Next announcement is on the 11th. I'm guessing Anthrax will be in there, possibly subbing to Megadeth, as they're coming to the end of their tour...

Unwarranted rants about Vicky's supposed transphobia. She make a stupid mistake. She explicitly apologised for it on three separate occasions, yet it's not enough. Despite not actually saying anything transphobic in the first place, some people are unable to forgive even the slightest transgression...

The Good: Bloodstock being very much Bloodstock. I began transitioning from male to female this year. No one cared. No one batted an eyelid or gave me a second look. I wore my girly clothes every day and never once felt uncomfortable. The only people to make any comment whatsoever were those who kn...

Thursday Dark Tranquillity: 8/10. Decent enough but didn't wow me. Glad to tick them off my bucket list though. Friday Sorcerer: 7/10. Solid bit of trad metal to kick off the day. Machine Head: 8/10. Personally I was really happy with them as the surprise band as I've never got to see them before. ...

The Good: - Getting in the queue at 9:30am and being let in at 10am. Definitely needed to get in and set up as quickly as possible in that heat. It also prevented the queue from getting too long later in the day too. - The atmosphere. I dunno if it's just me but everybody seemed extra friendly and w...

I think Bloodstock should put on the lineup, "Secret Surprise" or something like that so we don't forget. It's early Friday on the Sophie Stage, right? Yeah 3:30pm on the Sophie stage on Friday apparently. Haven't got a clue who it could be tbh but I guess I'll wander over before Gwar to ...

Yeah I've noticed this too. I'm actually really struggling to find anything on New Blood this year. All I have noted down so far is Nomadus.

Rubbish news about Sacred Reich. Saturday is looking very sparse for me now but at least it gives me time to get a shower in!

Unfortunately you’ll have to remove Enforced from that list as sadly they are not coming back to Europe for their August shows due to it not being financially viable Any source for this? Had a look on their Facebook and no mention of it :? Yes, I spoke to the band directly after their show on Thurs...

Venom Inc. have replaced Black Dahlia Murder and are doing a special Black Metal set.

I dunno, I'd say the people that replied are fairly active on the forum. I still dig this forum though, even if people complain about every announcement.

can't even remember when I joined now, possibly around the time of my first BOA in 2013!

Best thing I've ever read on this forum!

I'm still waiting for the London show to happen.
