Bloodstock Open Air has announced their first headliner for next year’s event. Hot on the heels of his Welcome 2 My Nightmare tour, notorious shock rocker Alice Cooper comes to Catton Hall for his only UK festival appearance of 2012.
Unless you’ve had your head buried in the sand for the last five decades, the godfather of theatrical rock needs no introduction, and needless to say, organisers are delighted to have the prolific legend of rock join the Bloodstock lineup.
Festival booker Vicky Gregory said: “As huge fans of Alice Cooper, we are thrilled to have the iconic artist close proceedings on the Sunday night! We have been after Alice for a number of years and are extremely excited to see him grace the Ronnie James Dio stage. We guarantee this will be a performance not to be missed”
An Alice Cooper concert is always a memorable event, and there are few artists out there capable of putting on such a thrilling show. Bloodstock attendees are in for quite a treat if the recent shows are anything to go by.
From the moment he takes to the stage as a giant spider your senses are assaulted with fireworks, mock executions, simulated sex (with the dead of course), snakes, monsters and zombies, as Alice delivers hit after hit from his decade-long career.
With a back-catalogue that includes timeless classic such as Schools Out, No More Mr Nice Guy, Welcome To My Nightmare, Hey Stoopid, Feed My Frankenstein and recent single I’ll Bite Your Face Off, Alice’s set at Bloodstock will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the festival’s history.
With a world-class headliner already in place and two more to be announced – as well as over 100 bands from across the world of hard rock and metal – there is no festival offering better value, with four day weekend camping tickets available at just £90 if booked before 15th December.
Bloodstock Open Air 2012 takes place at Catton Hall August 9th – 12th. Four day camping tickets for next year’s event are available now at bloodstock.uk.com for just £90 (plus booking fee) until 15th December.
