Got your tent ready?! Bloodstock's campsite partner is Miss Daisy’s Camping Store, so if you don’t want to tow a ton of gear to site, order online and collect it from the Miss Daisy tent in the main Midgard campsite.  See what’s available and/or place your order via their ‘click & collect’ service here - http://www.missdaisyscampingstore.co.uk/.  If you arrive and discover you’ve forgotten your sleeping bag, they’ll do their best to help!


Also based in the Midgard campsite are our festival Samaritans. These guys are available 24hrs a day, from Thursday night through to Monday morning.  It doesn’t matter if it’s late or early, baking hot or raining, if you’re feeling low and need some emotional support, please stop by their tent for a non-judgemental and confidential chat with someone trained to listen. Learn more about the Samaritans at: http://www.samaritans.org/.

If you came to Bloodstock last year, did you try the very metal, alcoholic, Kraken Black Spiced Rum ice cream? Bloodstock is pleased to say that not only is the ice cream returning, Kraken are bringing their Freaky Tiki bar, where you can imbibe dastardly concoctions amongst black palm trees, tiki torches, and shrunken heads. Look for the totem pole, you won’t be able to miss it. If bourbon revs your engine instead, you’re all set as Bulleit are cruising in with their classic Studebaker truck bar, offering their infamous frontier whiskey, along with a host of other Bulleit goodies!  

There’s just ten days left ‘til the metallic hordes thunder onto the hallowed turf of Catton Park! For the first time in the festival’s history, weekend tickets are now SOLD OUT!!!

If you’ve missed out, don’t panic. Day tickets are still available and can also be bought at the on-site box office throughout the weekend. The box office will be open from 10am to 10pm. For remaining ticket options and prices, see bloodstock.seetickets.com.  All ticket purchases made online after 9am Wednesday 2nd August will not be mailed by post, they will be available for collection at the on-site box office. For details on last minute purchases, see here; http://www.bloodstock.uk.com/news/buying-bloodstock-2017-online-and-at-the-festival-gate.

There’s a wide range of food on offer at Bloodstock, so you’re sure to find something that takes your fancy. Carnivore, vegetarian, vegan, or looking for something Halal, gluten-free, or dairy-free? Bloodstock’s got you covered. Only low-fat ostrich meatballs will do? No problem, head over to I Love Ostrich. Pining for a lamb & mint sausage? All About The Sausage have 15 different foot longs. D&J Gallops Farm Burgers are all about sustainable, free-range, grass-fed beef. Veggies and vegans are catered for at Hot Wok, Paellaria, & long time festival fave Deli Kate - but do check out other vendors too because they aren’t the only ones with suitable options! Wash it all down with a milkshake (inc. dairy-free) from Shaken Udder - they even do a breakfast one. There’s many other choices besides and there’s also free drinking water at designated water points in the campsites and main arena.

Learn more at: http://www.bloodstock.uk.com/events/boa-2017/traders,

When you’re not watching bands, check out the Bloodstock market place, where more than 40 traders will be offering everything from band merch, alternative clothing, flags, patches, army surplus, hats, New Rocks, home-ware, CDs, vinyl, posters, jewellery, fancy dress, face painting, and more.  Looking for something different? Visit Viking Crafts, Amber Wolf Workshop, or pick up some Norse God-inspired leisure wear at Descended From Odin. Don’t forget to enter Teenage Cancer Trust’s raffle too. If you snapped up a VIP ticket, you’ll love the rock n’ roll silver jewellery from The Great Frog, exclusively in the Serpents Lair.  

If you have any final questions you want to put directly to Bloodstock, festival directors Adam Gregory & Vicky Hungerford are doing a special Facebook Live Q&A all about Bloodstock over on the Metal Hammer Facebook page at www.facebook.com/metalhammer tomorrow (Tues 1st Aug) at 6pm.

Brazilian legends and indisputable masters Ratos De Porão (or simply RDP) have been commanding the punk / hardcore / crossover / thrash four-way scene since 1981, releasing so far 15 studio albums and several other efforts! Despite the changing trends and tastes, the band has kept and keeps holding the Pole Position, remaining resolutely uncompromising both musically and politically since the very beginning! The band’s latest album “Século Sinistro” (2014, via Alternative Tentacles) is a real crossover thrash masterpiece of the ’80s with the taste of modern hardcore of our days! In spite of their long successful career, today the band is more active and hungry than ever and ready to deliver blast to their loyal fans while conquering new territories.

Canada's The Birthday Massacre announce 'Under Your Spell' UK tour 2017 dates

21/7/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture

The Birthday Massacre have announced a UK tour to promote their new album, ‘Under Your Spell’. The itinerary is as follows : 


24.10.17  LONDON O2 Academy Islington
25.10.17  MANCHESTER Ruby Lounge
27.10.17  EDINBURGH Opium
28.10.17  WHITBY Goth Festival
29.10.17  GLASGOW Ivory Blacks
31.10.17  BRISTOL Fleece
01.11.17  READING Sub 89
02.11.17  SOUTHAMPTON Engine Rooms
03.11.17  WOLVERHAMPTON Slade Rooms


Further details will be announced in due course.

‘Under Your Spell' was released on 9th June by Metropolis Records.

‘Under Your Spell’ is the 7th album by the Birthday Massacre, and with it comes eleven songs that  reveal a side of the Canadian band that audiences may not be familiar with. Driven with the band’s  signature, unique blend of spiralling synth melodies, walls of guitar and evocative vocals, the new songs range from dark, aggressive anthems to danceable, pretty pop and hit all the bases that  audiences have come to expect. However, there is also a rawness to the emotion expressed, an  openness and vulnerability that feels new. 


One thing that is clearer than ever, however, is the tight bond that exists between the band members and their willingness to explore heartbreak and loss together. With these songs, they have entered  the darkness of their most fragile emotions and returned with a cohesive and detailed musical portrait that captures both the anger and hope that exist within a moment in time.


The Birthday Massacre continue to make music that is unique to them, once again managing to  create an album that somehow feels so familiar, yet challenges the listener to continue alongside them on their ever-changing, ever-growing journey.

Bloodstock release day tickets, gallery info, & more for 2017

1/7/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture

Bloodstock have now released their day tickets (as of yesterday)! Tickets will be priced at £60 (plus booking fee) and are available at http://bloodstock.seetickets.com. Four-day ‘weekend tickets with camping’ are also still available, priced £139 (plus booking fee). Children’s weekend tickets are just £35 (+ booking fee) and under 4’s go free!  Weekend tickets are selling faster than ever this year and may well sell out entirely before festival weekend, so don’t delay if you want to guarantee access to the UK’s best metal weekender!

One thing that sets Bloodstock apart from other festivals is festival founder, Paul Raymond Gregory’s on-site RAM Gallery. In addition to showing selections from his own world-renowned portfolio, Paul invites some of his favourite rock & metal-related artists to exhibit. This year he welcomes Berlin-based artist and illustrator, Eliran Kantor, who’ll show six pieces of work. Eliran has created sleeve art for numerous metal artists including Testament, Soulfly, Iced Earth, and Hatebreed. Returning to the RAM Gallery in 2017 is Orange County artist, Christian Sloan Hall, who show a few of the many pieces of work he’s created for our Friday headliner, Amon Amarth. Christian will be in the gallery to sign limited edition prints, which will be available for sale, so come by, say hello and snap up something extra special for your wall.  

Also exhibiting will be Daniel P. Carter; artist, musician, and presenter of the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show. Dan studied at the prestigious St Martins School of Art and has created sleeves for many albums, most recently Me And That Man’s debut (Nergal from Behemoth’s side project), ‘Songs of Love And Death’. On the photography side, the RAM Gallery is also thrilled to welcome celebrated rock photographer, Paul Harries, who’ll show six photographic pieces from his incredible portfolio.  Adding a new flavour to the gallery this year is Heathen Waxworks. Their hand-carved 3D candleware in a range of unique designs are based on RAM Gallery-appropriate mythical and esoteric themes; Nordic Storm, Pagan Woodland, Native American, Hammered Horror and Satanic Majesty. 

Lastly but not leastly, regular RAM Gallery contributor and luthier Cynosure, creator of hand-made guitars as art, will be exhibiting two brand new bespoke instruments. One of the new instruments is Saxon-inspired and will sit on the ‘Saxon Wall’ beside pieces of Paul Gregory’s original artwork for the British metal stalwarts. The other….well, that’ll be a surprise. Be sure to drop into the gallery to see it!

The finals for this year’s ‘Metal 2 The Masses’ campaign steam-roll on and Bloodstock can now reveal the next round of winners landing a slot on the New Blood stage. 

Livening up proceedings on Saturday are Merseyside winners Reaper (www.facebook.com/OfficialReaperUK), Nottingham champions Raised By Owls (www.facebook.com/RaisedByOwls), Burnley victors Ward XVI (www.facebook.com/WardXVI) and Decrepit Monolith (www.facebook.com/decrepitmonolith) who landed the top spot in Newcastle. 

The heavy riffage of Prognosis (www.facebook.com/Prognosis1) who took first prize in Manchester, are added to Sunday’s bill. Bloodstock has also decided to extend an invitation to three other exceptional bands, so performing on Friday, are Dorset’s sludge / groove metallers Thuum (https://youtu.be/tyJfpdbE9Vs) and Carlisle’s runners up, the prog / tech death Blood Thread (https://youtu.be/73sYRntuB94). Dublin’s second-placed Na Cruthne (https://youtu.be/Q5QzFgZFMq0) also join the bill Sunday, bringing a unique blend of groove & black metal, but with influences from traditional Irish, Scottish, and Breton music.

Bloodstocks pleased to reveal that the festival’s official charity partner for 2017 will once again be Teenage Cancer Trust. Since partnering up in 2011, Bloodstock is very proud that over £50,000 has been raised to date to help young people facing cancer. Don’t miss the charity’s stall in the market area, where you can purchase Teenage Cancer Trust merchandise and join in the popular ‘T-Shirt Amnesty’ (bring your unwanted band t-shirts to donate or swap).  

Bloodstock will take place at Catton Park, Derbyshire on 10th-13th August 2017.  Pick up tickets at http://bloodstock.seetickets.com.
