Hell Dripback Join Line Up
Posted by Jennifer Coleman in Bloodstock News at 18:17 on Tuesday, 24 May 2011
BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR has added another two bands to it’s 2011 line up. After a 24 year silence, NWOBHM pioneers HELL return to the world of metal with an appearance on the RONNIE JAMES DIO stage. Cited as a huge indirect influence, and as one of the true founding fathers of occult metal, the band formed in 1982 from the carcasses of UK metal bands RACE AGAINST TIME and PARALEX. Seemingly plagued by disaster, HELL were shunned by the metal press at the time, who could not get their collective heads around a band so different and ahead of their time. Add to this a bankrupt label, and the tragic suicide of singer/guitarist Dave Halliday, the world was not yet ready for HELL. Read more

Bloodstock Announces Comedy Names For 2011
Posted by Jennifer Coleman in Bloodstock News at 18:36 on Tuesday, 03 May 2011
BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR is undoubtedly the UK’s only true metal festival, consistently delivering the top names from the world of heavy music, as well as breaking the most exciting news acts in the scene. But BOA knows that putting a bunch of the world of metal’s most exciting acts across three stages over four days is not enough to say “job done” when it comes to putting on a festival. The music is one thing, but what separates a festival from a long gig, aside from the open air setting, is all the other entertainment on offer. Since it’s inception, BLOODSTOCK has worked hard to provide stalls, rides and all manner of attractions and entertainment to offer festival goers the most fun-packed weekend in the metal calendar. Last year, BLOODSTOCK offered comedy for the first time, an element that went down so well it is expanding on it this year, kicking off with one hour of comedy on the Thursday, with numerous performances across the weekend also scheduled on the SOPHIE stage.
