As the nights get longer and the joy of sharing the summer with your metal brethren at BLOODSTOCK creeps further away, why not relive the glory via BLOODSTOCK’s official YouTube channel, which is continually posting live clips and full sets from this year’s fang-tastic event?! Take a look, we dare you…
With Halloween around the corner, the Duke of Spook himself, WEDNESDAY 13, is next up to bat. His ghoulishly good headline set on the Sophie Lancaster Stage will be streaming in full on the channel from 7pm on October 30th.
Expect a macabre party celebrating a career that spans his solo material, Murderdolls, and Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13. It kicks off with “When The Devil Commands” and features “Summertime Suicide”, fiendish japes including sweeties chucked from a pumpkin during “Scare Me To Death”, and a heartfelt dedication of “Nowhere” to the late Joey Jordison.
Wednesday 13 enthuses, “What an amazing experience we had at Bloodstock 2026! Playing festivals is always an honor, but to be able to play in the cover of darkness made it even better for us. The crowd was so energetic and loud – we couldn’t have asked for a better show and response from our UK fans!”

While you’re waiting for that treat, you can feast today, right this minute, on a brand new LAMB OF GOD clip from their headline set at Catton Park this summer: “Blunt Force Blues (Live At Bloodstock)”, remixed especially. The studio version of the track is on their latest album, Into Oblivion, released earlier this year.
And what a set it was! Headlining the Ronnie James Dio Stage on the Friday, the Richmond, Virginia titans returned to Catton Park for a third time, and wasted no time proving why. Opener “Ruin” arrived in thunderous fashion, followed by a quick-fire “Laid To Rest” and “Now You’ve Got Something To Die For”, with pyro galore lighting up the night and banger after banger following. Frontman D. Randall Blythe was on typically charismatic form, goading BLOODSTOCKers good-naturedly and even unleashing his British alter ego, Roger Brilliant, for good measure.
It was a career-spanning masterclass in how to headline a festival, and one worth reliving again and again. BLOODSTOCK will help you with that… keep your eyes peeled, because their full set will be coming to the channel in due course.
Also coming up in the weeks ahead: JUDAS PRIEST, SEPULTURA, and BLEED FROM WITHIN, to name just three of many! Make sure you subscribe here so you don’t miss any of the actiion.
