Bloodstock have confirmed another four bands for this year’s festival!

Kicking 2019 off with a bang, Bloodstock, the UK’s biggest independent metal festival have confirmed another four bands for this year’s festival!

POWERWOLF land the coveted main stage special guest slot on Friday whilst SOULFLY also step into a Ronnie James Dio main stage spot on Friday. Phoenix metal squad, INCITE come to Catton Park for the first time, picking up Friday’s hotly-contested main stage opening spot and Finnish prog doomsters, SWALLOW THE SUN grab themselves an early main stage spot on Saturday.

Speaking about performing at this year’s festival, POWERWOLF says, “we’re looking forward to returning to the mighty Bloodstock Festival after almost ten years to celebrate the metal mass with our friends in the UK – this is going to be a truly wild one!!” SOULFLY frontman Max Cavalera adds, “Bloodstock 2019, get ready! It will be a Cavalera invasion! SOULFLY will be playing a lot of songs off our new album, Ritual. My son, Richie, is coming with INCITE too and together we will make a day to remember! Fuck yeah! Let the Ritual begin!”

Bloodstock Festival takes place at Catton Park, Derbyshire on 8th-11th August 2019. Standard weekend tickets, priced £145, are on sale now and can be purchased here.
