The heavy metal festival Bloodstock Open Air Festival is being held at Catton Park in Walton-On-Trent, Derbyshire, and will feature performances by bands like Green Lung, Grove Street, and Mimi Barks.
Rock legend Lemmy Kilmister, the frontman of Motorhead, will be remembered and his ashes will be on display if you plan to attend the Bloodstock Open Festival, which takes place from August 8–11. Lemmy Kilmister, who was diagnosed with cancer just days prior, passed away in December 2015, at the age of 70.
Phil Campbell of Motorhead stated: “Lemmy would want to be remembered as a true rock ‘n’ roll legend and a man of integrity.” Moreover, he stated, “He was a one off.”
“Calling all Official Motorhead fans and metalheads,” was the message posted by Bloodstock Festival on their Facebook page on July 23. Motorhead activations on-site at BLOODSTOCK in 2024.
“A recreation of Lemmy’s changing area! Along with paying your respects at the specially-constructed bust holding Lemmy’s ashes, you’ll be able to view a plethora of authentic personal artifacts, such as his signature hats, boots, bass guitar, and hand-drawn images, in addition to handwritten lyrics, dressing room accessories, and an exclusive collection of his personal images.
“At Bloodstock 2024, Lemmy’s dressing room will be located next to the Rock and Metal Museum, which is accessible to all attendees.”
“The specially-made bust will be put in Lemmy’s dressing area when it is presented on the main stage on Friday at 6:15 p.m. (following HATEBREED) in a special LEMMY FOREVER ceremony with festival management and the band’s Phil Campbell.
“The Rock and Metal museum will reopen soon after the ceremony on Friday, at which point Lemmy’s dressing room—which will not be exposed to the public—will be briefly closed for the event.
“LEMMY FOREVER” was the final words posted in the message.
“People will be able to go and share their thoughts with Lem or whatever they want to do,” said Phil Campbell, who is scheduled to speak at the Lemmy tribute, to Sky News. “Or yell and scream at him for playing too loudly, or do something else. I did that frequently.”
In 2015, Motorhead posted the following on their Facebook page to announce Lemmy’s passing: “After a brief battle with an extremely aggressive cancer, our mighty, noble friend, Lemmy, has passed away.”
While Ian Fraser Kilmister was his true name when he was born in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, in 1945, he went by Lemmy at school.
Lemmy was one of Ozzy Osbourne’s closest pals, and he passed away tonight. We shall mournfully miss him.
