Listen To This Epic Bloodstock Playlist On Your Way To The Festival

The heavy metal extravaganza that is Bloodstock rolls into town once more this weekend. Well, actually it starts on Thursday (August 8) for the hardcore fans, but from August 9-11 the grounds of Catton Park will be home to thousands of dedicated headbangers, metalheads, moshers and everyone else who loves their music with a touch of heavy.

If you're driving to Bloodstock, or just fancy listening to two hours of bona fide metal bangers, then we've got the ultimate playlist for you. 25 tracks from 25 different bands playing across the weekend, it's best served loud with a side-order of METAL HORNS IN THE SKY.

From headliners Parkway Drive, Sabaton and Scorpions, to the likes of Cancer Bats, Batushka, Thy Art Is Murder and Anthrax, this is the certified best playlist of all the killer music coming to Bloodstock this weekend.
