Bloodstock 2020

[Andre91]

Vicky who books the bands for Bloodstock was backstage with Killswitch Engage last night so I think that’s one of the remaining headliners. What an excellent, overdue booking. I went to see them last night myself and they are on unstoppable form right now and the new songs sound just as massive as the classics. 

Some might grumble that they aren’t big enough but they are, really. Brixton is sold out tonight, Birmingham last night was sold out. They’re big enough to headline a festival Bloodstock’s size, especially when they fit their demographic perfectly.

Update: she has since tweeted that KSE aren’t playing Bloodstock.

I know you've already clarified it, but if Amon Amarth can headline Bloodstock then expectations on size can be lowered a bit.

Has anyone else heard anything about Helloween headlining this?

Seems the kind of thing that’d go down a treat at Bloodstock. Is it a legit rumour you’ve heard, then?

Yep. Although no idea how good the source is as they've never shared something like this before.

Announcement at 11am tomorrow I think

The Pantera bit should be good

The setlist they played when they did it earlier this year wasn't bad either.

Not sure I care for seeing that vile c**t.

You know, I'd completely forgotten about that.

Priest not a UK exclusive basically confirms they will be at download for me

Behemoth are UK exclusive but I really don't like them.

 

Completely forgot about the Anselmo stuff

I don’t think there’s any real chance that Priest play Download too.

Is the Anselmo complaints about the white power shit he use to say or is there a new controversary?

His racism is still very much the controversy.

Not usually but the twitter announcement highlighted Behemoth as a UK festival exclusive but said nothing about Priest. Not sure where else Priest would turn up other than download

I'm not sure how serious the person was, but I've seen Priest suggested as the band for Glasto's 'rock slot'.

I guess that would make a fair bit of sense as they both share a 50th birthday.

[devilman]

Priest aren't a UK exclusive because they are in the middle of a suspended tour supporting Ozzy. That may start again in 2020.

[DomDom1984]

Behemoth are a fantastic headliner. As much as I just slated Phil, I'll likely still watch that. The Sunday looks like fucking filth. Might take my first trip.

How realistic is it that they'd headline Other on the Sunday?

can't see that happening at all, but that's just my take on things.

[Andre91]

Devin Townsend / Skindred / Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals / Dark Tranquility / Sacred Reich 

Behemoth / Opeth / Paradise Lost / Vio-lence / Jinjer 

Judas Priest / Dimmu Borgir / Gloryhammer / The Black Dahlia Murder / Life of Agony 

 

I think that’s looks pretty damn excellent. I’ve added in Opeth and Dimmu who I think could sub. I’m half expecting Mayhem to play somewhere, too.
