Bloodstock’s annual, hugely popular Metal 2 The Masses initiative offers unsigned and DIY bands the chance of being part of the Bloodstock festival experience, alongside the likes of Judas Priest, Gojira and so many more amazing bands. Plans for 2018’s are under way and Bloodstock along with their (and our!) favourite ale, Hobgoblin Beer, are aiming once again to track down the best breaking metal bands across the UK!
Below is the list of participating regions so far (there’s more to come in Europe) – so if you’re in a self-signed or unsigned band and want to try out for a slot on the Bloodstock bill, then get in touch with the promoter near you for details and get yourselves involved!!
One winner from each event will win a slot on the New Blood stage, with way more additional prizes to be announced. Email your nearest promoter on the details below to get full details on the local events and throw your hat in the ring.
In August 2018, you could be stepping on stage at Bloodstock!
