Bloodstock Open Air transforms Catton Park in Walton-on-Trent, Derbyshire DE12 8LN into the UK’s premier destination for heavy metal each August. This independent festival draws a devoted community for multiple days of riffs, camaraderie and camping, offering an electric atmosphere that feels both epic and welcoming. Expect a finely tuned sound system, efficient layouts and plenty of space to roam between stages and amenities.
The Ronnie James Dio main stage delivers the big moments, the Sophie Lancaster stage hosts cutting-edge sets under canvas and the New Blood stage champions emerging talent sourced from Metal 2 the Masses. Past headliners include Judas Priest, Megadeth, Amon Amarth, Sabaton, Gojira and Lamb of God, with stacked line-ups that span classic icons and modern titans. Festival comforts are thoughtfully covered: expansive campsites, VIP upgrades, real ale bars, diverse food traders, a bustling market and late-night entertainment.
Getting there is straightforward via the A38 and A42, with nearby rail connections at Burton-on-Trent and Tamworth, plus on-site parking. Accessibility provisions such as viewing platforms and dedicated camping help more fans experience the show. Whether it’s your first pit or your annual pilgrimage, Bloodstock Open Air keeps the metal spirit alive in a stunning parkland setting.
