I was able to meet and see a lot of familiar faces backstage, one has to say that the atmosphere at these festivals is the one thing that I do miss, everywhere you look you can see someone that you have toured with along the way of the long journey that we have all traveled, There was also an autograph signing opportunity where we got to meet many fans many that have been with us for many years, so a great and very rewarding day all around, great to be bacKK!<\/p>\n<p>I hope to see you all soon.<\/p>\n<p>K.K.<\/p>\n<p>Myself and Ross decided to create a cool commemorative limited edition t-shirt in hope that our treasured time together at Bloodstock will live on that bit longer, available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manicmerch.com\/ross_the_boss\">https:\/\/www.manicmerch.com\/ross_the_boss<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi All Just checking in after saturday gig at Bloodstock festival It was a big thrill to see such a large crowd of metal fans face to face again after so long , Ross and the band played a phenomenal set with some of their well-known classics and at one point I thought that this [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5832,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[881,513,277,808,40,374,750],"class_list":["post-5828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-steel-mill-news","tag-bloodstock","tag-judas-priest","tag-k-k-downing","tag-k-k-downings-steel-mill","tag-kk-downing","tag-manowar","tag-ross-the-boss"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>K.K. reports from Bloodstock ! - K.K.
