At last month’s\u00a0Bloodstock Open Air Festival<\/strong>, organisers revealed the first round of bands for its 2024 event<\/a>. Amongst the names announced were headliners Architects<\/strong> and\u00a0Amon Amarth<\/strong>. Now, today the latest crop of bands for next year’s festival have been announced, including Friday night Ronnie James Dio stage headliners –\u00a0Opeth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Swedish progressive band will be playing a very special fan-chosen set in what will be their only UK date of 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo\u2026back to BLOODSTOCK 2024 for us, it appears! I don\u2019t remember how many times we\u2019ve played the festival, but we do have fond memories from there. \u201dFilling in\u201d for Heaven and Hell when RJD had passed is one. Fuck! Can\u2019t remember a more emotional event on stage for us, to be honest. Anyhoooo, we\u2019ll be there \u2018rocking\u2019 and \u2018rolling\u2019 in our own way, playing songs that you\u2019ve chosen (apparently). Please be gentle. Right now I feel pretty far from being a ROCKER, as I\u2019m writing this sat in my (favourite) greasy sweatpants, and my hair is greasier than ever. “I\u2019m working, you see. But I promise I\u2019ll have a look in the mirror before we hit the stage,” c<\/em>ommented Opeth <\/strong>frontman Mikael Akerfeldt. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“The band will be tight (that\u2019s also a promise). I\u2019ll sing OK (semi-promise). You\u2019ll recognise the songs (I really have no idea, but you picked them!) and, we\u2019ll be IN. THE. ZONE! All in all, providing the weather\u2019s nice and the beer is cold, the possibilities for a magical night are rather decent. Wouldn\u2019t you say? Hope to see (and hear) you there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Another name announced for the main stage on Friday is\u00a0Hatebreed<\/strong> who will be celebrating their 30th Anniversary.<\/p>\n

The other additions are Avant-garde prog extremists Enslaved<\/strong>, Finnish power metallers Beast In Black<\/strong>, Bay Area thrash veterans Forbidden<\/strong>, and a double dose of Brazilian metal courtesy of\u00a0Nervosa<\/strong>, and Crypta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In related news, at the time of writing, 90% of early bird tickets have been sold.<\/p>\n

Once the discounted Early Bird allocation has gone, standard weekend tickets will increase in price to \u00a3185 (+ bkg fee), so grab yours and save yourself \u00a320.<\/p>\n
