Bloodstock Open Air is fast approaching and we feel this will be a pinnacle year for the festival, we have stepped up to the next level & still kept the ethos of “ For the fans by the fans “, that will always remain our key statement.

In order for the open air to work well this year & also for Bloodstock to bring the typical Bloodstock bands that you all want to see, we have more established & popular headliners that are better known to UK audiences, this enables us to bring the lesser known in the UK, European bands. The headliners, In Flames, Lacuna Coil, Testament & Arch Enemy are great additions to Bloodstock & this will be their ONLY UK Festival appearances for 2007. Arch enemy also been in the studio recording tracks for their new album following the huge success of ‘ Doomsday Machine ‘ and ‘Live Apocalypse ‘ so hopefully they may play at Bloodstock some of their new tracks ! We are also very pleased to hear In Flames who are headlining the Saturday of Bloodstock Open Air have just been confirmed to be the support band for IRON MAIDEN on their upcoming dates in June in Germany, In flames are also up for a Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for Best Live Band ! Lacuna Coil are currently touring with Stone Sour & will be doing a International Tour shortly with Within Temptation, ahead of their Friday Night headline slot at Bloodstock.

We have aimed to get bands that have repeatedly been asked for and are pleased to confirm Testament as a Thursday Night headliner, with 3 support bands this is an extra night added onto the normal two days, if you buy your tickets before 5th May 2007 this extra night will not cost you anymore, after 5th May 2007 tickets will increase by £ 5, we feel Bloodstock Open Air is THE BEST value for money event in the UK !

With other bands added to the bill such as Dream Evil, Epica, Kiuas, Benediction, Rise To Addiction, Korpiklaani, Legion Of the Damned, Beyond All Reason and still more bands to be announced we aim to have the first sell out Bloodstock Open Air , as the festival grounds have a limited capacity. We will also have the ever popular unsigned stages giving many young up & coming bands the opportunity to gain a fan base and maybe a record deal !!

Please keep watching for more band announcements soon ……………………………
