Bloodstock Open Air
# Bloodstock Open Air

Das Bloodstock Open Air ist ein jährlich im August stattfindendes Heavy-Metal-Festival in der englischen Ortschaft Walton-on-Trent, Derbyshire. Das Festival fand erstmals im Jahre 2005 statt. Nach eigenen Angaben ist es das größte unabhängige Metal-Festival im Vereinigten Königreich. Bei den Kerrang! Awards 2016 wurde das Bloodstock Open Air als bestes Festival ausgezeichnet.
Zwischen 2001 und 2006 gab es auch ein Hallenfestival, bei dessen erster Ausgabe gerade 700 Zuschauer kamen. Das Festival begann als zweitägige Veranstaltung auf einer Bühne. Seit 2009 gibt es vier Bühnen, wobei die dritte und vierte Bühne in der Regel lokalen Bands und Newcomern vorbehalten sind. Wegen der COVID-19-Pandemie fand das Festival 2020 erstmals nicht statt.
