Bloodstock announce replacement Saturday night headliner, add three more bands
As Mercyful Fate unfortunately pull out of Bloodstock 2021, the festival have announced the headliner’s replacement – as well as three more bands.
Words: Emily Carter
Though planned headliners Mercyful Fate have sadly had to pull out of this August’s Bloodstock (though they will be topping the bill at next year’s metal weekender), the festival have announced an awesome replacement for the Saturday night of the event: Kreator.
The German thrashers will now join Friday headliner Devin Townsend and Sunday evening’s Judas Priest, with frontman Mille Petrozza enthusing: “We are very excited to headline the Bloodstock festival for the first time! This means a lot to Kreator since all the previous shows we have played there were exceptional! We promise you the most brutal show Bloodstock has ever seen! Be prepared!”
