Behemoth And Judas Priest Are Headlining Bloodstock 2020

Bloodstock have revealed that Judas Priest and Behemoth are the final two headliners of Bloodstock festival next year.

The mighty Judas Priest will headline the Sunday night of Bloodstock, as part of the band's 50 year anniversary.

“Horns up Bloodstock!" say the band. "The Priest is back to headline the 20th year of Bloodstock with our 50 Heavy Metal Years anniversary show! A double barrel, once in a lifetime, blast of metal mania!”

And if that's not enough metal for you, blackened death metal icons Behemoth will headline the Saturday night in Derbyshire.

"The hallowed lands of Catton Park will once again host our fiendish festivities," says Behemoth frontman Nergal. "This is Behemoth's first UK festival headline, which will be celebrated in the only way we know how: hell will be raised, blood will be shed, and magick will descend! We shall see you there, Legions!”

Check out the special message from Priest's Rob Halford below.

Behemoth and Judas Priest join the previously announced Friday night headliner Devin Townsend, plus Skindred, The Black Dahlia Murder, Vio-Lence, Paradise Lost, Life Of Agony and more.

Bloodstock takes place at Catton Park, Derbyshire on August 6-9, 2020. Get your tickets now.
