With 10,000 anticipated attendees witnessing exclusive Festival appearances from virtually the whole of the Main Stage line up, this is THE event for all fans of Metal and Hard Rock everywhere. Bloodstock - a Virtual Festival award winner - is renowned for a friendly, safe atmosphere. "We always strive to maintain our roots and to ensure that we are an approachable Festival, keeping the balance between establishing new bands and bringing the cream of the scene to our attendees. Above all it should be fun for organisers, fans, bands and crew. The figures and response shows we're on the right track and the feedback ensures we stay on that track" - Paul Gregory, Festival Organiser explains. The Festival's form for discovering "tomorrow's talent today" with a history of bringing previously unknowns as Night Wish, Dragon Force and Death Stars to the industry notice remains undiminished with 2 supporting stages dedicated to unsigned bands from all over the UK. Indeed Nightwish return to their UK "parents" and Evile are promoted from a previously unsigned slot to Main Stage for 2008. World wide interactive gaming phenomenon Guitar Hero 3 makes an impact this year as Bloodstock holds its' own search for a Champion. Hosting those proceedings and maintaining metal mayhem till the wee hours will be the return of "4 djs of the Apocalypse" complemented with the now legendary Alternative Metal Karaoke. Additionally, the Metal Market, Beer tent, a wide range of food concessions & merchandise, Security patrolled Parking and Camping area, Bloodstock signing tent for all attendees to meet and great their favourite bands and a whole host of extra features ensure that is the liveliest event in the Festival calendar and for Derbyshire in 2008.
