BLOODSTOCK BUILD IS GO! THE FINAL COUNTDOWN IS ON!

It’s critical mass over at festival HQ this week, as the site build begins and at last, we can say one week til BLOODSTOCK! Weekend tickets are now SOLD OUT, but if you missed out and hope to still snag one, or indeed, wish to re-sell yours as you can no longer come, you can do that here. There are still some day tickets left; perhaps the perfect taster if you’ve never been to BLOODSTOCK before but are missing live music! Whatever your ticket, do make sure you are up to date with our latest Covid-19 info here, to avoid any delay getting your wristband on arrival or if you have any concerns while on site.

 

A number of bands confirmed for 2022 will be announced on the big screens at the festival, so keep an eye out when you’re there to hear the latest news first! 2022 weekend tickets will be on sale from the box office on site at a 2021 base level price, without a booking fee. A range of 2022 ticket options (including VIP, but minus day tix which become available nearer the time) go on sale at the ticket store on the Monday immediately post-event. There’s only 5% VAT on the ticket prices up until September, so grab yours early to save some pounds.  

 

Regrettably, due to travel issues, VIO-LENCE are no longer able to make it, but super hot duo WARGASM and Sheffield metal squad MALEVOLENCE both land last minute slots on the main stage bill. 

 

There’s all types of delicious food available at BLOODSTOCK, so whether you’re a carnivore, vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free, you’re sure to find something to tuck into, and there’s plenty of hand sanitiser stations to go around. How does this sound… burgers, pizza, tacos, burritos & quesadillas (even for breakfast), Belgian waffles, smoked meats, chicken, ostrich (all hail the Jack Daniels’ onions & stilton mayo), pie & mash with mushy peas, giant Yorkshire puds, gourmet ravioli, chips (including curly and sweet potato fries, or wedges), mac n’ cheese (in a wrap, if you must), cakes, nachos (even with vegan cheese), hot dogs, paella (Paellaria tell us everything is gluten-free too), not to mention the return of Bunnyman’s Bunnychow (try the steak or vegan chilli in a hollowed-out loaf, with a garlic bread dipper), and a halloumi & falafel stand. Many of BLOODSTOCK’s food vendors pride themselves on being locally sourced and sustainable, and as part of BLOODSTOCK’s continuing Be Greener drive you’ll see all food packaging is compostable; please recycle in the appropriate bins! Wash it all down with a milkshake from Shaken Udder, all kinds of coffee/tea, a hot choc with all the trimmings (see the waffle folks), a cocktail, a chilled pint from Lemmy’s Bar (perhaps try one of over 100 ales & ciders on offer over the weekend between arena bars & VIP), or shots of our favourite Jagermeister! There’s also free drinking water at designated water points in the campsites and main arena, so remember to bring a refillable non-glass bottle with you. Missing something? You can pick up other essentials at the campsite supermarket. Check out more details at: https://www.bloodstock.uk.com/events/boa-2021/traders
