OPETH singer/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt comments: “So… back to Bloodstock 2024 for us, it appears. I don’t remember how many times we’ve played the festival, but we do have fond memories from there. ‘Filling in’ for Heaven And Hell when RJD [Ronnie James Dio] had passed is one. Fuck! Can’t remember a more emotional event on stage for us, to be honest. Anyhoooo, we’ll be there ‘rocking’ and ‘rolling’ in our own way, playing songs that you’ve chosen (apparently). Please be gentle.”
