IT’S SO SAD THAT BLOODSTOCK IS CANCELLED THIS YEAR!
Vicky Hungerford (Bloodstock Festival Director): “It was inevitable, unfortunately. A year without any gigs is really strange. In 20 years, I’ve never not had Bloodstock, so it feels like a gaping hole. But this is what we need to do to get past this horrible virus.”
ABSOLUTELY. BUT IN A MORE POSITIVE LIGHT, WE’VE GOT THE EUROPEAN METAL FESTIVAL ALLIANCE! WHAT IS IT?
“Europe’s biggest independent events all work together when we’re booking bands. It’s a consortium, The United Festival Force. So when this happened, we all said, ‘Why don’t we create a huge festival alliance? If we join forces and join our social media and all our fan-bases together, we can create this huge streaming event.’ The audience that the bands will get is huge. We worked out it’s over 2.3 million between all of us.”
