Due to the lower key build up than usual, I’m guessing a load of Sophie bands
Given the lack of big names of the main stage, any announcement now isn't even worth a build-up. But you're probably right - a bunch of pub bands nobody's heard of for the 2nd stage most likely.
God, Bloodstock really know how to take momentum and throw it down the drain, I used to see news of announcement and be excited or at the very least intrigued, and in the past few years, after the first 2 or 3 announcements it's just not worth caring any more

Well the announcement is describing them in a very bad way then, anything that's described as hardcore punk is a massive turn off for me.

they are one of the most though provoking bands lyric content (sexual assult at gigs, abortion, dog breeding, femenism) wise and yeah they have hardcore elements...but to me they are a post black metal band.
proud af they on the main but should really be on the sophie because of all the intricate bits and slower passages
