Bloodstock Headliner announced/

Ronan|Raven

Children of Bodom were named today as the headliners on the Saturday of the 2 day Festival. Other groups include Sonata Arctica, Threshold ,and Primal Fear. More to be added (hammerfall hopefully)

Shaping up to be a great 2 days. I have my ticket so im happy

Karl Hungus

I should be getting my tickets soon enough, Ronan.

Flights from Dublin to EastMidlands are currently priced at 64 euros return on www.bmibaby.com

I'll probably try and head over withyourself this year, and avoid missing out on a few acts like I did last year. So tell me your plans when you've got an idea.

Shall we try and get the same B&B as last year?
That place was great, and quite close to the venue.

Ronan|Raven

64 euros excellent. I will prob head over the morning of the gig like last time as it allows for delays etc but means getting to Dublin early. One can sleep in the airport with a bottle of vodka for comfort

To all the other readers of the forum looking for a good festival to goto then give Bloodstock a look it is well worth it. And Derby is cheap!

nesthead

:eek: fookin deadly! but i probably wont be going. im going to Iced Earth and Primal Fear on the 21st of march and then Wacken later on.

Children Of Bodom are on the wacken line up, but id love to Sonata Arctica just as much.

here is the Wacken flyer just in case youre curious check out wacken.com for more info

Ronan|Raven

Was thinking of going to Wacken but aint 100% was also planning on going to www.graspop.com in June but there an important family event on the same weekend so diplomacy will be needed

Fair enough, I'll head along with you.

Might be booking tickets soon enough, so I'll give you the heads up. Was considering heading over the night before myself, so I'd have a good rest and nice wide open eyes for the bands on the day. Thoughts?

If you want to book the plane tickets, let me know, and I'll fly you up some money.

Ronan|Raven

Aye the evening before could also be done. I will give ya a shout on IRC later when im home.

Pugsley

Id like to go along with ya's if you dont be minding

Defo up for seeing CoB and Sonata Arctica

Ronan|Raven

Pugsley old mucker old matey it would be a pleasure bring Lurch as well

If you are on IRC later (after7pm) ill talk to ya there about details.

Karl Hungus

The more the merrier, Pugs!

Ronan|Raven

Any other takers for this fine Metal event? It will be a truely enjoyable weekend.

Pugsley

If I can get lurch to come I will, but I doubt he'll bother, hes not up for concerts and stuff much. But, alas, Ill ask him when he wakens (at about 2pm ).

Pugsley

Terrable news........ lurch might be coming

nadir

children of bodom rule, sounds great, ill try to make it :P

Oeneus

I'm not sure that I will go this year. The line-up isn't really interesting me so far.

I am still a member of the Rock Society club, though. So I assume within the next couple of months I will recieve a member's pass.

So I'll be willing to auction that pass to anyone here who may want it. I'll give you whatever promo stuff I recieve also.

Ken, I'll PM you the number for that B&B later if you want.

Karl Hungus

Ah, that's a pity Oeneus, you'll be missed.
Not of a fan of Children Of Bodom then I take it?

T'was a great lark last year.

And yes, if you could PM me the B&B number, I'd be well gratefull.

Dathai

Goddman! I wish I could go..but no!!I have to be 14.Fvck,and its such a damn good line up too. :mad:

Strange Ive been posting in this section non stop for the past while and I havent noticed this thread.I must have thought it was another charter.

Oeneus

Don't be such a wuss. Last year there was a 4 year old girl moshing away.

Explosive_Cornflake

Hmmm, i might go to wacken, whats the overall cost from expierence?

Ronan|Raven

Just goto bloodstock! or both

Pugsley

Just curious, roughly how much will it cost from friday to monday with flights + tickets + a B&B? (no drink/food in this value )

Karl Hungus

You're looking at about 70 euros for the flight, 60 euros for the concert ticket, and about 20 pounds for B&B per night.

Pugsley

190 yoyos, about £110 then, nay bad if you ask me

Ronan|Raven

SINERGY now have been added to the bill this is really shaping up well.

Karl Hungus

Gamma Ray, Threshold, Illuminatus, and Infobia have also been added to the bill.

Can't say I'm that impressed with that lot...
But Children Of Bodom, Sonata Arctica and Sinergy ON THE SAME ****ING BILL!?!?!?

HOLY COW BATMAN!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Nearly too good to be true.

Ronan|Raven
