Making the portaloo areas less mudbathy would be great. Never seen any point in showers at a festival though -- baby wipes, dry shampoo, and deodorant is all you need. Bin bags with a deposit scheme could be a good idea. A lot of stalls already accept card payment, more of that is great. However, Bl...

Happy with Dimmu. However, I'd rather listen to nails down a chalkboard than KD "singing", so I'll give MF a wide berth.

First day was alright. Sat out in the hammock, soaked up a bit of sun, and got rained on a couple of times. Almost like being at Bloodstock.

Seemed to peak at around 2.5k people streaming at once, which is a bit underwhelming, but I enjoyed myself.

Bloodstock interviewed Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil) for the Metal Alliance Festival. Considering Lacuna Coil aren't playing the festival, and they haven't played Bloodstock since 2014, it seems like an odd choice. I wouldn't expect LC to be headliners again, but I think there's a good chance they'...

Who?

Personally looking forward to Rotting Christ and Heidevolk, as well as reliving the Sabaton set.

There's the wishlist subforum for requesting bands, although none of the organisers have troubled themselves to look in it for the past ~10 years or so.

Aside from that, there's contact information listed at https://www.bloodstock.uk.com/pages/contact-us

It's music.

That's all.

It'd be good to get Ghost back. Trivium... not so much.

So, they deleted my account for posting that screenshot. If it's any consolation I doubt that was the intent. The 12 year old that they employ to run the website probably clicked the wrong button. Given how the last few forum "upgrades" went, the time it took to figure out how HTTPS works...

Yeah, but lets not forget that a lot of Americans seem to think that bullets will protect them from the virus, and that by being told to keep a 2m distance from each other their god-given 'Murican Freedoms are being stolen. We can only hope that, if the lockdown continues for a prolonged period over...

Par for the course these days, I'm afraid.

From what others have described about their twitter account, it seems Vicky will be determined to press ahead regardless, but if bands start pulling out, or Showsec say nay, or the vendors can't get staff to run the stalls... it's hard to see the fest going ahead in that instance. A lot of people se...

So my plan is to avoid people for a couple of months and then try my hardest to catch it when it's warmer and hopefully less nasty. So come summer I'm gonna kiss as many people as possible. I'll probably end up in prison for assault but at least I'm more likely to catch the virus in a crowded priso...
