With a surge of various black metal battle jackets and mystical band flags floating around, today is the final day of the festival and surely the heaviest. Dominating today's stages are the likes of JASTA, DEVILDRIVER, AT THE GATES, and WATAIN with NIGHTWISH headlining the main stage as the festival closes for another year.

FOZZY – RONNIE JAMES DIO STAGE – SUNDAY
Chris Jericho still has the charisma from his wrestling days and knows how to please a crowd with his stage persona and smashing vocals. One of the bounciest sets of the day, you couldn't help but smile while watching FOZZY perform on stage. Even if you have come to watch the band out of curiosity or a huge fan, their best track was easily ''Judas'' which had the whole crowd chanting and rocking.
8/10

DEVILDRIVER – RONNIE JAMES DIO STAGE – SUNDAY
Bloodstock favorites DEVILDRIVER are back and though the weather may be dismal the band are here to play it loud. Despite having some very obvious sound difficulties, which put a downer of the set, DEVILDRIVER get the crowds surfing and pitting to tracks ''Sail'' and ''Clouds Over California''.
6/10

AT THE GATES – RONNIE JAMES DIO STAGE – SUNDAY
One of the most heavily loved bands to play Bloodstock Open Air, AT THE GATES returns to a sub-headline set on the Sunday evening. Cracking the set open with ''To Drink From The Night Itself'', followed by ''Slaughter Of The Soul'', is one way to get the crowd to go absolutely mental for your set. AT THE GATES were an unstoppable force of the festival, which fulfilled the needs of the Death Metal fans in the crowd.
8/10

NIGHTWISH – RONNIE JAMES DIO STAGE – SUNDAY
Returning to Bloodstock for the first time in 10 years with a brand new vocalist, NIGHTWISH are set to wow the crowd for the evening. Their ''Decades'' world tour brings a set list to please every kind of fan from the old school to those who have just began listening to the headline band. Packed with fireworks and pyro, it was an unmissable set from start to finish.
7/10

WATAIN – SOPHIE LANCASTER STAGE – SUNDAY
Closing the festival for the evening is the almighty WATAIN, who have a packed out stage well before the band begin their performance. With more fire on stage than some of the main stage bands, WATAIN are preparing to deliver a ritualistic and intense show. Songs such as ''Malfeitor'' and ''Outlaw'' get the crowd screaming every word back to them and headbanging in sync. WATAIN have truly put on one of the best performances Bloodstock Open Air has ever seen.
