Twisted Sister announce Bloodstock Festival headline slot

...and it'll be their last ever UK show.

Published 16th Oct 2015

Twisted Sister are the next headliners announced for Bloodstock Festival 2016, and it's set to be their last ever UK date.

As part of their 'Farewell 1976 - 2016' tour, the band will headline the Friday night at the Catton Park event next August.

Guitarist Jay Jay French comments: "Our journey in the UK that began in Wrexham in 1982, ends with Bloodstock 2016! Without the recognition that we received from our UK fans, the world would never have known nor would we ever have reached our 40 year milestone!"

The announcement of the band's farewell tour follows the sad passing of their drummer AJ Pero earlier this year.

Other acts already confirmed for the festival include Saturday headliners Mastodon and Friday special guests Behemoth and Venom, who were announced on stage during this year's event.

Bloodstock 2016 takes place from 11th-14th August in Derbyshire. Early bird weekend tickets are on sale now via Kerrang! Radio Tickets!
