Decapitated excitedly declared, "Bloodstock, here we come!!! Finally, after many years, it's time to play at one of the biggest metal festivals in the UK. Can't fucking wait! It's an honour to perform on the Bloodstock stage for so many people. Hopefully we will kick your asses with our new album! See you soon!"

They join the first acts to be announced who were UK exclusive headliners Emperor, and Down. For the line-up details as available please click here. There are no other acts confirmed yet for 2014.
