BLOODSTOCK ANNOUNCES SECRET SET + MORE BANDS

As Bloodstock draws closer, the festival have announced that there will be a “very, *very* special surprise set from an internationally renowned band” on Friday afternoon over on the Sophie Lancaster Stage.

While that’s all the clues they’ll give us, we’re pretty confident that you won’t want to miss it!

They’ve also announced a whole cohort of new bands that we can name:

SYLOSIS (replacing SACRED REICH, Main Stage, Saturday)

SISTER SHOTGUN (opening Sophie Lancaster Stage on Saturday as Planet Rock’s competition winners – congratulations!)

 

 

THUUM (Sophie Lancaster Stage, Thursday)

Bloodstock have also announced that alongside the ‘wear something pink’ initiative for Sylvia and The Sophie Lancaster Foundation on Sunday, Friday’s fancy dress theme for this year will be ‘Stranger Things’.
