I was a metal fan, actually, but things moved on and nobody came to replace the old guard (which I assume is why people are still willing to pay this much to see Black Sabbath). Nah, I'm not contributing to their retirement fund. 

Well firstly all proceeds go to charity and secondly there are some amazing metal bands out there. Definitely worth a revisit. Gojira and mastodon are both superb

I got a ticket, I GOT A TICKET!!!!, we're not together but that's two in the bag. Unbelievable Geoff...   And this was only £240. So that's two for seven hundred, I can absolutely live with

I have no idea why people would pay that much to see a drug addled old codger shuffle around stage. Is it just because it's his last show? If so, it seems more like a tick box exercise. I'll just not

If you don’t like Black Sabbath, and aren’t interested in the absolute sh*t-ton of bands that are influenced by them, a huge amount of whom are on this bill - an absolute one-off that wouldn’t even be

All proceeds means what’s leftover after everyone has taken a slice of the pie

yeah i remember seeing them round that sort of time too in a small venue - astoria, SBE, t&c??

 

cant remember now - the only reason i remember even going is because i used to work at Tower Records at the time and thats how i got tickets.

Astoria - 1999? A proper venue (and we thought they were all too old then!)

I'll stop you there because that's not quite true. "All proceeds" would mean that all the money generated would go to charity. In this case, it's "all profits" will go to charity, which is the money left over after the bands take their fees (which I'm sure will be undisclosed).

B'jesus! It's not that I wouldn't pay that much - I literally couldn't!

 

 

same, I'd love to go to this, so many bands I love that i've never seen live, and some that just don't play at all these days - I see Sammy Hagar and Wolf Vanhalen, thats a shoe-in for some VanHagar tunes, ah man

 

but at possibly twice or more than Glastonbury but for just an afternoon, its just too much.

 

Is there Black Sabbath cheese I can buy perhaps?

I'm not willing to pay that, it is however a fantastic line-up for fans of the genre and sure to be an amazing day for those who have got tickets. I can see why fans would splash out if they have the cash.

With the chance of a car crash at the end...

just thought i'd have a look at TM for this, fully expecting it all to be sold out...

 

straight through, no queue, everything available...

 

maybe the tides have turned and people are realising they are straight up being mugged and are saying no thanks?

I'm 86000 in the queue so someone is telling porkies

      So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.

      I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
