The organizers of Bloodstock Festival have issued a minor schedule adjustment for the Saturday lineup alongside details regarding the site’s non-musical activities and green initiatives.
Due to logistical reasons, Of Mice & Men and Death Angel will now perform on the Sophie Lancaster stage. Concurrently, Nevermore and Urne have moved to the Ronnie James Dio main stage. The overall roster of performing artists remains unchanged.
This year’s Battle Arena schedule introduces several new features, including Pillow Fight Club, a tournament-style competition held daily at 4:30 PM. The interactive events continue with the Hellbent Hoedown at 2:30 PM each day, offering line-dancing sessions set to music by Trivium.
Additional arena programming includes an extreme vocal workshop led by singer and vocal coach Shay Hochberg on Saturday at 12:00 PM, focusing on safe screaming and growling techniques. Daily morning RockFit fitness classes will also return at 10:30 AM.
The festival has also confirmed the return of The 100 initiative, a random draw open to all weekend ticket holders. Fifty winners and their guests will receive backstage tours, dedicated laminate lanyards, and access to a private chill-out area.
In the RAM Gallery, festival founder Paul Gregory will exhibit his large-scale oil painting, Morannon, for the first time in over two decades. The gallery will also feature a dedicated Judas Priest memorabilia wall—including stage attire and a custom themed guitar—alongside artwork from up-and-coming creator Empirical Malum and a custom painting of Alex Terrible by Danny Edwards.
On-site updates include the launch of the Preo online store for advance item collection, expanded locker facilities with charging ports across multiple campsites, and a cup redemption scheme at Lemmy’s Bar offering prizes such as festival tickets and signed merchandise.
Bloodstock Festival 2026 takes place at Catton Park, Derbyshire from 6 August to 9 August. While weekend tickets are sold out, day tickets remain available.
