Vicky has somewhat confirmed the fest is going ahead: https://twitter.com/vickyhungerford/sta ... 03680?s=20
I suspect an 'official' announcement is in the pipeline.

Re: Advice for first timers
Also for dealing with cold, I got a silk sleeping bag liner a few years ago which works wonders for keeping the heat in. Packs up really small and hardly weighs anything at all, so I take it with me whenever I go camping these days.

Re: Album of the Year - ROUND 2
Did you miss the votes on page 1? Two "3 points" for The Ocean on there. I'll do a recount. EDIT: shit, that's where 90% of the votes were, so I was almost finished totting up. :lol: My calculations: 23 Enslaved - Utgard 20 Demons & Wizards - III 19 Dark Tranquillity - Moment 17 Alesto...

Re: Album of the Year - ROUND 2
I've only listened to two albums on the list, and I don't rate the Alestorm one at all, sooo:
1. Dark Tranquillity ~ Moment
That's all.
Will update if I get around to listening to the others.

Re: Next Announcement
Latest update I've seen: But as the summer progresses and vaccination levels rise, events will become more viable. “The vaccine’s rolling out at an incredibly good speed – we’re quite confident that we’re going ahead,” Greenfield says of Bloodstock, which is due to begin 11 August. “We can adapt so ...

Re: The rather morbid celebrity RIP Thread.
Haven't listened to Bodom in ages (wasn't even aware they'd broken up until I read the news about Laiho), but I used to be really into their music. 41 is no age to die at. RIP.

Re: The Still drinking But in Isolation thread
I've started drinking more varieties of rum. Brewdog's 'hundred cuts' is pretty nice. My homebrew mead production died down after I moved house at the start of the first lockdown -- had to bottle ~8 gallons before moving, so I didn't have many bottles to decant into -- but I've started ramping up pr...

Re: Bloodstock 2020 car parking ticket vaild for next year?
Although parking isn't explicitly mentioned in the 2020 cancellation announcement, it's stated that tickets for 2020 will be valid next year.

Re: Amenities improvements/requests
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...

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

Re: European Metal Festival Alliance
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.

Re: Next Announcement
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'...
