Bloodstock is already well on its way to hosting its strongest line up next
summer having secured their first Headliner - legendary shock Rocker ALICE
COOPER at his only UK festival appearance of 2012. Add to this BEHEMOTH, as
well as DIMMU BORGIR, HATEBREED, ANVIL and another 90 ROCK AND METAL bands
to be announced, this will most definitely be the biggest Metal gathering on
UK soil.

Held at the picturesque location of Walton on Trent in Derbyshire, B-O-A has
won the hearts and minds of fans of heavy ROCK AND METAL across the globe.
You can expect some 12,000 metal heads descending on Derbyshire in August
