Interview: The Dos & Don'ts of A Festival - Featuring Straight for the Sun (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 Straight from the Sun. Hailing from Birmingham in the UK, they embody the raw energy and force that defines the metal genre. Find a person who claims they haven’t head banged until it hurt when listening to this band, and you’ve found yourself a liar… or someone deaf. Since their 2017 formation, they have been kicking down door after door, and living up to every bit of their potential. They deserve this spot at Bloodstock, and they are going to be one of the highlights of the entire weekend. Which is an opinion shared by many, and something we get into 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.
