The Road To Bloodstock 2027…

The idea that a journey is as important as any intended destination is well-worn. But it’s so true. When you buy a gig ticket, you are not just paying for the few hours of live music – you are also acquiring all of the excitement that floods your body in the build-up to the event. The earlier you commit to a concert, the more you get for your money – every extra hour between right now and the day of the show is an extra hour you can commit to investing in the music of whatever bands you’re going to see.

Knowing that a gig is on the horizon somehow elevates the experience of sitting in your bedroom with your headphones on. The more deeply you know the songs of an artist, the more connected you will feel to those people around you in that concert arena who have committed in equal measure to that same singer or band. And the moment of grand unification – when your personal relationship with the music you’ve been listening to transmutes into something even more profound – will live with you forever.

All of which means I am enjoying every second until the gates to Bloodstock Festival open just as much as I’ll appreciate the actual four days of live music. Looking forward to a festival is the ultimate journey – soooo many bands and soooo many opportunities to be part of something soooo much bigger than yourself! Here are the Bloodstock artists who I’m most looking forward to spending hundreds and hundreds of hours with:

  1. Tortured Demon
  2. Left To Suffer
  3. Make Them Suffer
  4. Space Of Variations
  5. Sylosis
  6. From Ashes To New
  7. Gaerea
  8. Imminence
  9. Motionless In White
  10. Electric Callboy
