Four more bands have been confirmed for Bloodstock Festival 2014, with hardcore legends Biohazard, Revamp, Israeli progressive metallers Orphaned Land and Belgian death metal outfit Aborted joining the line up for the Derbyshire metal fest.
Friday night’s headliners are New Orleans sludgemeisters, Down. Joining them to head up Saturday night are black metal overlords, Emperor and closing out proceedings on Sunday are the mighty thrash legends, Megadeth.

In addition to the heavyweights, Bloodstock firmly believes in supporting the grass roots of the genre and helping grow the new wave of metal bands. Their Metal 2 The Masses programme is a key part of that and the 2014 scheme is go! There’s still time to sign up your - or your favourite unsigned local band - to one of the regional heats and maybe win a chance at playing at this year’s festival! Full details on the various locations for the heats and who to contact to enter are available here.
