Anyone doing Bloodstock...?

[Salt_On_Everything]

guess this should go in the 'other UK festivals' section but figured i'd get more of a response on here... anyone going? i'm massively considering it, it looks good so far (AMON AMARTH!!!) and the rumours section on here looks pretty hot. thinking its gonna be festo number 2 for me this year...

Mr Postman brought me and my brother a bloodstock ticket each today

Did it 2007.Was not impressed to be honest so very doubtful I will return.

[Mike Patton]

Not my thing. Can't take most of the bands seriously - too much growling and cheesy metal.

[Salt_On_Everything]

part of the reason i love metal is that it doesn't have to be taken too seriously

and why not impressed oscar...?

Should be going, lineups looking good already

[Bad Girl]

Met Christina Scabbia who is gorgeous in the flesh and really a nice person.

i'd have thought that would've made up for all the crap you endured!

Funny I didn`t get that excited when I bumped into Shane Embury (Napalm Death) during Dimmu Borgirs set at Download.lol

I don`t go out of my way to meet anyone famous.I used to when I was like 18 or so met loads of rock stars most not big league like Mr.Dickinson or Mr.Taylor (who I have never met).

My best mate who I have been mates with for 20+ years met all of Pantera and has a signed Cowboys from Hell record by them they was playing the marquee club just before they became big.While we was queing to get in they came out.I went across the road to get some beers came out of the offie and saw him talking to them by the time I got back across the road they had gone back in.At the time I wasn`t that bothered as they was up and coming of course now I am pretty gutted.He still has it.

[Bad Girl]

oh nooo that's grim.. and i bet the fact your mate still has it a constant reminder.. grr..

i never look out for famous peeps either (would rather go and have a few post-gig bevvys than wait for the band at the backstage oor ) the only reason i met mr.dickinson and mr.taylor was coz i was working for download radio that year.. there were loads of other bands/artists at varying places in the food chain, but these two were the only ones i really gave a hoot about meeting..

anyhoo, back on topic, what's the capacity of bloodstock? and what's the arena like?

hmmm, cheers for the insight oscar, my girlfriend went last year so shall have to find out more from her. don't think she had any problems, but then she dresses like a complete goth so probably fitted in quite well! there were a few more bands announced for Bloodstock today, but nobody big yet. just praying there's some truth in the rumours on this site, given that it's currently listing Catheral, Clutch, COB, Megadeth, and Machine Head!

The Bloodstock team are delighted to announce that death metal giants CARCASS and ARCH ENEMY have been added to the bill for BOA 2009. The pair will co-headline one day of the festival and the event will mark the ONLY UK shows of 2009 for both bands!
