Bloodstock Open Air organisers have today revealed the names of four more artists who will play at this year’s festival.

Bloodstock will take place at Catton Park, Derbyshire, on August 6-9, with Judas Priest, Behemoth and Devin Townsend previously announced as the main stage headline acts, while artists including Saxon, Orange Goblin, Conjurer, Hatebreed, Bury Tomorrow and Unleash The Archers also set to perform.

It was previously revealed that The Night Flight Orchestra would headline Thursday’s opening night party – and today it’s been confirmed that they’ll be joined on the day by  Nekrogoblikon, The Crawling, Raised By Owls and Bournemouth’s Metal 2 The Masses winner Anakim.
