Speaking about performing at next year’s festival KING DIAMOND himself says, “it is with sinister pleasure MERCYFUL FATE will finally bring the Devil himself to Bloodstock Summer ‘21. We cannot wait and neither can he. It’s gonna be dark as Hell.” DIMMU BORGIR add, “UK! After our triumphant London show this January, we will be back at your shores next year.
