Interview: The Dos & Don'ts of A Festival - Featuring Hammer (Bloodstock 2024)

The dos and don'ts of a festival. We’ve all got some rules we subscribe to and think others should too. Rules that keep you safe, rules that ensure you have a great time overall, and rules that ensure it’s a festival to never forget. In this interview, we ask an artist/band to give us three dos and three don’ts of a festival, while discussing their own upcoming experience. In this case, it’s Bloodstock Open Air 2024, which is right around the corner. Taking place August 8th to August 11th, the UK’s premier metal festival has, once again, delivered a stellar line-up. One such band on the bill is Hammer, the five-piece extreme metal band (who just so happen to have tons of groove) from Edinburgh in Scotland. They will play Bloodstock Festival this year, having earned their spot at the festival by emerging as victors of Scotland’s 2024 Metal to the Masses event. On route to the festival, they’ve been keeping busy and latest single, ‘Accelerator’ is out now. We talk a little bit about the new single in this interview, as well as talking about their journey to Bloodstock, what they’re hoping to get from the experience, what they plan to deliver when it comes to their set, the three dos and don’ts, and so much more.
