The big review: Bloodstock 2024
Motörhead’s Bomber is hanging over the arena entrance at Bloodstock 2024. There’s a massive area cordoned off for the “official” late-night bin jousting. And on Saturday there are dozens of punters kicking around dressed as prehistoric beasts (and in Jurassic Park cosplay) for the festival’s ‘Dinosaur Day’. This year feels like the fest’s biggest ever. Building on existing attractions like the videogame arena and battle re-enactments, metal-themed workout sessions, market stalls, and the excellent gallery featuring Lemmy’s ashes and a mock up of his dressing room, as well as exhibitions of photography by Paul Harries and Ashley Maile, there’s enough buzzing activity to keep the average battle jacket busy for a weekend, even if they hadn’t booked any bands....
