Joining Judas Priest, Saxon, and a growing army of metal mayhem
Hold onto your leather jackets, metalheads โ Bloodstock Open Air 2026 just dropped another monster announcement, and itโs heavier than a dragonโs breakfast. ๐๐ธ
Leading the charge? None other than Zakk Wyldeโs riff-lord army, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, who are set to storm Catton Park next August! Expect thunderous grooves, whiskey-soaked solos, and the kind of guitar tone that could strip paint off your campervan. ๐ฅโก
๐ค THE NEW BLOOD ADDED TO THE BILL
In true Bloodstock fashion, itโs not just one big name โ itโs a whole barrage of brutality. Joining the already stacked line-up (which includes Judas Priest, Saxon, and Body Count) are these absolute beasts:
๐ฅ Black Label Society โ Zakk Wylde and crew bringing the southern sludge and biker grit.
โ๏ธ Enslaved โ Norwayโs progressive black metal icons, ready to summon the fjords.
๐บ Powerwolf โ Expect gothic choirs, church organs, and capes flapping in full power metal glory.
๐ Malevolence โ Sheffieldโs finest bringing the hardcore-meets-metalcore chaos.
๐งโโ๏ธ Uada โ The hooded black metal mystics from Portland, ready to unleash darkness.
โก Orbit Culture โ Swedenโs melodic death metal juggernaut โ think Gojira meets In Flames.
๐บ Red Fang โ Fuzzy stoner grooves and riffs you could surf on.
๐ Venom Inc. โ The OG black metal pioneers, bringing hellfire to the Dio Stage.
๐ฅ Unto Others โ Post-punk meets doom in glorious gloomy fashion.
