Bloodstock partner up with mental health charity Mind for this year's festival.

There’s something distinctly cool about not putting bands who are essentially carbon copies of one another on tour together. It wasn’t until recently that pop-punk bands brought pop-punk bands and metal bands supported metal bands, and it turned into a weird clique where one couldn’t sit with the other. The point is, when you look at Static Dress, Chamber, Can’t Swim and Counterparts on paper, you question why they’d be on tour together, but when you see them live, hardcore elements overlapping despite their sound being very different from each other, it feels like kismet.

Beach Slang, Demob Happy, Spanish Love Songs and more have been confirmed.

God Damn have been making waves this month with the release of their self-titled album, which they recorded live over the course of just a few days with the legendary Sylvia Massy. We caught five minutes with God Damn in the midst of their UK tour with Baba Naga to find out more about the band's formation, what they want to achieve and more.

Thursday main stage headliners Chelsea Wolfe and many more confirmed in this latest announcement.

Biff Byford and his band Saxon were one of the first bands to spearhead the 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal' movement towards the end of the ‘70s. So what do you do when you’ve been the vocalist of one of the finest heavy metal bands, for over 40 years? You make a solo record, of course! We recently caught up with Biff to talk all about his debut solo album, 'School of Hard Knocks'.
