On the Ronnie James Dio main stage, grindcore & melodic death metal pioneers Carcass land Sunday’s special guest slot.The “most influential band out of Merseyside since The Beatles” released their current studio album, ‘Torn Arteries’ in 2021 via Nuclear Blast to colossal acclaim.

Black metal icons, Satyricon will return to the stage for the first time in 5 years to headline Sunday’s Sophie Lancaster stage.In what are becoming increasingly rare appearances, frontman Satyr informs us: “The way Satyricon’s attitude has resonated with English fans throughout our journey as a band, has made us feel that playing there isn’t so much a visit, but rather a homecoming. Having decided to do only a few select shows, we can’t go everywhere, but fortunately there are a few places our hearts seem to take us, one way or the other. Like England.
The mighty Sylosis steam into a Saturday slot on the Sophie stage.Their latest album, A Sign Of Things To Come landed in September and the Brit metal heavyweights told us, “We can’t wait to be back at Bloodstock! We’ve had some amazing shows over the years, but it feels like next year is going to be really special!”
