Bad: -The communication/lack of it Saturday; I only discovered Generation Kill and Skeletal Remains had cancelled by chance walking into Rock Soc bar. That's actually the very first I've even heard myself that they never played, assumed I'd missed them due to the re jig of set times with no announc...

Bad points. Too many people with chairs. Most of them throwing their shite left over food under them. Get off your lazy arse you fat bastards. Not aimed at disabled or older people. Just people who run around mad for most of the festival then sit down right in the way with no consideration of other...

So guess what, instead of one of the first crossover thrash bands formed in '82 playing 'the home of metal' in the UK, they're playing a pub in Bolton Why would a band that aren't metal be a good fit for "the home of metal"? Ah, fishing. Let's leave it as a subjective opinion should we, b...

Am absolutely gutted that although DRI are touring UK/Ireland on the Bloodstock weekend that they've been criminally overlooked and won't be there. Been following the tour dates and noted that Sunday 12/08 didn't have a show, until now. So guess what, instead of one of the first crossover thrash ban...

Well happy with Suicidal Tendencies, regardless of the sentiment on here, saw them in '89 supported by MOD - great days :O)

x2 on everything Gandalf has said in this thread. The chairs are a fucking menace, and it's getting worse, they're used like towels on sun loungers to guarantee a spot.

Happy with a fair chunk of that, think of the shit we could have got!

Looks like you'll be drinking on your lonesome in the campsite on Saturday night then

I doubt he'll be alone, Ghost are dull.

Count me as another back at the campsite when Ghost are on...

Can't believe I saw these at Retro bar in Manchester supporting Bloodshot Dawn, they are way better than that, (not slagging off BD here), and if they're willing to play that tour surely they'd fit the Bloodstock budget? Fucking brutal and brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF-PCe3--6I

Another criminally overlooked band, absolutely deserving of a slot after so many years and such a great band. Every fucker at Bloodstock has a patch or tattoo of the skanker logo so come on, make everyone happy!

Which leads me on to the question of chairs in the arena. It was beyond a joke how many chairs there was this year, especially on the route between the New Blood stage and Mainstage. I would like an outright ban with the exception of people with a disability or pension. No piece of paper saying you...

This actually isn't a bad announcement for me, fills up Thursday quite nicely and Gloryhammer is a great addition!
