Bloodstock 2024 is underway, and the festival atmosphere, which is rarely anything other than good-natured, is thriving. One thing is for certain. It promises to be an epic weekend once more, and MetalTalk will be there to cover the whole event. Possibly the most significant event that will take place on the grounds of Catton Park this year is the celebration of the life of Lemmy Kilmister.
This will run over the weekend, and we will also see the incorporation of some of the Motörhead legend’s ashes into a specially commissioned bust that will be in prime position within the always excellent Ram Gallery.
“Bloodstock has always been a special place for Motörhead and for Lemmy,” Motörhead manager Todd Singerman said. “The people and the energy matched Lemmy’s 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 honour in the continuing series of enshrinements of Lemmy’s ashes in his most loved places. There will be plenty more Motörhead memorabilia on display, and it promises to be quite the emotional occasion.”
