BLOODSTOCK has today announced their first 2016 headliner; Atlanta’s mighty beasts, MASTODON.
They will headline the Saturday night at the festival, held at Catton Park in Derbyshire.
Loved and respected by critics, music fans, and their peers, this will be MASTODON’s first performance at the festival.
The band’s current album, ‘Once More Round The Sun’ picked up stellar reviews on its release last year and landed at Number 10 on the UK album chart; their UK career high.
The band are currently getting ready to play Knotfest in the US before heading out on tour with Judas Priest across the States. Check out their cat-tastic video for ‘Asleep In The Deep’ here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=8&v=zBXWBj7hIzg
"Since day one, nobody has embraced Mastodon better than the UK has,” said bassist Troy Sanders.
“Thank you for inviting us to our first festival headlining slot at Bloodstock 2016! We will not disappoint."
Bloodstock will announce its second headliner later this week...
