German power-metallers Grave Digger, and burlesque performers The Sirens are the latest acts confirmed for next year's Bloodstock.

Grave Digger will make their return to the UK with an appearance at Bloodstock.

"Hell yeah!!" proclaim the band of their booking. "After all these years we will return to the UK again in August 2011. We are really proud that we are invited to the famous Bloodstock Festival. We will bring the Clans back to the UK to play the Tunes of War again! We can't wait to enter the stage to present the audience our true German heavy metal. Watch out for a great show filled with power and emotion. The clans are still marching..."

Bloodstock offers more than just music, with top comedians and alternative performers also providing entertainment, and next year will have even more exciting additions, the first of which has been revealed, as The Sirens who will be putting on a high-octane performance that will perfectly compliment the loud music and festival merriment.

The girls said of their appearance, "We can't wait to unleash what The Sirens have in store for Bloodstock. It's gonna be one hell of a show!"

Armed with Angle grinders, fire and 9ft long chain wall, the sparks will fly in more ways than one as Lora, Arabella and Regan deliver an unforgettable performance of sexy burlesque, aerial gymnastics and more leaving a booze soaked path of destruction in their wake.

They join a line-up of exclusives that includes Coroner, Angelwitch, Lawnmower Deth, Therion, Mortal Angel, Immortal, Rhapsody Of Fire and Triptykon who are all playing over the weekend of Friday 12th until Sunday 14th August 2011 at Catton Hall, Walton-on-Trent, in South Derbyshire.

As well as the international heavy metal bands across three stages, Bloodstock offers a large selection of merchandise stalls, metal karaoke, a campsite and a wide selection of food and bars.

Early bird tickets are on sale until next Wednesday, 15th December, priced at £95 for adults, and £10 for a car parking pass. Day tickets, and child tickets are expected to be on sale at a later date.
