Will bloodstock have pay for public wifi this year ? Ive tried to find info online but cant

We’re coming to Bloodstock for the first time with 2 children aged 3 and under. We’ve done many a festival pre children but not since! We were due to come last year but baby number 2 was due so had to sell our tickets! She will get the joy of her first birthday at bloodstock!!

Anyway slightly panicking the closer it gets! We’ve camped and travelled abroad with both kids with no catastrophes! BUT any advice for attending with littles welcome!

Mainly hoping for answer to the following:

1. best place to camp
2. how easy is it to go back to the car for stuff (because 2 kids a tent and bags just makes me wanna cry thinking about it)
3. The supermarket - what can you actually buy. Like do we need to remember everything or can we rely on the supermarket if we forget something or run out of snacks?
4. any recommendations for essentials to bring ? (Obviously sun cream and headphones)

Hi guys, this will be my 3rd bloodstock however this year due to needing a new tent i ordered the bundle that fat franks had an offer on at the end of april. This is my first time ordering with them. My concern comes with the fact ive recieved no order confirmation but have been billed. Ive sent an email to the contact us email and recieved nothing back. Is this normal? Do i just go up during the festival and give name no order confirmation or should i be concerned?

Any help is great thank you in advance.

So I posted before about bands for 27 and I’ve just seen a TikTok from Vicky saying the announcement will be on the Friday ? Do we get headliners in that ?

I have only been on a day ticker before on the Saturday so I’ve never seen a live announcement

Lastly why is it only Bloodstock that do this type of announcement? I’ll be buying my weekend ticket at the box office again

Excited 😛

Hi guys, long time listener first time caller.

Basically, ive been going through a bit of a mental health blip at the moment, ive attend BOA since 2008 and i also go to Download, damnation, slam dunk and 2000 trees regularly

Metal is my main go to love anything from death, black, doom, power, the lot but i love synthwave, dungeon synth, punk, emo, stuff like sleep token, enter shikari etc etc

Basically, for some reason, my brain has been telling me for the past 3 months that just because I go to trees and download and like the above etc, i don't belong at Bloodstock- as mental as this sounds, even though i've attend for almost 20 years, I just feel like someones just gonna tell me I can't come in.

Im basically, just looking for a bit of encouragement and uplift from you lovely lot- ideally, if anyone has any similar "conflicting" interests to mine that would be great- im just feeling a bit over whelmed at the moment and its making me, honestly, a bit sad and fed up when i should be excited for festival season

Hello everyone. This isnt my first festival but it is my first Bloodstock. I was wondering what I should expect in comparison to Download (probably been spoken about to death), as much as I enjoyed Download I somewhat found it overwhelming just due to sheer size. Any Bloodstock specific tips would be appreciated immensely too. Thanks in advance my future friends

Æl-Fierlen playing Èðe live at Oslo Hackney, London. This is something Bloodstock should book in for us. Do you agree?

How long until Bloodstock will book Thy Catafalque?

First time for me and my friend, done years of other festivals and as we are getting on in life, the last few years have started staying in hotels etc rather than camp due to hating to drag camping gear for miles, poor sleep and horrible showers etc.

So we have booked a hotel in Burton on trent and plan to taxi in and out every day, but im wondering with this being a smaller festival if the camping experience might be better than download/reading and Leeds etc?

What are the walks from car to camping like with gear? Is there plenty of space for pitching tents? Walk to arena time? Shower and toilet facilities?

On the other hand anyone who has stayed off site how is the journey in and out and taxi availability?

Thanks everyone, very excited for our first bloodstock!

Hello. I am going just for friday this year mainly to see lamb of god. I've been to many festivals before but never this one.

What are we expecting it to be like getting parked? Is it pretty smooth or is there a 10 mile queue to get in? Also is the parking pass a physical thing they post out or does it come in an email?

Thank you

Hi! I was just wondering if it was possible to go in and out of the festival throughout the weekend in VIP? For example can I park up on the first day, drive a friend back after the festival on Saturday and return on Sunday morning? Or is it once you are parked, you are parked until you leave the festival. Any guidance appreciated! Thanks
