Stereoboard Previews Bloodstock Festival 2012
There are a couple of things that make Bloodstock a rather special landmark in the UK festival calendar. Firstly, it’s a metal festival in the true sense of the word. Sonisphere and Download may want to claim that it is they that provide the real festival choices for metalheads up and down the country but Bloodstock is the genuine place to be each August for British headbangers. Alongside the odd wildcard, Bloodstock always provides a bill to make the mouth salivate at the potential of a ton of the heaviest bands in the business. Secondly, Bloodstock is a refreshing alternative to the overbearing commerciality of the big UK rock festivals. The family-run festival has an air of comforting friendliness to it that its larger competitors at Knebworth and Donington can never offer.
