Bloodstock is excited to announce that weekend tickets to this Summer’s festival are now SOLD OUT! A limited number of one day tickets are still available for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with the latter day’s availability now very limited, so move fast if you wanna see Judas Priest! Anyone missing the boat or wanting to sell their ticket due to changing circumstances, can check here for official re-sales.

There’s just 41 days to Bloodstock 2021! We’re counting down the hours before Catton Park opens the gates to the biggest - and longest, at 5 days - metal party of the year!  
 
First we have some bad, but also, good news! A few more international bands are experiencing issues with travel and logistics and have had to cancel, but we’ve secured some fantastic replacements from UK shores. 
 

While we all wait patiently for the final lockdown restrictions to be eased, Bloodstock HQ remains busier than ever finalising details for this year’s event. We know everyone is more than ready for a hellaciously good time with their friends in the sunshine and tickets are moving fast now, don’t miss your chance to grab yours before you can't!

Last year, Vio-Lence released a digital single - “California Uber Alles” (a cover version of the Dead Kennedys classic!) - via Metal Blade Records. After giving fans a taste of what’s to come, the band is now ready to announce their upcoming EP: “Let the World Burn” - their first original release since 1993’s ”Nothing to Gain”!

The wait is over – international metal stars Alien Weaponry have returned with a vengeance, announcing the release of their fervid upcoming sophomore release, “Tangaroa”, out on September 17th, 2021, via Napalm Records!
 

While the pandemic paralyzed the entire world and prevented bands from touring, Latin America’s biggest metal export Sepultura refused to sit back and act like an animal trapped in a cage.

The countdown to July 18th, the 40th anniversary of thrash/metal legends Anthrax is well underway and heading towards the big finale. A special worldwide livestream event, presented by Danny Wimmer Presents and originating from Los Angeles, will kick off in the UK on Saturday July 17th, 2021, starting at Midnight BST. Check out the trailer below.

Here’s twelve more bands for you to consider, added to Thursday’s line-up on the New Blood stage, chosen from online submissions.
