Are you a Bloodstock regular? Perhaps you’re thinking of coming for the first time, or you’ve tested the waters before with a day ticket just to see what you think? Bloodstock weekend ticket holders don’t just get three days of heavy metal glory, they get four!  While day tickets can be purchased closer to the event for Friday, Saturday, and/or Sunday, Bloodstock starts the party on Thursday, exclusively for weekend ticket holders!  Get your tent pitched, grab your mates, and head over to the Planet Rock presents...Sophie Lancaster stage for a jam-packed evening of heavy metal fun. 

Back in December, Bloodstock revealed that Swedish hard rockers The Night Flight Orchestra are set to headline Thursday’s opening night party. The Nuclear Blast-signed band, who feature members of Soilwork and Arch Enemy in their ranks, are promising new songs in 2020, but meanwhile, check out ‘This Time’ from current release, ‘Sometimes The World Ain’t Enough’ here.  

Bloodstock is thrilled to announce that they’ll be joined on the bill by these four bands…

Firstly, the irrepressible goblin kings, NEKROGOBLIKON. Hailing from California, the group released latest album ‘Welcome To Bonkers’ in 2018, featuring the track ‘Dressed As Goblins’ - watch the video for it here. If that’s not enough goblin for you, browse the rest of their Nekrogoblitude, and if you want to dress up especially for their set, who are we to stop you?!  Be sure to get your photo snapped by our roving official photographers if you do! 

Northern Irish death/doom merchants THE CRAWLING are also added to Thursday’s line-up. Citing influences such as Paradise Lost, Marduk, Katatonia, and Bolt Thrower, this stripped back, dark three piece will bring all the heavy. Get familiar via the video for ‘Still No Sun’ here, taken from their album ‘Wolves And The Hideous White’.

Derby-based grind squad RAISED BY OWLS are looking forward to adding their brand of extreme metal to Thursday’s headbangin’ shenanigans, promising a no-holds-barred aural assault with a hefty dose of sardonic humour.  You only have to check out the video for their Christmas charity single ‘The Santanist’ here (proceeds going to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation), to get a flavour of what’s in store.

Also joining the fray, are last year’s Bournemouth Metal 2 The Masses victors ANAKIM, offering up a choice blend of progressive black/death metal to get your weekend started. Check out that live set, including the single ‘Born Of The Serpents Tongue’, filmed at Bloodstock, here.  Their album, ‘Monuments To Departed Worlds’, is out now.

And that’s just the bands! There’s a host of other entertainment planned too, sure to kick off your weekend in glorious style. Don’t miss out!

Devin Townsend was announced as Friday night’s headliner last month. Without further ado… 

Metal legends Judas Priest will headline Sunday night. In a year when Bloodstock celebrates 20 years, we can think of no better place to also celebrate Judas Priest’s 50 Heavy Metal Years! The Grammy Award-winning British icons were recently nominated again for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and to date have sold over 50 million albums. Their latest release, 2018’s ‘Firepower’, saw the band return all guns blazing, earning the accolade Best British Album at the Planet Rock Awards. Judas Priest enthuse:-

     “Horns up Bloodstock - the Priest is back to headline the 20th year of Bloodstock with our 50 Heavy Metal Years anniversary show!! A double barrel, once in a lifetime, blast of metal mania 2020....!!” 

You can watch a special message from the inimitable Rob Halford at: https://youtu.be/2VJIsrJf_Mc. 

The mighty Behemoth are set to headline Saturday in a UK festival exclusive for 2020. Having wowed fans across the globe with their phenomenal set on both Slayer’s final US tour and Slipknot’s current Knotfest Roadshow, the Polish metal heavyweights will be upping the stakes by bringing their biggest and best production to date. Don’t miss the spectacle of them closing out the Ronnie James Dio main stage on Saturday night!

Charismatic frontman Nergal tells us:-

     “Bloodstock! The hallowed lands of Catton Park will once again host our Fiendish Festivities. This is Behemoth’s first UK festival headline and that will be celebrated in the only way we know how; Hell will be raised, blood will be shed, and magick will descend! We shall see you there Legions!”

Lelahell are one of Algerian newer extreme metal groups. In 2010, Redouane Aouameur who is no stranger to the Algerian metal scene as he has already been in other bands including (Neanderthalia, Litham, Carnavage and Devast) founded it. In August 2012, “Goressimo Records” officially released the band’s debut EP. In summer 2013, Lelahell embarked for their first European Tour.

The first full length album of Lelahell L 'Al Insane... The (Re) Birth Of Abderrahmane' was released in August 5th 2014 by Horror Pain Gore Death Productions From USA. In the end of the same year, Lelahell  toured Europe in support of that first album.

In January 1st 2016, Redouane Aouameur released “Highway to Lelahell", a 52 minutes documentary. This movie talks about his career, enriched for 23 years, which blends with the history of Metal in Algeria. In March 2016, the band embarked for a mini tour which took place in Austria and Switzerland.

In 2017 Lelahell kick off an European tour in two weeks. After the tour Lelahell entered the Fermata studio (Algiers) to record the guitars and vox for the second full length ‘Alif’. The album Alif features one of the most admired players in the world of technical death metal - Hannes Grossmann (ex Necrophagist, ex Obscura, Alkaloid, Blotted Science, Hate Eternal) on drums and was mixed and mastered at the famous Hertz Recording Studio (Bialystock, Poland) by Sławek and Wojtek Wieslawski (Behemoth, Vader, Decapitated, Hate).

The album contains 10 tracks of intensive death metal riffs with an Algerian folklore accent, combined with fast blast beats and technical rhythms.

In January 2018 Lelahell signed a record deal with the legendary Slovak label Metal Age Productions to release ‘Alif’ on June 15th 2018.
