You’ve seen the Kerrang! albums of 2024. Now check out what the staff were all listening to this year…
Get heavy. Get art. Get in!
Don the corpse paint! Polish yer spikes! And prepare for a sore neck! Yes, we have a pair of weekend tickets to give away to this year’s Bloodstock Festival, headlined by Judas Priest, Gojira and Nightwish.
And if that isn’t heavy enough for you then the supporting cast also includes Emperor, At The Gates, Cannibal Corpse, Devildriver, Watain, Doro, Suicidal Tendencies, Powertrip, Conjurer and Pallbearer, among others. The tickets – worth £145 each – include camping at what should be an unbridled celebration of heaviness over four days, and across four stages.
As well as this year’s ferocious line-up, Bloodstock has also cranked up the art exhibition hosted at their on-site RAM Gallery. Set-up four years ago by festival founder and renown artist Paul Gregory, the gallery will feature a wall dedicated to the art of Judas Priest as well as featuring Paul’s own work.
The festival’s luthier in-residence, Cynosure Guitars, have also created a set of guitars in celebration of the which will also be on show at the gallery. These include British Steel guitar inspired by Priest’s classic 1980 album.
Also exhibiting at the gallery will be K! snapper Paul Harries whose classic Slipknot shot graces the cover of the current issue of the magazine. Paul will have nine prints on show and available to purchase at the gallery.
