Amon Amarth and Architects Set to Headline Bloodstock Open Air 2024

Barely a day old and Bloodstock Open Air were already looking forward to next year as organisers announced 14 bands for the 2024 event which is set to take place from August 8th-11th at Catton Park, Derbyshire.

Amongst the 14 acts confirmed to appear were two of the headliners with Swedish Viking Metal titans Amon Amarth and British chart-toppers Architects confirmed to appear.

Speaking about their headline set, Amon Amarth’s Johann Hegg proclaims, “England! We are excited to be returning to the Bloodstock hallowed grounds to do battle with you and the Saxon hordes! We look forward to fighting and feasting with you! See you soon.”

Also appearing on the main stage across the weekend are Rotting Christ, Flogging Molly, Unleash The Archers, Night Flight Orchestra, Green Lung and Sceptic Flesh.
