BLOODSTOCK HQ is readying to send Team M2TM out on the road for the finals, but in the meantime, there’s a few more band additions to the August bill!

Joining Friday’s main stage bill are newly re-grouped British death metal overlords, AKERCOCKE.  The band are working on new music and BLOODSTOCK will be their very first gig since their reformation.  Frontman Jason Mendonca tells us: “AKERCOCKE have returned after 5 years absence from the live circuit.  We are reinvigorated by the return of our original guitarist Paul Scanlan and the ranks are completed by Dam front man Nathanael Underwood on bass guitar.  Following the great experience the band enjoyed in 2008, we are proud to return to the BLOODSTOCK main stage for a second time.  Expect fan favourites from the past and killer new tunes from the present.  See you down the front."

Stoner/blues rock five-piece, DESERT STORM join Sunday’s Sophie stage bill.  Check out their video for ‘Signals From Beyond’ - https://youtu.be/U2G-Tqhswsw.  The track can be snapped up on various coloured vinyl as a split 7” (with Suns of Thunder) on 29th April from http://www.h42records.8merch.com/presale.

Also landing a Sunday Sophie slot are thrash metal animals, DIVINE CHAOS.  Check out their video for ‘Fields of the Fallen’ - https://youtu.be/wJn8qWmDt8A - and pre-order their debut album, ‘A New Dawn In The Age Of War’ over at their webstore for a 29th May release - http://www.divinechaosmetal.com/#!reviews/c9qb.

Meanwhile, back at BLOODSTOCK HQ, the first acts for the New Blood stage have been chosen!  After throwing their hat in the ring via CD applications, the following bands win slots on the New Blood bill;  London doomstersPOSEIDON, Bristol’s darkly melodic MORDRAKE, Belfast metal beasts RABID BITCH OF THE NORTH and Austria’s REST IN FEAR all snare themselves stage time at BLOODSTOCK!

Already announced for 2016 are our three headliners, TWISTED SISTER (in their last ever UK show), MASTODON and SLAYER, plus special guests BEHEMOTH, GOJIRA and ANTHRAX.  Also on the bill are FEAR FACTORY, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, SYMPHONY X, SATYRICON, PARADISE LOST, DRAGONFORCE, METAL ALLEGIANCE, STUCK MOJO, ROTTING CHRIST, MISERY LOVES CO, GHOST BATH, VENOM, UNEARTH, DIAMOND HEAD, GOATWHORE, ACID REIGN and many more.  Additional bands are still to be announced.

Weekend tickets with camping, plus various VIP packages are available now, priced from £139 (+ booking fee) at http://bloodstock.seetickets.com/event/bloodstock-2016/catton-park/902838.
