Bloodstock Festival Reveal New Details, Limited Day Tickets Available

---

With just 22 days until Bloodstock festival 2021, weekend tickets for the event have 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! With the festival going full steam ahead for 2021, the organisers have now locked in the last of the bands for the event.

Opening up the Sophie Lancaster Stage will be Midlands alt-metal four-piece, Netherhall, who won their slot through Plant Rock Radio’s band competition. Netherhall recently performed at an event at Aston Villa FC for Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler to honour Butler’s induction into the Birmingham Walk of Stars.

The second phase of Metal 2 The Masses bands are also now finalised, with 11 additional grassroots outfits winning themselves a New Blood stage slot.

Winning the slot from South Wales are rock squad Pearler, Kent went for groove/doom metallers Struck/Down, Leeds’ sludgesters Sound Of Origin also join the bill, Birmingham’s victors are rock four-piece Insurgent, and Northern Ireland’s winners are doom/sludge 6-piece, Elder Druid, all of whom land themselves a Friday spot.

Joining the new blood stage on Saturday’s line-up are Brighton victors Kinzoku who blend thrash, prog, death and metalcore, Hull thrash/groove outfit Irontooth, Satanic Blackened Deathcore band Blood Church, rock 4-piece, Cotton Mouth, dread-soaked dropouts The Ghoules and finally, Scotland’s Lovecraftian monsters Nassau.

The festival has also today confirmed that the festivals previous charity partners, mental health-angled Mind, roll over from 2020, together with the related Patch Amnesty. Sharing the funds this year are Derbyshire Blood Bikes, who offer a free medical courier service to the local NHS hospitals, moving blood, human milk for premature & ill babies, biological & diagnostic samples, medication and other urgent medical equipment wherever they need to go in the UK. Their 65 volunteers and fleet of 13 bikes and 3 cars travel over 200,000 miles every year and are funded purely by donations, needing over £35,000 a year just to operate, so every single pound helps.

This year’s Ram Gallery will include work from longtime Judas Priest artistic collaborator, Mark Wilkinson, who is also showing his latest creation in the shape of Fish’s latest ‘Weltschmerz’ album artwork. There’s also a very special piece of art from previous BLOODSTOCK headliners, Trivium! For the first time anywhere in the world, you’ll be able to see the actual painting from their recent ‘In The Court Of The Dragon’ video… and the first 100 fans to check it out can snag a 12×12 print to take home.

Also exhibiting for the first time in the Ram Gallery is longtime Metal Hammer snapper and Iron Maiden official photographer John McMurtrie, who’ll have seven of his fabulous images on display. The ever-popular luthier, Cynosure returns once again with his astonishing handcrafted guitars, including both 2020’s and 2021’s creations. 2020’s two guitars are a Jimi Hendrix inspired axe (to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of his passing) and a Ronnie James Dio guitar (marking a similar 10 years). 2021’s themes are a Devin Townsend-inspired piece and a piece that is an homage to Van Halen. There will be even more than just these works on display.

If you’re still struggling to find your tent after 2019’s fest, fear not, Fat Frank’s Camping Store will be at the festival to help. You can pre-order all your gear, or just that one missing item and collect it on-site. You can have them blow up your air bed while you wait, or even ‘rent-a-tent’ from them for the weekend. Not only that, they can also solve the problem of towing it all home on the train with their ‘festival bag’ service, where they’ll deliver all your kit back to your home address within 3-5 days post-event, or if you don’t want your tent any more, you can drop it off at their donation point in the Midgard campsite.

Bloodstock have also partnered with Tangerine Fields. If you’d rather not transport and wrestle with your own tent, you can rent one of their pre-pitched tents, all set to go and ready for your arrival at Catton Park. No hassle with putting it up and then taking it down on Monday morning! Check out all the size options and book online here.

One day tickets are still available in the ticket store along with child tickets and parking tickets. VIP and campervan tickets for 2021, along with weekend tickets are now sold out.
