The final main stage headliners for next year’s Bloodstock Festival have been announced!

After Devin Townsend was confirmed to be the first headliner for the festival’s Ronnie James Dio Stage last month, speculation has been rife about who the final two headliners would be, but now, they have been revealed.

First announced this morning via Planet Rock Radio, heavy metal royalty JUDAS PRIEST will celebrate their 50th anniversary with a headlining performance on the Sunday of next year’s festival whilst Polish extreme metal juggernauts BEHEMOTH will headline the Saturday in a UK festival exclusive for 2020.

Speaking about headlining next year’s festival, JUDAS PRIEST says, “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….!!” Nergal of BEHEMOTH adds,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!”
