BLOODSTOCK 2027 ANNOUNCEMENT 🔥 27 bands revealed for Bloodstock 2027
With BLOODSTOCK 2026 underway and on target for another record-breaking year, festival HQ have just revealed the first bands for 2027.
You can snap up tickets IMMEDIATELY at the main box office on site this weekend at an Early bird price of £210, saving yourself the booking fee!
Early Bird tickets go online at 9AM on Monday 10th August at https://bloodstock.seetickets.com
🔥 On Friday night, your Ronnie James Dio main stage headliners are MERCYFUL FATE - the Danish legends who helped invent heavy metal theatrics, King Diamond's falsetto still as unholy as ever. King Diamond has a little update for you, declaring, “Mercyful Fate is honored and looking extremely forward to playing BLOODSTOCK again, last time was awesome, and this time with a brand new album out, FINALLY!!!”
🔥 Saturday night parties hard in a totally different fashion, though with no less chaos, as Electric Callboy headline BLOODSTOCK for the very first time. German metalcore collides with EDM and full-blown comedy for one of the wildest and most fun live shows in modern metal. Expect Catton Park jumping in unison like it's a rave that wandered into a mosh pit. The band say, “Our first ever Bloodstock. Heavy music, questionable outfits, and thousands of metalheads? Sounds like a Perfect fit to us. We’re in. See you there!”
🔥 Sunday night closes out with another brand new headliner for BLOODSTOCK, gothic-industrial metalcore giants Motionless In White, delivering eye-poppin theatrical spectacle two decades in. Chris Motionless leads the charge, turning every note into the catchiest horror movie you can mosh to. Having caught their dazzling last tour, the band go from strength to strength and we can only imagine what plans are afoot for this headline set. Chris Motionless states, “Bloodstock! We were told that we are one of the most requested bands to perform at your legendary festival, so it is with great honor to announce that we are answering the call and will be seeing you next year for our first ever European festival headlining show, and only U.K. show of 2027! Thank you so much! Let the countdown begin.”
Over on the Sophie Lancaster stage
🔥Thursday headliners MADBALL are set to pulverize your opening night with 35+ years of pure New York hardcore under their belt. Freddy Cricien's crew still hits as hard as they did back in '89, no gimmicks.
🔥 Friday’s closing slot goes to the mysterious GAEREA, black metal that's grown more cinematic and crushing with every record.
🔥 Kanonenfieber march into Saturday’s top spot: Noise’s German war machine turning WWI diaries into blackened death metal, think trench warfare rendered in sound.
🔥 To close it out, as the very final band of the festival, Dethklok - born from the animated series Metalocalypse, now a real band tearing through brutally serious, melodic death metal live. They may have had cartoon origins but they bring dead-serious riffs you won’t want to miss.
Here’s a few more you can look forward to seeing on the Ronnie James Dio stage over the festival…
🔥 Friday special guests Acid Bath crawl from the Louisiana bayou, sludge metal pioneers blending doom, blues, and southern gothic dread.
🔥 Saturday special guests GREEN LUNG conjure folk-horror occult rock, all Hammer-film atmosphere and fuzzed-out riffs… witchy, heavy, and a little unhinged.
🔥 Sunday special guests Children Of Bodom return to honor the legacy of the late Alexi Laiho, celebrating the melodic death metal sound that made them Finnish icons.
🔥 The patient are rewarded…DevilDriver finally return, their dark, groove-laden California metal led by Dez Fafara's signature growl and perfect for record numbers of circle pits.
🔥 The legendary Corrosion Of Conformity roll in, over 40 years deep into a sound that fuses hardcore punk roots with Sabbath-soaked southern metal.
🔥 Imminence bring Swedish alternative metalcore, all soaring choruses wrapped around crushing breakdowns.
🔥 A booking set to delight many - Wind Rose , Italian folk-power metal built for fantasy battles and beer-hall singalongs.
🔥 Sylosis wield UK thrash-meets-melodic-death precision, courtesy of Josh Middleton's relentless riffing.
🔥 Decapitated offer up Polish technical death metal with riffs sharp enough to earn respect from the genre's toughest critics.
🔥 WITCH CLUB SATAN could be your new favourites, an all-female Norwegian black metal coven turning theatre training into confrontational, ritualistic chaos.
🔥 HammerFall bring the true steel - Swedish power metal at its most anthemic. Fellow Swedes, death metal originators
🔥 Hypocrisy are still delivering a masterclass three decades in.
🔥 You can also see The Halo Effect, ex-In Flames members returning to the classic Gothenburg melodic death metal sound that built the genre.
🔥 Former BLOODSTOCK stage breakers (yes, we remember) Tortured Demon are set to give it another go with their pedigree thrash.
🔥 Are you ready for GUTALAX? Czech goregrind degenerates who've built a career on toilet humor and blast beats.
🔥 Humanity's Last Breath also join the bill, Swedish deathcore architects of the crushing, low-tuned "thall" sound.
🔥 Liverpool's self-proclaimed masters of "caveman battle doom" Conan ntend to heft riffs so heavy they practically have their own gravitational pull.
The Sophie stage will be just as varied. Here’s three more treats you can expect in the big tent!
🔥 DOOL slink in, in a haze of candlelight and doom, weaving in dark rock and post-rock into something hypnotic straight out of Rotterdam plus they’ve just finished writing a new album.
🔥 Things get ugly (in the best way) with Pig Destroyer, Virginia grindcore legends who'll turn your skull inside out with blast beats and JR Hayes' nightmarish lyrics.
🔥 If you haven’t discovered them yet, you soon will - Fulci rise from the grave with old-school death metal soaked in zombie-flick gore, every album a tribute to horror icon Lucio Fulci.
