As we head into February the January blues have now gone, we are all still reeling from Christmas, but Bloodstock Open Air 2007 will be the BIGGEST Bloodstock Metal festival yet !! With summer approaching apart from a good holiday, we all need a GREAT METAL FESTIVAL !

We have all been very busy behind the scenes and we would like to let you all know. This is so you, the fans, have a festival this year you will never forget ! We have had some technical issues with the Bloodstock unsigned section of the site, bands have been struggling to upload their videos, only 9 bands so far have managed it, but over 100 bands have applied. This issue is now being addressed and in the next 7 days ALL bands should be able to upload their videos : ) On another note regarding the website, we have been increasing our traffic flow to the site through various channels, and we are extremely pleased to say traffic & visitors to the site has increased by 100% in the past three months.

As with any festival that plans growth, you aim as a festival for bigger bands, which means bigger agents & longer more drawn out negotiations ……, in the next few weeks we will be announcing some superb bands, including the Friday headliner for BOA, keep watching this space. I ask you all please bear with us, I can assure you it will be worth the wait : )

We have had such a surge of amazing bands both signed & unsigned desperate to play Bloodstock this year; it has been very very difficult turning some bands down. The amount of emailed applications by agents and bands has trebled in the last year.

I would like to let you all know that we do view all comments posted on the Bloodstock forum, all points are taken on board good or bad, we cannot please you all but we try to please the masses !

I will ensure we keep you all regularly updated on news & announcements, keep watching our news and Blog sections.
