Malevolence replaces Hatebreed, joining Lamb of God, and Mercyful Fate as headline acts for this year's Bloodstock, the independent metal festival which takes place at Catton Hall, Walton-on-Trent, in South Derbyshire from Thursday 11th until Sunday 14th August 2022.
Also landing main stage slots across the weekend are Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals playing their Pantera set, Dimmu Borgir, Testament, Exodus, The Black Dahlia Murder, GWAR (in a UK festival exclusive), Heathen, The Night Flight Orchestra, Bury Tomorrow, Sacred Reich, Life of Agony, Butcher Babies, Vio-lence, and Bloodywood, with Static X closing out Sunday night in their only UK show of 2022.
Bloodstock festival aims to offer a traditional metal event comparable to those regularly seen in Europe, capturing the spirit of the original Monsters Of Rock shows which used to take place at Castle Donington during the 1980's and 1990's.
BLOODSTOCK have also revealed the first phase of winners in their celebrated Metal 2 The Masses programme, all who’ll be appearing on the New Blood stage at some point across festival weekend.
Landing Friday slots are Scottish heat victors and modern metal 5-piece Catalysis, plus Northern Ireland’s top dogs, the riff-heavy trio Haint, the Republic of Ireland’s winners, blackened death metal squad Fornoth and the Leeds heat champions and heavy metal militia, Pariah. Also snagging Saturday sets on the New Blood stage are the Manchester final overlords, deathcore squad Portrayal Of Ruinn, Leeds’ victors, the melodic hardcore squad Steel Mage and Newcastle upon Tyne’s conquerors, the brutal deathcore outfit Cast In Tephra.
Also grabbing New Blood stage slots from CD submissions are ferocious Yorkshire 5-piece, Ireosis, who land a Friday slot, dark symphonic deathcore outfit Draconian Reign score a Saturday slot and Sunday appearances will come from heavy rock power trio Sweet May and groove-laden riff-worshippers Torus.
