Tuesday, December 22. 2009CHILDREN OF BODOM & FEAR FACTORY CONFIRMED AS CO-HEADLINERS FOR BOA 2010 CHILDREN OF BODOM CHILDREN OF BODOM have defied all odds, breaking out of the so called “Euro-Metal” scene to become one of the biggest names in metal across the globe. 2008’s “Blooddrunk” album saw the band reach new heights, truly being embraced by the metal community, gracing magazine covers worldwide, including that of BLOODSTOCK media partner METAL HAMMER, and a sold-out tour of the UK with BOA 2010 partners CANNIBAL CORPSE. Famed for frontman ALEXI LAIHO’s impossibly fast shredding/soloing, as well as his guitar vs keyboard duels with keysman JANNE WARMEN, COB’s place as headliners of BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR - at their only UK show of 2010 - is testament to how far they’ve come, and is not to be missed. Alexi commented: "I'm really glad we're playing Bloodstock next year – it's the only UK show for us in 2010, and the crowd over there has been awesome for us lately!"  FEAR FACTORY LOOK OUT FOR A SPECIAL HEADLINER ANNOUNCEMENT ON FEB 1ST 2010!!! The BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR METAL FESTIVAL 2010 will take place at Catton Hall, Derbyshire from 13th – 15th August.

Regards Bloodstock Team Wednesday, December 2. 2009TRAVEL TO BLOODSTOCK IN COMFORT For the second consecutive year Festival Tour Bus will be providing affordable coach travel to Bloodstock 2010, merging with their Festival company Festi4 they are now offering you a more complete Festival Package. After the excellent feedback from last year’s passengers they have streamlined their routes making the travelling time shorter to ensure the comfort of passengers as their foremost thought. As well as this they will be offering a range of Festival necessities on their website www.festi4.co.uk and giving customers the option to pre-purchase a snack pack for the return journey. The snack pack will include a refreshing drink, a selection of snacks, a handy wipe and an after dinner mint. These will be given to you before boarding the homebound coach. So forget about those worries of trying to book and navigate train stations, crowded carriages and stacking rucksacks in the over flowing luggage rack. Leave the car at home and avoid traffic jams and a sober weekend. Instead why not recline your seat and relax with their onboard entertainment in a cool air conditioned luxury coach. Where your seat will be guaranteed for a return journey and our drop off point is at the festival door. Offering 16 centralised city pick up points, and a ticket starting from £53 per person, they guarantee to get you to Bloodstock on time. As a special offer to you a limited number of discounted Queue Jumper tickets will go on sale in December 2009 so grab yourself a bargain before it is too late. Visit www.festi4.co.uk to book yours. So by choosing to use Festi4 instead of a car/train to get to Bloodstock 2010, you are helping reduce congestion on local roads, reduce your carbon footprint and you get to travel with likeminded festival goers to the biggest metal party of 2010!
