A bit pointless trying to organise any seeing as normal gigs are expected to start in August. Supposed to be an announcement in a couple of weeks time relaxing the rules on events. That's if there aren't any spikes and may not be happening in Leicester. August? Great, if true! Where is your source ...

Metal was about music, beer and trying to shag birds. There wasn't even that much of a drug culture. Anyone saying anything else is talking out their arse. Since when was it about black people? The only two I can remember when growing up being even remotely related to Heavy Metal was Phil Lynott and...

Expect to see them more at HRH events seeing as they have just been signed to their record label.

Yes. But they've also played in the main "headlining" slot at Wacken….

And also played Wacken in a main stage slot three years before the Eurovision thing. To a crowd vastly larger than Bloodstock even holds.

Maybe some need to learn a bit about bands before criticising them....

However if you consider that they expect everything being back to normal after a few months (if not weeks) there will be a lot of empty venues that don't have events on with no opportunity to book anything. At least if you put provisional dates up you can postpone or cancel them nearer the time if t...

Was that written by the work experience kid? Very poorly written for something which comes from a major media outlet which used to be respected around the world. I can understand tiny festivals which attracts a few hundred people not having full insurance, but if you are running a festival with more...

Glastonbury takes about a month to build. I would guess that they had to cancel earlier to avoid losing too much on contractors. Download takes 12 days and bloodstock about 7... so comparatively a lot less time. Maybe Glastonbury was more under the gun in terms of having to make a decision whereas ...

I would suggest it's more down to logistics than anything else. Or bands threatening to pull out completely. Usually the Yanks (remember all the tours being cancelled after 9/11?) Unless you are in the Far East or Italy there isn't currently any problems. You aren't even being told not to travel. Th...

Savage Master are decent. I've you like bands like Warlock, Dio and 1980s US Power/Speed Metal they will be right up your street. Must admit I haven't heard of the others apart from Pist and Blasphemer. And looking at the descriptions I know why, "Modern hard rock crew", what does that eve...

I don't get all the negativity on here. Hoblin Goblin IPA is still on the line up and there will be music too! Might be back at the camp for Black Dahlia Murder but the rest are ok. Yes. But you can get it in 'Spoons for £2.30 and even cheaper if you go to a cheap supermarket. Rather than the £4 or...

- Diamond Head, if i wanted to see grandads on their death beds, I'd just go to the old folks home :o Yeah. A bit bizarre seeing as it's only Tatler that is anywhere near old and they are far from being the worst band on this line up. Even though the "new" singer is a bit ropey. Similar c...

I'm hoping Kreator for Saturday special guest

Can't see Kreator supporting Behemoth. I was thinking Sodom, Rage, Grave Digger or Destruction maybe.

More likely to clash with Saxon which is just as bad.

Decent announcement to get people to buy early bird tickets. Then I expect nothing else of interest to get added. Still sitting on the fence about whether not to bother for the first time.

Needs some German Thrash.
