BLOODSTOCK has fresh ticket news for you! Not only that, but after taking on board all your post-festival feedback, there’s some exciting info about infrastructure changes for 2026 too! Plus, new merch has just been released, and for the easiest camping experience ever, you can now book a pre-pitched tent. Read on…
First - mark your calendar and set your alarm, all tickets detailed below will go on sale at 9am on Wednesday 29th October at the official ticket store.
Following a recent site meeting, BLOODSTOCK can confirm that the KYRR CAMPSITE will return in 2026! So, if you’d thought your chances of snagging a weekend ticket for BLOODSTOCK were high and dry, think again! As before, it’s important to note that Kyrr will be a quiet campsite, and buying a Kyrr ticket means you can only camp in the Kyrr campsite. Adult Kyrr tickets (full weekend inc camping Thu-Sun) will be £210 (+ fees). There will also be a child Kyrr ticket available priced £69 (+ fees), for children aged 4-11 years old. Under 4’s go free. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 18 years or over. The Kyrr campsite will be available from Wednesday if you have also bought a Wednesday early arrival ticket (available separately in the ticket store)!
Note: if you buy a Kyrr ticket and arrive by car, in 2026 you will park in the main public car park and can fast track by crossing the road at the traffic lights from the main car park straight into the Kyrr campsite to collect your Kyrr wristband. If you buy a Kyrr ticket and are coming by coach, you will need to collect your Kyrr wristband from the main entrance box office (next door to the coach drop off point).
CAMPERVANS! BLOODSTOCK heard your pleas, and a handful of extra campervan tickets (priced £130 + fees, without power) will also go on sale at 9am, Wednesday 29th October. They’re going to go fast, so be ready.
DAY TICKETS! If you can’t make it for the full event or perhaps you haven’t been before and want to do just a day to see what it’s like, pick your favourite day and grab a day ticket! These do not include camping or access to the campsites.
Adult day tickets for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are priced £99 (+fees). You have access to the main arena from 10am - 2am on the day your ticket is for.
Child day tickets Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are priced £59 (+fees) and are for children aged 4-11 years old. Under 4s go free. They also have access to the main arena from 10am - 2am on the day the ticket is for. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 18 years or over at all times.
With the main stage open especially for 2026 on Thursday too, you can also buy tickets just for Thursday! Thursday tickets give access to the main arena from 4pm - 2am. Adult Thursday day tickets are priced £59 (+ fees), child Thursday tix are £39 (+ fees, aged 4-11).
PARKING! Coming by car? Day parking on Thursday costs £15 (+ fees) and covers 3pm - 3am. Day parking Friday, Saturday, or Sunday costs £20 (+ fees) and covers 9am - 3am. Full weekend parking costs £30 (+ fees). Note, these are advance booking prices, parking purchased on the gate on the day will be £5 more expensive. To pre-book parking, go to the official ticket store.
SITE CHANGES! As always, BLOODSTOCK is By The Fans, For The Fans. Festival HQ have read all your post event feedback, held some meetings, walked around the site, and can now confirm two major site changes for 2026.
Due to the popularity of the Sophie Lancaster stage and the increased production that bands are now bringing in, BLOODSTOCK is increasing the size of the Big Top! The stage will remain enclosed rather than open air, but will be noticeably larger in 2026.
The EMP stage is on the move! This stage will return in 2026, but at a new location in the main arena, meaning it’ll no longer compete with the thundering flow of metalheads from the main stage & neighbouring sound. BLOODSTOCK can therefore also significantly increase the viewing space, so both fans and bands have a better experience!
PRE-PITCHED TENTS! Tangerine Fields and BLOODSTOCK are inviting metal fans to go greener next summer by booking pre-pitched tents in the ASGARD campsite – a simple switch that slashes single-use tent waste and makes arrival effortless. Just turn up to a ready-to-go tent, and when the festival’s over, Tangerine Fields packs it all away! No hauling gear, no missing poles, no packing down. Bonus: any sleeping bags left behind are donated to charities, keeping gear in use and out of landfill. With tents stored close to the festival, transport miles and emissions are also cut. Reusing complements recycling and takes sustainability one step further. Interested? Book through Tangerine Fields, bring your festival ticket, and enjoy a greener, hassle-free BLOODSTOCK!
HOT NEW MERCH! Some brand new items have just launched in the official merch store, just in time for Halloween or those of you getting ahead on your Christmas shopping! Besides the Halloween t-shirt (on sale!), check out the uber cool black-on-black design which you can get on a tote bag, flat cap, hoodie, apron, and glass Christmas bauble! Plus this year’s oh-so-stylish Christmas jumper is now available! And have you seen the battle jacket yet? Shop here.
