Bloodstock is excited to announce that weekend tickets to this Summer’s festival are now SOLD OUT! A limited number of one day tickets are still available for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with the latter day’s availability now very limited, so move fast if you wanna see Judas Priest! Anyone missing the boat or wanting to sell their ticket due to changing circumstances, can check here for official re-sales.

There’s just 41 days to Bloodstock 2021! We’re counting down the hours before Catton Park opens the gates to the biggest - and longest, at 5 days - metal party of the year!  
 
First we have some bad, but also, good news! A few more international bands are experiencing issues with travel and logistics and have had to cancel, but we’ve secured some fantastic replacements from UK shores. 
 

Rockshots Records is proud to announce their latest signing of Aexylium for their new album “The Fifth Season”.

While we all wait patiently for the final lockdown restrictions to be eased, Bloodstock HQ remains busier than ever finalising details for this year’s event. We know everyone is more than ready for a hellaciously good time with their friends in the sunshine and tickets are moving fast now, don’t miss your chance to grab yours before you can't!

Moonspell, the undisputed Gothic Metal titans, return to their hometown, Portugal’s luminous capital Lisbon, in style and with a grandiose Double-Date no pack member can afford to miss out!

Germany’s hottest and most entertaining medieval folk rockers, Feuerschwanz, have prevailed against pandemic paralysis and are set to release two recent virtual live highlights under the banner “Die letzte Schlacht” (engl. The Final Battle), via BluRay/DVD/CD on August 6th, 2021, via Napalm Records.

The bundled live offering, including extras like a special Feuerschwanz-branded game of “Bingo” and a tour diary, will be available in limited Wooden Box, Mediabook, LP Gatefold and digital formats.

Are you getting excited to be at Bloodstock in just 10 weeks time? Started planning which bands are on your “must-see” list yet? Here’s twelve more bands for you to consider, added to Thursday’s line-up on the New Blood stage, chosen from online submissions. The remaining days bands on that stage will be chosen from the winners of 2021’s Metal 2 The Masses finals, set to happen in July. 
 

The Spanish Last Days Of Eden have signed a worldwide contract with the German record label El Puerto Records! The Symphonic Folk Metal sextet from the Asturias region will release their third album in autumn 2021 and are then planning a release tour with Rage.

There’s just 85 days left before Bloodstock and more bands are locking in for 2021!
 

With the weather slowly warming up, we’re counting down the days to Bloodstock. There’s a veritable feast of new bands to get your ears around before August - some you may know, some you may not (yet), but one thing is for sure - they’re all determined to help make this year’s Bloodstock the absolute best fun you’ve had in over a year.
