Judas Priest and Behemoth will join Devin Townsend as Bloodstock 2020 headliners with Priest headlining on Sunday 9th, Behemoth on Saturday 8th and Devin on Friday 7th.
Metal legends Priest are celebrating ’50 Heavy Metal Years’ in a year when Bloodstock celebrates 20 years and the band enthuse about next year’s headline show:
“Horns up Bloodstock – the Priest is back to headline the 20th year of Bloodstock with our ’50 Heavy Metal Years’ anniversary show!! A double barrel, once in a lifetime, blast of Metal mania 2020….!!”
You can watch a special message from the inimitable Rob Halford right here:
The mighty Behemoth’s Saturday headline slot will be a UK festival exclusive for 2020. Having wowed fans across the globe with their phenomenal set on both Slayer’s final US tour and Slipknot’s current Knotfest Roadshow, the Polish Metal heavyweights will be upping the stakes by bringing their biggest and best production to date.
Charismatic frontman Nergal tells us:
“BLOODSTOCK! The hallowed lands of Catton Park will once again host our Fiendish Festivities. This is Behemoth’s first UK festival headline and that will be celebrated in the only way we know how; Hell will be raised, blood will be shed, and magick will descend! We shall see you there Legions!”
