If you’re arriving early on Thursday to set up your pitch, we kick off the festival arrivals night in heavy duty style with five awesome bands on the Sophie Lancaster stage.
ARKONA (www.facebook.com/arkonarussia) headline the party, bringing their pagan/folk infused tunes all the way from Moscow, Russia. The band’s current album, ‘Khram’ was released earlier this year. Check out ‘Shtorm’ taken from that release…
Portsmouth death metallers and 2009 ‘Metal 2 The Masses’ alumni BLOODSHOT DAWN (www.facebook.com/pg/BloodshotDawn) also land a slot. Watch their official video for ‘Shackled’, taken from the recently released ‘Reanimation’ album;

Riff-tastic rockers FIRE RED EMPRESS (www.facebook.com/fireredempress) also grab a place on the bill. Their debut album, ‘Black Morphine’ arrived last year, featuring ‘Dead Nature’. Check out that video;
