Bloodstock Festival Announce Replacement Saturday Night Headliner

Bloodstock is working to bring you the very best Metal party possible during August 2021, but due to the ongoing issues and restrictions surrounding Covid-19, a number of overseas bands are no longer able to be at Catton Park namely Mercyful Fate, Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, Butcher Babies, Life Of Agony, Sacred Reich, Necrot, Exhumed and Unto Others.

Their iconic frontman, King Diamond [pictured] had this to say ”Due to the uncertainties of international touring logistics, health and safety issues, Mercyful Fate are unable to perform at Bloodstock 2021. Unfortunately, most of our Summer touring is already postponed or postponing soon. Like many others in our position we’re amending our plans to get back on the road as soon as possible. We’re gutted. However, we are happy to say that we’ve worked with the Bloodstock Organisers and report that we will be back to Headline the festival in Summer 2022. Until then, Stay Heavy and Stay Safe.”

Kreator will replace Mercyful Fate as Saturday’s Ronnie James Dio main stage Headliner in a UK Festival exclusive.

Frontman Mille Petrozza [pictured] says ”We are very excited to Headline the Bloodstock festival for the first time! This means a lot to Kreator since all the previous shows we have played there were exceptional! We promise you the most brutal show Bloodstock has ever seen! Be prepared!.”

Bloodstock 2021 takes place at Catton Park, Derbyshire from 11th-15th August 2021.
