The announcements for next year’s festival season are now truly in full swing and to keep excitement rife, the organisers of the UK’s biggest independent metal festival have confirmed another five bands for next year’s festival!

Also confirmed is ROSS THE BOSS, who perform on the main stage on Sunday, and EVIL SCARECROW who will perform on the main stage on Saturday.

Speaking about performing at next year’s festival, GRAND MAGUS‘ JB says, “dear Bloodstockers! The MAGUS returns to the UK to lay waste to your eardrums with metal! We are honoured to be headlining the Sophie Lancaster stage and we will put our hearts and souls into making it something special for all of you. Can’t wait to see you all!” DEATH ANGEL‘s Mark Osegueda adds, “we haven’t played BLOODSTOCK since 2013, when we had to run straight from the stage after a blistering set to a van that took us to the airport to make it to our next show! So we look forward to experiencing this incredible festival properly in all its glory in 2019! It will have been six years since we graced that stage and we have been dying to return. We promise to show you how eager we’ve been to get back to BLOODSTOCK with a pure thrash set fuelled by raw human aggression and passion! Thank you BLOODSTOCK for bringing us back!!!!”

Bloodstock Festival takes place at Catton Park, Derbyshire on 8th-11th August 2019. Early bird tickets (priced at £132) are on sale now and can be purchased here.
