Unfortunately not. I would have loved to have seen Balphagor, Lamb og God and the mighty Slayer but have other plans this weekend.

All hail the gods of metal - and I hope for good weather for those attending.

my friends son has gone, he loves his black metal (he's even recorded a few demos with bands Nefarius Dusk, Helvellyn & Ulfarr, as well as performed many times with Volition), not my scene though i wouldn't have minded watching Anthrax, Slayer, Accept, Voivod, King Diamond, Death Angel, Exodus & Xentrix

The live stream from Bloodstock was pretty good. Particularly loved seeing Avantasia and Sabaton


Steelhouse Festival was amazing - Saxon brought The Eagle and Schenker was top of his game. Also loved Skam who I have never seen before and Trucker Diablo who put on a storming set.

Going to see Fozzy and Breed77 at Leeds tonight

FTR Jaya ripped the place up. A two hour set reduced the capacity crowd to a sweating, half naked field of happy, smiley faces

Lamb of God playing Leeds Academy in January..... oh yes. We're there !

I was going to watch Joe Pug in September. Now I am supporting Joe Pug in September.

If anyone wants to form an Airplane style queue to calm me down by slapping me, do it.

Nice one Ski!

We were dead cheeky and emailed the promoter asking if they had a support. Sometimes you have to make your own luck.

They were rather good at Rebellion too.
