‘Smoke weed, drink booze and hail satan!’  

Welcome to the first episode of Miss Jason’s Britain, hosted by Dazed100 alum Miss Jason. 

The dynamic fashion reporter is taking us on a tour of the UK to showcase all the weird and wonderful things happening on our often miserable island. 

This week, he’s at Bloodstock Open Air, a heavy metal festival held annually at the Catton Hall in Walton-on-Trent, Derbyshire. Originally a one-stage-only festival, it has expanded to five stages with a capacity of 15,000. Last year, the festival welcomed 20,000 metalheads. 

What do you get when you put Miss Jason into a festival with 20,000 metalheads? Magic, of course. 

Watch the first episode above.
