Bloodstock Open Air (www.bloodstock.uk.com) is scheduled to take place August 16th - 18th at Catton Hall in Derbyshire, England.

Organizers have issued the following update:

"For the past few weeks we have been receiving emails from Bloodstock fans asking if and when day tickets will be released for this years Bloodstock Open Air Metal Festival.

We were undecided whether or not to release day tickets as we have capped this year’s attendance at 7000, but due to the large number of tickets already sold for this years Bloodstock Open Air Metal Festival, we will NOT be releasing day tickets.

We have always aimed to have a Metal Festival that offers superb bands, great atmosphere and does not cost the earth, with this years festival being held over three days and showcasing some of the BEST metal bands to date we know we have THE Best Metal Festival in the UK!

Due to the low ticket price and huge exposure the festival has been receiving from fans, media and bands alike the tickets have been selling at record levels this YEAR .

If you are still to buy your ticket we urge all fans to act sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment."
