Bloodstock Officially Unleashes Bin Jousting Championship! + More Bands Added

---

Knights of Metal, Assemble! In a surprising twist, Bloodstock festival is introducing an official bin jousting championship. Despite past efforts to stop the tradition, including chaining up bins and even taking them away, bin jousting will now be officially held Thursday to Sunday from late evening to 2 AM in Midgard, with safety marshals on hand.

The Metal 2 The Masses finals are wrapping up, and new talent will grace the Hopical Storm New Blood stage. Friday’s line-up features Reverent Son, Rogue Limb, Tim Whyte and the Deadbeats, and By Virtue Falls. Saturday welcomes Them Bloody Kids, Slaughterhead, and Judgement. Sunday showcases Crowgod and Kensei.

Unfortunately Ryujin have had to pull out of the festival due to health reasons, but Moon Reaper will be taking their place on the Sophie Lancaster stage under Osiah on Sunday.

Fancy dress themes this year include horror movie characters, a Motorhead tribute, and dinosaurs. Dress up and join the fun!

For camping, Ragnarok is the quiet area, Niflheim is for accessible camping (apply in advance), and Camp Loners & Newbies is great for solo campers. Other options include Ironwood, Midgard, Jotunheim, Asgard, Hel, Vanaheim for campervans, and the VIP Serpent’s Lair.
