With only two days to go until the 10th anniversary of BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR there have been some last minute changes to the line-up. Following the news that BEHEMOTH frontman NERGAL was rushed to hospital, and as a result has been forced to cancel scheduled BEHEMOTH shows, English doom legends CATHEDRAL have been confirmed as a last minute replacement. In addition to this OCTOBER FILE have also had to cancel their performance due to vocalist Ben Hollyer exacerbating his current stomach injury at their recent Sonisphere festival set. Stepping up at the 11th hour to replace them are rising folk flavoured black metallers WINTERFYLLETH.
