Korpiklaani will perform a one off UK show in 2007 at Bloodstock Open Air on Saturday 7th July. This is perfect timing as the band are currently working on the latest Finnish Folk Metal hymns for their new album ‘Tervaskanto’ to be released April 2007. Check them out on our bands line-up page.

Keep watching as this is just the start of an amazing line up that we will be announcing over the coming weeks for B.O.A and Bloodstock 07 Indoor………………

“Bloodstock…….a celebration of your favourite recognised acts along with our usual talent for spotting the cream of emerging international Metal magic….. and all without losing our roots and focus”

As the huge industry clout that is Wacken takes a hold of Bloodstock 2007 the Festivals are really moving up a gear or two. Some familiar faces who have put in invaluable effort in establishing the Bloodstock success story may be taking a well earned break for the time being whilst the new team takes shape. Rest assured we are still the Festival ran by fans for fans!

Taking the next step towards “bigger and better things” means we have to be more commercially astute and pro active but not necessarily selling our collective souls to the corporate mega monsters. It has been an interesting marriage of existing and potential partners as Bloodstock ascends the Festival ladder.

We intend maintaining the unique family atmosphere we’ve all spent years creating whilst building upon the positive industry perception we enjoy.
