Didn't Heart of a Coward headline tech-fest last year?

I reckon they haven't been selling as many tickets as they thought they would and they needed Akercocke as an exclusive

I'm thinking that we'll get a Sabaton and Amon Amarth co-headliner, I don't think either are quite big enough to do it by themselves but together they could get away with it, personally i'd love to see that but I can understand that a lot of you may disagree. Either way, just throwing it out there.

Bloodstock's facebook page sure do seem to be giving Abbath's London show a lot of hype, I'm thinking they'll announce him playing within a couple of weeks

Both Vicky and Simon Hall seem pretty excited about a recent booking according to various social medias, could be someone who has never played before?

This is where I read it, they could be wrong though

So that makes 3 bands playing albums in full over the weekend, interesting

Found this doing a couple of quick google searches, could be legit?

Starting to get the horrible feeling that Marilyn Manson is the final headliner, not based on any evidence at all but still, can someone try and convince me otherwise please?

Remember the Metal Hammer review for Avantasia at Bloodstock 2013? "This should have been Gojira's slot", guess Bloodstock took that to heart.

I'd be down for Twisted Sister, so long as they're headlining the Friday night, as I'm still holding onto the possibility of Priest headlining Sunday

I'd be surprised if Arch Enemy were special guests, let alone headlining

Well they'll be miffed when they find out its a heavy metal festival!
