Only\u00a0a month now until metalheads will return to Derbyshire\u2019s Catton Park in the UK, where\u00a0BLOODSTOCK<\/strong>\u00a0welcomes headbangers from all over the world along with 120 bands to another unforgettable 4 day festival experience from August 8 \u2013 11, 2024. Fans can look forward to headliners like Amon Amarth, Architects, and Opeth and see Hatebreed, Korpiklaani, Malevolence, Satyricon, Deicide, Whitechapel, Enslaved, and many more on\u00a0stage or enjoy fairground rides, Viking battles, a gaming arena, heavy metal art gallery, signing tent, or drinks on the festival grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s one more reason 2024 will be a very special year at Bloodstock: By arrangement with Official Mot\u00f6rhead management, Bloodstock has announced that the legendary, late, great Lemmy Kilmister will be permanently memorialised at the heavy metal festival. Some of Lemmy\u2019s ashes will be housed at BLOODSTOCK \u2013 one of only a few places globally \u2013 in a unique urn, with the festival commissioning a Bust of Lemmy to incorporate the ashes. Fans will be able to view the installation and pay tribute to Lemmy and his legacy in the Rock And Metal Museum on site. Once the festival is over, the Bust of Lemmy will move to Nottingham\u2019s ROCK CITY where fans will have access to the ashes; they will return each and every year to their primary home on the hallowed turf of BLOODSTOCK at Catton Park. The ceremony takes place officially on\u00a0Friday the 9th of August<\/strong>\u00a0at BLOODSTOCK. The memorial will be part of a bigger picture theme for the festival this year to commemorate this special news and celebrate the remarkable legacy of Lemmy and Mot\u00f6rhead. In a way, the ghost of Lemmy Kilmister will watch over the fans at BLOODSTOCK \u2013 this year and forever!

\u2013 The RAM Gallery on site will be extended this year to accommodate an expanded Mot\u00f6rhead theme, including a full wall of Mot\u00f6rhead artwork, as well as archive memorabilia, plus you can relive a moment in time by visiting a recreation of Lemmy\u2019s touring dressing room.
\u2013 On site this year, BLOODSTOCKers will see the Mot\u00f6rhead Bomber in the arena, witness various bands paying tribute to Mot\u00f6rhead by incorporating Mot\u00f6rhead tracks into their live sets, and the opening and closing of the festival will be marked with a sounding of the famous Mot\u00f6rhead Air Raid Siren.
\u2013 BLOODSTOCK will also welcome Mot\u00f6rhead\u2019s Phil Campbell to the festival this year and are thrilled to have his participation in these special celebrations.

Even more Mot\u00f6rhead themed activations are still in the works, so stay tuned as this exciting development continues coming together!

Mot\u00f6rhead\u2019s manager\u00a0Todd Singerman<\/strong>\u00a0comments:\u00a0\u201cBLOODSTOCK has always been a special place for Mot\u00f6rhead and for Lemmy. The people and the energy matched Lemmy\u2019s values perfectly. Alan and Vicky were also great friends, and basically family of Lemmy, as he was the reason that they originally got together. This is definitely a fitting honor in the continuing series of enshrinements of Lemmy\u2019s ashes in his most loved places.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Bloodstock\u2019s\u00a0Vicky Hungerford<\/strong>\u00a0adds:\u00a0“We were humbled and honoured to be approached by Mot\u00f6rhead management to have Lemmy\u2019s ashes at BLOODSTOCK. Lemmy holds a very special place in everybody\u2019s heart, but to myself and my husband he was the reason we met and fell in love. Nothing will mean more to us and the BLOODSTOCK family than to honour his legacy and have Lemmy forever at BLOODSTOCK.”<\/em>
