It's going to be our only U.K. show of 2011 as well and we will play a song or two from our new album, so it's gonna be a seriously heavy day!"

Added NEVERMORE: "We're absolutely stoked to return to the U.K. again to play the mighty Bloodstock festival! We had such a good time in the U.K. on our tour and even filmed the 'Emptiness Unobstructed' clip during our show in London, so we know we got some diehard over there. We look forward to seeing you all again!"
