With a line-up boasting headline appearances from CHILDREN OF BODOM, FEAR FACTORY, TWISTED SISTER, plus a special guest slot filled by MESHUGGAH, BLOODSTOCK can now confirm the final headline slot for BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2010. The Friday night will be closed by Swedish Prog-Metal superstars OPETH, who headlined back in 2008."We're pretty excited about coming back to play the Bloodstock festival with Opeth" States frontman Mikael Akerfeldt "Myself and Axe will of course be double-fisting since we gonna cause some havoc with Bloodbath as well. We got asked to play since Heaven & Hell cancelled and even though we obviously feel that we cannot possibly match their magic or fill the void, it will be like a personal tribute show to the memory of Ronnie Dio. So needless to say I'm honoured to play, it will be intimidating and emotional I believe. We'll deliver as usual of course but yeah, I will be thinking about Dio, that's for sure."
Since 1990 OPETH have dazzled audiences with their unique blend of death metal, prog and folk, earning a diverse fan base through the use of both electric and acoustic guitars, and clean and growled vocals. Their 2008 headline slot earned the band rave reviews across the music press, for a performance that had the assembled mass of metalheads captivated with their intricate, beautifully executed compositions. With special guests MESHUGGAH preceding OPETH's headline slot, we look forward to an awesome close to the first full day of BOA 2010 on Friday 13th August.
