FINAL UPDATE ON BLOODSTOCK 2023


With the sun shining, and dare we say it, the weather forecast looking good, the final site preparations are underway for everyone to blast through the (un)holy gates of BLOODSTOCK from tomorrow! BLOODSTOCK has a final update for you with some last minute band news and a couple of special events on site.

Firstly, the festival is very disappointed to share that HELLOWEEN have been forced to pull out of their set on Sunday. The band said, “The heavy storms in Slovenia (our thoughts are with the flood victims) and cloudbursts in Wacken couldn’t harm us – we played all our scheduled shows and celebrated together with our loyal fans. Much more difficult for us is now to inform you that we have to cancel the upcoming festival gigs at the Hellsinki Metal Festival in Finland and Bloodstock Open Air in the UK due to an acute laryngitis our singer Michael Kiske is suffering of. We did make this decision with a lot of consideration and with heavy hearts but Michael’s condition unfortunately does not leave us any other choice. Thanks for your understanding.”
