Within Temptation are confirmed to headline the Saturday night slot at next summer's Bloodstock Open Air taking place from Thursday 6th until Sunday 9th August 2015 at Catton Hall, Walton-on-Trent, in South Derbyshire.

The Dutch megastars headlined in 2005, as their very first UK festival appearance and only second ever UK show. Frontwoman, Sharon den Adel, said, "We're thrilled to play Bloodstock again! We had such a great time before and can't wait to take 'Hydra' to the stage at Catton Park. It's a really exciting time for us right now and we're looking forward to bringing the fire!!"

They will be joined by Swedish progmeisters Opeth in the Saturday night special guest slot. For the line-up details as available please click here.

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