"If I told them once, I told them a thousand times, Spinal Tap first, puppet show second"

Well we didn't get Spinal Tap but we did get the next best thing... the puppet show!

Festival and convention favourites Pop-up Puppet Cinema return with TWO exclusive shows, only for our VIP'ers!

For the uninitiated Pop-Up Puppet Cinema take classic films and recreate them as very silly and inventive puppet parodies!

So grab a beverage and enjoy not one but two puppet movies with us. Join Marty and Doc as they desperately try to get Marty Back to the Future! and a version of Nightmare on Elm Street like you've never seen before.

These 'movies' are rated P for Puppets, anyone claiming to be an adult must be accompanied by an idiot!

Expect humour, mockery, and plenty of warmth and imagination as these hilariously twisted puppets bring the classic movies to life (or rather, death... in the case of Elm Street).

Don't miss your chance to witness cinematic mayhem unfold at the hands of these puppet masters. Catch them on Friday & Saturday, 6pm Only in The Serpent's Lair!

🐉🔥🤘🍻

22/03/2024

The mighty Seidrblot take to the Serpent's Lair stage on Sunday afternoon to bring our VIP'ers a healthy dose of authentic dark Nordic folk music.

These shamaic druid metalheads are no strangers to Bloodstock, and are certainly not one to miss... especially if you caught them opening the Ronnie James Dio stage back in 2021!

Seidrblot’s blend of enchanting vocal harmonies, powerful throat singing and ritual folk melodies will draw you under their spell.

The perfect way to warm your Viking hearts ahead of the sure to be thunderous main stage performance of Amon Amarth.

🐉🔥🤘🍻⚔️🪓

15/03/2024

Krusher Joule, the living legend. former art director for Kerrang!, creator of many iconic album covers, TV and radio presenter, author, photographer, DJ and MC – It's fair to say his life has been one of adventure, rock'n'roll, excess and overdrive... and it’s quite frankly a flipping miracle that he’s still alive to tell the tale.

Join us on Saturday afternoon for Krushanory LIVE... gather round as he regales stories of legend, tales of infamy, rock history and quite often debauchery... all for for your amusement and bemusement.

🐉🔥🍻🤘😂🤘

Joining the Serpent's Lair entertainment lineup for 2024 we welcome the return of drumming prodigy Caleb H Drummer

This 9 year old drummer started crushing beats at the age of two (before he even started school!), and hasn't slowed down since.

He's a self-taught powerhouse with a passion for rock & metal, especially the fast-paced energy and double bass mastery heavy metal demands. For those of you that may have caught him back in 2022 (where he was joined by Lamb of God drummer Art Cruz), you'll know this will be a performance not to be missed.

With over 650,000 followers across his social platforms, Caleb is an inspiration to young musicians everywhere. Don't miss your chance to see him live in the Serpent's Lair at Bloodstock VIP this summer!

🐉🔥🤘🍻🎸🥁🎙️

With our 'Deadliners' announced, we can begin to share the wider entertainment we have planned for you this year! Starting with Bridget.

Bloodstock VIP gets grungy as we welcome Essex's punk powerhouse vocalist Bridget to the Serpent's Lair stage.

This 22 year old whirlwind is a formidable up and coming artist - in the same vein of Amyl and The Sniffers, Hole, and Wolf Alice whose music will well and truly 'throw you in the pit!'

She is Raw. Unapologetic. The true spirit of grunge and punk rock; trust us when we say her "run-into-battle" energy is not to be missed.

🐉🔥🤘🍻🎙️
