Bloodstock 2017 will take place from August 10 to 13 at Catton Park, Walton On Trent, England.

In addition, the festival has announced its first run of club nights which will take place across England and Wales throughout April and May.

The evenings will see tracks from old and new Bloodstock bands played, with tickets and giveaways also up for grabs.

Organisers says: “Expect fun ways to win tickets – previous year’s events featured the likes of bucking broncos, endurance tests, and air guitaring!”
