Re: Warkings Cancel. Visions Of Atlantis Replace.

Disappointing. I quite like VoA, but Warkings are better for my tastes.

Re: Striker cancel, Fury replace.

I'd have liked to see Striker, but Fury are a huge improvement and one of the best live acts in the UK right now. I'm very happy.

Re: Rage uk tour

Any album recommendations? They're one of the "Big 4" of power metal, and have a long career with currently 26 studio albums to choose from. The style has changed a little over the years. The following should give you a reasonable cross section: ⋅ End of all days ⋅ Gho...

Re: Bloodstock Announces 14 more bands!

It's a better lineup than last year for me. But that's not saying much. It's still weak compared to other festivals.

Re: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly BOA 2022

Ps, I fully get the mask wearing if you or others round you are clinically vulnerable. Yeah, I'm not just being paranoid. My wife has a compromised immune system, so the consequences of her catching it are likely to be significantly worse than for the general population. Plus it means that the vacc...

There is a bit more going on here, but I'm not going to say anything until there's an official announcement.

Re: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly BOA 2022

I do hope you know that wearing a face mask doesn't protect the wearer? Actually, this is just utterly incorrect misinformation. There is considerable evidence for masks protecting the wearer in the academic literature. It's true that the masks are particularly effective at preventing infected peop...

Re: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly BOA 2022

VIP bar gripe - We don't want extra bands in there. We don't really want an "anything but metal" dj set every day. We're at a metal festival. We're there for metal. If you really want something other than metal try silence so we can chill out and talk to each other without shouting in eac...

Good ⋅ Catching up with friends. ⋅ A very small number of bands. ⋅ Cleanliness of toilets, particularly in the camper van field, but in general too. Bad ⋅ The heat. Ye gods, the heat. ⋅ Only two water points in the arena. What on earth was that abou...

Re: Do I need to take cash?

I use cash exclusively at the festival. Card options are widespread if you don't want to, though. I fear they'll probably try and move to being cashless in the next few years. It's a dumb move, but other festivals are doing it, and I'm sure Bloodstock will try and follow suit.
