Behemoth announced as final Bloodstock 2022 headliner; more bands added to line-up

Following their XXX Years Ov Blasphemy Halloween livestream, Behemoth have just confirmed a huge show for next year: headlining the Friday night of Bloodstock.

“Bloodstock has a very special place in Behemoth's heart," enthuses frontman Nergal. "They are one of the first major European metal festivals who took risks to position Behemoth as a festival headliner; a game changer for us in the UK! I can’t wait to get back onto the legendary grounds of Catton Park and raise some monumental hell with our legions! Until August!"
