Bloodstock is already well on its way to hosting its strongest line up next summer having secured their first Headliner - legendary shock Rocker ALICE COOPER at his only UK festival appearance of 2012. Add to this BEHEMOTH, as well as DIMMU BORGIR, HATEBREED, ANVIL and another 90 ROCK AND METAL bands to be announced, this will most definitely be the biggest Metal gathering on UK soil.
BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR is now extremely proud to present TESTAMENT’s only UK show of 2012, at the very special guest slot before the Saturday night headliners at this year’s festival.
THIRD HEADLINER TO BE REVEALED 06/06 at 6PM
Held at the picturesque location of Walton on Trent in Derbyshire, B-O-A has won the hearts and minds of fans of heavy ROCK AND METAL across the globe.
You can expect some 12,000 metal heads descending on Derbyshire in August 2012 for a weekend of unadulterated full on Heavy Metal!!!
Completely independent and family run, BLOODSTOCK boasts over 100 international rock and metal acts across four stages, as well as other attractions including a huge international metal market, the infamous late night metal Karaoke, fairground rides, ‘The Bloodstock Arms’ festival bar serving real ale, full weekend camping and one of the best atmospheres the festival scene has to offer. Add to this a signing tent where you can meet your favourite bands, and - for those of you who need those extra creature comforts - an extra special VIP experience in the Serpents Lair camping and hospitality backstage bar, which offers 40 different real ales, this really is an unmissable date in the headbangers calendar. Metal brethren at your marks!
