Bloodstock

Behemoth, Sepultura, Iced Earth (Fri); Dimmu Borgir, Hatebreed, Sanctuary, Mayhem (Sat); Alice Cooper, Paradise Lost, Anvil, Deicide (Sun). The world's premier death metallers converge on Derbyshire for a properly heavy and satanic metal fest that's louder and more extreme than Download and Sonisphere put together. Comedy doom-merchant (and former golf buddy of Groucho Marx) Cooper is one of the biggest draws, as are Portugese thrash-metallers Sepultura, while Behemoth, Iced Earth and Watain and many more provide crunchy, riff-heavy support.
