival HQ has managed to acquire some extra camping space in a new field.
It’s important to note that BLOODSTOCK is not increasing its capacity - the festival will have the same maximum number of headbangers. However, the number of day tickets available each day will be reduced to a smaller quantity to accommodate some additional standard weekend tickets.
Details of the new standard weekend tickets
- This new campsite - called Kyrr - will and needs to be quiet camping. Please be respectful of that. The Ragnarok campsite will also remain quiet camping. The name comes from an Old Norse word meaning calm & peaceful!
- To avoid overcrowding in BLOODSTOCK’s existing campsites, the new standard weekend ticket will have a different wristband - you will only be able to camp in Kyrr.
- On arrival, you will collect your wristband directly at this campsite.
- Kyrr is situated directly behind Vanaheim (campervans) and is approximately a 10 minute walk from the arena entrance. You will walk through the Hel campsite to get there (not through Vanaheim).
- As an additional benefit, there will be a car park right next to the Kyrr campsite. The new weekend ticket will be available to buy with or without parking in this car park. This parking is only valid in this specific Kyrr car park.
- The new standard weekend ticket is the same cost as the original standard weekend tickets. This is much cheaper than buying 3 individual day tickets as some fans were considering - and you get Thursday included too!
- These tickets will go on sale from the ticket store at 9am on November 5th. We expect them to go quickly so be ready!
