DIMMU BORGIR Ordered By Doctors To Cancel Festival Set

09 August 2019

DIMMU BORGIR have been forced to pull out of their scheduled appearance at Bloodstock Open Air music festival this weekend under doctors' orders due to an illness suffered by one of the band members.

The band had this to say, "Dimmu Borgir regrets to inform you that we have to cancel our appearance at this year's Bloodstock due to illness. The doctors have ordered full rest for a minimum of one week, and instructed that performing a show this weekend would increase the situation further.

"We are truly sorry about this as we had been looking enormously forward to returning to Bloodstock this year. Enjoy the festival, we will see you again soon!"

DIMMU BORGIR were scheduled to play the main stage this Sunday (August 11).

To coordinate the departure of DIMMU, QUEENSRYCHE will be bumped up into the sub-headliner spot, and BATUSHKA will play underneath them in third billing.

As previously reported, Bulgaria's hottest metal band, ODD CREW is confirmed to play on Satuday at BLOODSTOCK.

ODD CREW's show is at the 'Sophie Lancaster' stage with TAAKE headlining that day.

On main stage the main acts will be PARKWAY DRIVE, ANTHRAX and CRADLE OF FILTH.
