Many of you are no doubt making your way home after another stunning year at Catton Park over the weekend, but Bloodstock is not a festival to rest on its laurels - far from it.
Announced over the weekend, the metal festival is set to celebrate its 25th anniversary next year, going from its humble beginnings as an indoor festival to the huge event it has become in recent years (we did a piece on its history, if you fancied a read), and organisers have already announced 25 acts confirmed to be part of next year’s celebrations.
Pre-sale tickets to the event, set to be held from August 6 to 9, are already available - so if any of the 25 announced acts we’ve listed in our gallery take your interest, don’t delay and act now by visiting See Tickets from today.
So, who is set to fill Derbyshire with their cacophony next Bloodstock Open Air?
