Bloodstock confirms 12 more bands for 2023
Sacred Reich, Crowbar, Heaven Shall Burn and more added to the bill
Bloodstock has added another 12 acts to the bill for 2023’s festival, including thrash veterans Sacred Reich and sludge metal heavyweights Crowbar.
Having reformed for live shows in 2006, Sacred Reich finally released fifth studio album ‘Awakening’ in 2019 – their first since 1996’s ‘Heal’.
They will play the Ronnie James Dio main stage on Friday, alongside German extreme metallers Heaven Shall Burn and Seething Akira, who Bloodstock describe as an ‘electro nu-core squad’.
Sludge sluggers Crowbar will join the main stage line-up on the Saturday, as will hotly tipped London metal trio URNE.
All Hail The Yeti return to Bloostock for a main stage slot on Sunday. Dead Label and Mongolia’s UUHAI round off the new RJD stage announcements.
Watch: Sacred Reich – ‘Awakening’
Over on the Sophie Lancaster stage, Friday will see the festival welcoming Swedish metalheads Brothers Of Metal while gore grind merchants Gutalax fly in from the Czech Republic to liven up your Saturday.
Then on Sunday we have prog-metal supergroup Cobra The Impaler and North Yorkshire’s Invisions.
