Folk/pagan metallers Finntroll will return to Bloodstock after last appearing back in 2007.

Joining them will be fellow Finnish folk-freaks Wintersun who were forced to pull out of the 2009 event to complete their still to be released 'Time' album, expected later this year.

The third new addition is reformed US Thrash legends Forbidden who came back together in 2008 for the first time in 12 years, and released their first album in over 13 years, 'Omega Wave', last October.

They join a line-up that sees W.A.S.P., Immortal, and Motorhead headlining the weekend of Friday 12th until Sunday 14th August 2011 at Catton Hall, Walton-on-Trent, in South Derbyshire. With Rhapsody Of Fire, Devin Townsend Project, Kreator, Napalm Death, Nevermore, Morbid Angel, Exodus, Coroner, Therion, Triptykon, Angelwitch, Lawnmower Deth, October File, The Rotted, At The Gates, and many more announced.

As well as the international heavy metal bands across three stages, Bloodstock offers a large selection of merchandise stalls, metal karaoke, a campsite and a wide selection of food and bars.

Tickets are on sale priced at £105 for adults, and £11 for a car parking pass. Day tickets, and child tickets are expected to be on sale at a later date.
