One hour five minutes

Said on the last Facebook Live around lunchtime, but they'll probably go for as late as they think they can get away with

Vicky said on Twitter that set times will be announced on the Monday of the festival week.

I politely enquired why, when the details must be with the laminate printers by then, saying giving them even the Friday would give people the weekend to plan.

Shockingly, no reply...

That's the first one in my eleven years of going to Bloodstock that I'd even consider. Not sure I'd buy it still tho

The Ghost Rider one, however, is up to their normal fucking awful standard

People not being particularly imaginative when talking about the 90s. It could include: Emperor Carcass At The Gates Cathedral Anathema Opeth Paradise Lost Strapping Young Lad Monster Magnet Immortal Plus more rock-y bands like Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Faith No More etc and other stuff like Sla...

And IF Slayer are playing BOA, they wont be announced at the festival as they'll still have tickets to shift for their tour

I do think Slayer are calling it quits, but that this winter's shows are the last headlining shows, and then they'll do a final festival run in the summer

Let’s hope Slayer do Download as a farewell instead.

And here come all the tedious Manowar rumours the for next 6 months or so

I'd be very surprised if the second stage bands don't move around a bit in order yet (they usually do), and they often nudge the times around too, so I wouldn't take too much from this yet

Yeah and from the email they sent round, think it might be all the Sophie slots too, except the Thursday

Heard good things about A Forest of Stars, so will have to check them out

The rest - meh

Usually 11

Have a horrible feeling it will be Code Orange. One of the worst bands I've ever seen - really don't get it

Really don't get Cannibal Corpse, most uninspired, boring Death Metal band around. Always thought they are famous more for the song titles than their music

Bleed From Within also shite, but at least less danger of a good band clashing with Emperor now

Fucking terrible band
