Korpiklaani @Bloodstock 2010

Finland’s Korpiklaani are by far my favourite folk metal band and this was my second time seeing them. I was ecstatic! The first time I had the pleasure of seeing Korpiklaani play was at my first Bloodstock Festival in 2007 where they blew everyone away with their hugely entertaining set. This years Bloodstock was no different. Korpiklaani were undoubtedly one of the concert’s highlight bands for me, not only because they put on a great live show but they were such a joy to shoot.

Bloodstock 2010

Three weeks removed from the 10th Anniversary of Bloodstock and I’m still in the process of editing a huge collection of photos from what turned out to be an epic festival.

The weather this year was little shot of disastrous. Short bursts of torrential rain hit hard from day one and overnight had transformed the campsite into a sodden, muddy marsh. Despite the atrocious conditions, campers seemed more than amped up for what was to be the biggest BOA since its humble beginnings back in 2001. The line up this year was stacked to say the least. Boasting a plethora of bands such metal giants Opeth, Fear Factory, Children of Bodom and Cannibal Corpse.

Overall this was a brilliant festival and probably my favourite Bloodstock despite the atrocious weather. Be sure to keep your eyes on my blog for the next few weeks. I will be posting photos and short reviews of some of the acts I got to shoot, such as Korpiklaani, Sonata Arctica, Doro and Evile.
