Bloodstock 2026 - what an epic weekend (as it always is!) 🤘 everything ran so smoothly in VIP and all the DJs, bands and crew absolutely smashed it! Great to catch up with so many friends (sorry to those people I didn’t see or didn’t see for long) and I did get to enjoy a few bands (check out @bootyardbandits in particular), and I drank a few (well more than a few) beers too.. shout out in particular to @philmcewan for not only taking on VIP and keeping me involved, but pushing it to the next level these last few years.

Finally recovered and now looking forward to 2027 already 🤘🤘🤘 #bloodstock #metal #festival #dj #beer

👹 BLOODSTOCK 26 👹

Another phenomenal year at Bloodstock, where I once again had the absolute honour of being invited back to play.

It's difficult to sum up a weekend like this without it turning into a shopping list of highlights. Incredible sets, hot days into ridiculous nights, familiar faces, new friends and far too many moments that probably shouldn't be committed to writing and/or memory.

A massive thank you to everyone behind the scenes who work relentlessly to make Bloodstock what it is, and especially to the Serpent's Lair team for trusting me with that booth again.

Getting to look out over a packed tent and play music to that crowd is something I'll never take for granted.

And to everyone who came down for one of my sets, danced, sang, shouted requests at me, stopped for a chat or simply crossed paths with me over the weekend - thank you. You made it what it was.

An exceptional weekend, rolled up nicely in a handful of photos that don't come close to doing it justice.

Until next time, Bloodstock. 🖤🤘
