Going to have to go into town today. Really bad on BS’s behalf.

Just been to the supermarket in Midgard which is advertised o. The website as selling beer, to be told that nowhere on site can sell beer apart from the bars. This is not cool, as it is stated on the website that they do. I now have no beer.

Do the bars in the festival take cards? And do many of the food stalls?

Right, the Doc's are coming then.

Since the site is a quarry, does that mean if it does rain it won't be too swampy? Debating trainers or boots.

Would never have considered Mr Big glam, but sure.

I think there's a market for having more rock-sounding acts at the festival, but preferably ones that do cross into almost metal territory: Accept, Rose Tattoo and the likes.

What about...rasslin'? Download have NXT do shows over the weekend, and I know Bloodstock can't do that, but what about a British company like Progress or ICW? A few matches after the bands finish in a tent with a thousand screaming, blood thirsty metal heads! There is a good crossover of metalheads...

I'm surprised that there aren't more of the classic underground U.K. bands playing. Surely they would be relatively cheap and would get a few more heads in than pub-level bands from around the country? Bands who are established but still small: the likes of Solstice, Desecration, Sabbat, Iron Monkey...

Iron Monkey are back, they haven't been playing in a long time and it would fill a gap in the lineup for horrible sludge.

Would be a great addition.
