Bloodstock Open Air 2016

Thursday 11th to Sunday 14th August 2016
Catton Hall, Walton-on-Trent, Derbyshire, DE12 8LN, England MAP
£139 with camping (plus booking fee)
Daily capacity: 15,000

Misery Loves Co., Diamond Head, Cambion, and Krysthla have all been added to the bill for this summer's Bloodstock Open Air.

The Swedish industrial metal duo of the 1990s and early 2000s has recently reformed, and said, "The UK was always special to Misery Loves Co, our very first show outside of Scandinavia was in London and without the support of the British people we probably would have stayed in Scandinavia for ever, listening to ABBA, eating herring and dreaming of the outside world… Misery Loves Co + Britain = a true love story. Now, when we return to the stage, we’re extremely happy to showcase our industrial demons in front of the British crowd once more. Doing a summer of festivals without coming to the UK would have been a failure, so, we can’t wait to come to Bloodstock!"

The line-up over the weekend from Thursday 11th until Sunday 14th August at Catton Hall, Walton-on-Trent, in South Derbyshire includes headliners Slayer, Twisted Sister, and Mastodon, plus Corrosion of Conformity, Fear Factory, Gojira, Symphony X, Rotting Christ, Paradise Lost, Dragonforce, Behemoth, Venom, Metal Allegiance, Stuck Mojo, Goatwhore, Phil Campbell and his all star band, Unearth, Ghost Bath, Evil Scarecrow, XII Boar, The King Is Blind, Witchsorrow, and Acid Reign.

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