Congratulations to all the bands who’ve reached them and a huge thanks to all the venues who’ve put them on – and you, the fans, for turning up to support the foundations of metal!
Band could also submit CDs directly to Bloodstock HQ, and a few have already been given slots. There’s still time to enter your band via the third method to win a spot on the New Blood stage. You have until 8th July to upload your band’s video to Hobgoblin’s Video Upload site. An outright winner lands a slot at Bloodstock, but a selection of runners up will win airplay for their band’s video on Scuzz TV!! Get all the details here.
Here are the dates for the 2016 Bloodstock Metal 2 the Masses finals.
