Bloodstock Festival 2012 – Catton Hall, Derbyshire
(review n pix by mwj)
The final outdoor expedition of the year for me, though I’ll still be camping at The Dirty Weekend in Wrexham. And while spoiling myself rotten with Euro metal parties may have brought a twinge of cynicism over the relative value for money you get here at the largest of the small/independent, rock/metal festivals in the UK, I couldn’t deny the excitement building in the week before. Yes there may be a lot of filler on the lineup, bumped up with battle of the bands winners and obscure euro exchange program acts, but this is offset by the convenience of the festival meaning it is the biggest gathering of likeminded metal head friends from all over, so the crack more than fills in the gaps.
