Bloodstock complete 2009 line-up; tickets to be won

With the additions of Eden’s Curse, Blitzkrieg and Xerath the 2009 Bloodstock festival line-up, headlined by Cradle of Filth, Blind Guardian, Europe, Carcass and Arch Enemy, is complete.

Despite the cancellations of GWAR and Fear Factory, 2009 is one of the strongest bills in the festival’s history, also including the first UK performance from thrash legends Sodom for 20 years, Swedish doom pioneers Candlemass, English NWOBHM favourites Saxon, Kreator, Die Apocalyptischen Reiter, Satyricon, Moonspell, Apocalyptica, Entombed and Anathema.

Full festival details can be found here.

The second stage at this year’s event has been renamed to the Sophie Lancaster Stage, in memory of metal fan Sophie Lancaster who was murdered in 2007, and to promote the S.O.P.H.I.E. Campaign, for which they have produced a wristband fans can purchase for £2 from the festival website. For further details, click here.
