Bloodstock Festival: In Conversation with Adam Gregory
from Primordial Radio Podcast · host Primordial Radio
We caught up with Bloodstock Festival organizer Adam Gregory to talk all things Bloodstock, Winter Gathering, 2026 Lineup and the future of metal. Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7 👇https://links.primordialradio.com/listenIn this conversation, we look back at Bloodstock 2025, its rapid sellout, and the logistical shifts that allowed more space, smoother flow, and a stronger experience for fans and bands alike. We discuss the comeback of indoor events through Bloodstock Winter Gathering, and how they're reviving its original 2001 vision, but this time choosing KK’s Steel Mill as an ideal spot due to its feel and spirit. The goal? To build stronger ties among attendees, musicians, and the core Bloodstock community, all while supporting independent venues. We also look at changes to ticketing laws, booking headliners, and what’s ahead for 2026. Though it took ten years, Adam shares how they finally got Body Count confirmed, and also touches upon some bands he personally would like to book for Bloodstock. In addition, Adam tells us why he believes metal is far from fading. Instead, arguing the scene remains vibrant, driven by younger fans, local venues, and the power of intimate shows that keep the genre alive for the next generation.
