Both bands will appear on the Sophie Lancaster stage, which is poignant as Malefice's Dale Butler explains:
"We're delighted to be asked to appear on Bloodstock 2009. We're even more honoured to be a part of the Sophie Lancaster stage, as the disgusting nature of her death is something I speak about on the track 'Sickened' on our latest album 'DAWN OF REPRISAL'. Sophie was killed because of the way she looked, and at the end of the day this is no different to being killed because of the colour of your skin or your religious beliefs. We hope this will be an ongoing tribute to Sophie, and support Bloodstock in their efforts to stamp out mindless hatred and hypocrisy where ever it may be!"
Bloodstock takes place at Catton Hall, Walton-On-Trent, Derbyshire on August 14th to 16th. For more information go to - http://www.bloodstock.uk.com/
