Earlier this month marked the long awaited, triumphant return of Bloodstock Open Air to the green fields of Catton Hall, and what a return it was! 20,000 metal fans gathering together for a weekend packed full of incredible live music is always going to be a fun experience but with an extra full day of bands being added to the proceedings it was guaranteed to be unforgettable. Of course we just had to be there to experience it alongside everyone.
Check out the galleries below of all the bands kicking off the first 2 days of this incredible weekend.
