It’s tough trying to explain why you should go to a festival that’s not happened yet – all you can go on is past experiences. If those are anything to go by, however, you should definitely go to Bloodstock 2018. Some info What: Bloodstock Festival Where: Catton Park, Walton-On-Trent, Derbyshire, DE12 8LN, England. When: August 9th to 12th Tickets: Weekend £152, Parking £16.25, Child Weekend £39, Day £69, VIP – SOLD OUT It doesn’t feel like one big advert BOA will never match “Barclaycard presents BST Hyde Park” for sheer marketing audacity.

Code Orange Dead Cross The Bronx Zeal and Ardour Cancer Bats The Fever 333 Rolo Tomassi Anti Flag Every Time I Die Scars on Broadway
