With only 2 weeks and a few days to go to Bloodstock, it’s time to see what people really like about the line up and what they expect of the bands.
I myself am going to Bloodstock and for those of you who either haven’t heard of it or simply aren’t going, I’ve got two words for you – come on!
This year, Bloodstock is celebrating its 10th Anniversary, and this festival isn’t like Download or Sonisphere, although it may have a few bands from each of those festival, it still remains unique. Why?
Well, Bloodstock is for the more extreme music listeners, but can still maintain that heavy music many metalheads desire. Throughout the years Bloodstock has seen visits from some well known acts, and to name just a few: Children of Bodom, Blind Guardian, Nightwish, Saxon, Edguy, Sonata Artica and many more. It gathers a wide range of international acts, outside of its birthplace in Derby.
The current line up is located here – http://www.bloodstock.uk.com/
Here’s what I think of the line up for 2010;
Awesome, it couldn’t be better. Two of my favourite bands on the line up, plus many other exclusive bands, that’s right, exclusive. Bloodstock has bands that are only playing Bloodstock this year in the UK. Did I mention that most of the other bands are awesome?
You got acts from: Opeth, Meshuggah, Behemoth, Sonata Artica, Children of Bodom, Fear Factory, Devin Townsend, Obituary, Gorgoroth, Twisted Sister, Bloodbath, Edguy, Onslaught, Evile, Suffocation, Gojira, Doro, Korpiklaani and many more throughout the three stages scattered throughout the field.
So all I’ve got to say, is keep an eye out for any bands you may like on the line up for next year, it’s very rare for Bloodstock to disappoint.
As for me, I’ve got my flights booked, my money ready and my gear all packed. I’m waiting for these two weeks to fly in, so I can have the best 5 days of my life, with camping, alcohol and heavy metal!

Hey music lovers/makers!
In this article I’m going to write about my progression in music and how so much of my taste has changed.
Like a lot of people we all heard of the bands Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC and Metallica. At an early age my first band I listened to that had guitars in the music was Guns N’ Roses, my brother was a fan and he was playing the album Appetite for Destruction in its full, so I sat there and listened to it and I couldn’t believe it. It felt like this music was calling for me. Afterwards I got into AC/DC and Metallica. AC/DC’s first ever album I listened to, wasn’t even a studio album, it was a live album, it still rocked either way.
Interview with Gentry Morris – Enjoy!
