Lamb of God, and Mercyful Fate to headline Bloodstock 2022

Lamb of God, and Mercyful Fate will be two of the three headline acts for next year's Bloodstock, the independent metal festival which takes place at Catton Hall, Walton-on-Trent, in South Derbyshire between Thursday 11th until Sunday 14th August 2022. The first acts were announced live on the main stage of last weekend's event with the crowd cheering each name as they were revealed.

Saturday's main stage headliner will be the previously announced for this year, King Diamond-fronted, heavy metal icons Mercyful Fate, who roll up a year late after global issues prevented their appearance at this year's festival. The band said: "MERCYFUL FATE comes to BLOODSTOCK…this will be a dangerous meeting you don't want to miss. King Diamond says, "This time we are going to bring the Devil himself."

Frontman of Sunday headliners, Lamb of God, Randy Blythe said: "It's been way too long since we've rocked the festivals of Merry Olde - what better way to announce our return than a headliner slot at BLOODSTOCK? Until then, pack your wellies and stay safe, England - LAMB OF GOD (and Roger Brilliant) will see you Summer 2022!"

Bloodstock festival will take place from  at Catton Hall, Walton-on-Trent, in South Derbyshire. The aim is to offer a traditional metal event comparable to those regularly seen in Europe and capture the spirit of the original Monsters Of Rock shows which used to take place at Castle Donington during the 1980's and 1990's.
