Bloodstock Festival 2016 is already looking like it is going to be a very special event. On top of the already announced Mastodon, Twisted Sister (Last ever UK show), Behemoth (performing The Satanist in full) and the legendary Venom, the festival have today announced the addition of three more very special bands.

Joining the line up are Paradise Lost, Dragonforce and Rotting Christ!

Commenting on their addition, Greg Mackintosh from Paradise Lost had the following to say: "It is great to be confirmed to play Bloodstock 2016! We haven't played there since 2012 and we had a blast. It will also be our first UK festival appearance since the release of our new album, ‘The Plague Within’. We look forward to seeing you all there and adding the doom and gloom to Bloodstock 2016." to which guitarist Herman Li from Dragonforce added: "It’s been over 10 years since DragonForce played Bloodstock, and both of us have come a long way in that time... We had some of our best times that year at Bloodstock and felt great excitement at being invited to play."
