Greetings fellow metal heads. You may have noticed we’ve been having a few technical problems with the site, whilst this is extremely annoying for all concerned the positive side is it’s due purely to the amount of traffic we are now generating.
We have moved to a dedicated server so within the next few days the site should settle down.

Let me say from all the Bloodstock team, many thanks for your patience and support.

Hi Bloodstockers

Let me firstly apologise to anyone that has been experiencing problems trying to purchase tickets online over the last few days, the site has been extremely busy with record numbers of tickets being sold for this years Bloodstock Open Air Festival .

We have been experiencing a few technical problems with the new server over the last four days that has meant the site was either running to slow or we have had to take it down while we work on it with the server people to resolve the issues.

The Bloodstock website has become a very busy place since the new site went online, with thousands of people Buying Tickets and interacting with the forums, bloodstock unsigned, Bloodstock store, gallery, competitions, etc..

I will be monitoring the Bloodstock website very closely over the next few days to try and make sure that we have no further downtime of the site .

Regards

Webmaster

Exploder will be the band to kickstart the proceedings on the Friday main stage. Probably one of the best kept secrets in the UK metal scene at the moment, Birmingham’s Exploder released their debut album last year, featuring 10 tracks of insanely infectious anthemic stadium rock perfect for getting those heads nodding and feet tapping.

With the album released in the States next week, a video on rotation at Scuzz TV and a cracking 4/5 review in Kerrang!, everything is in place for Exploder to quite literally EXPLODE onto the metal scene and who better to detonate them than the UKs no1 metal festival, Bloodstock Open Air !!!!
