About Bloodstock Winter Gathering
After a 2025 debut at KK's Steel Mill, Bloodstock Winter Gathering 2026 returns to Wolverhampton as a one-day indoor metal event.
The second edition runs on Saturday 5 December 2026, with doors at 14:00 and bands from 15:00 to 23:00. Capacity is listed at 2,200. General admission is posted at £55 plus booking fee.
Lineup and Programme
The bill leans into metal, with black metal, death metal, thrash metal, doom metal and punk all listed in the programme. Announced acts include ROTTING CHRIST and SHRAPNEL.
Two stages carry the live music. The programme also includes band signing sessions, giveaways and a live Bloodstock Festival Management Q&A. S'tanta's Grotto and the snow machine are listed for the indoor site.
Who Is It For?
The audience is described by Bloodstock as community-focused and inclusive, with an organically diverse alternative-music crowd. The age floor is 14.
Anyone under 18 must attend with an adult aged 18 or over. Entry is open to people aged 14 years or older.
The Venue and Site
KK's Steel Mill is at Frederick Street, Wolverhampton, WV2 4DU. The event is indoors and runs as a one-day format rather than a camping weekender.
Facilities include level access and a raised viewing platform for eligible Access Card holders, plus free Essential Companion tickets for eligible patrons. KK's Snack Bar serves food, including a vegan option, and the cloakroom is £1 per item. Cash, card and contactless payments are accepted.
