Want to grab a chance for your band, or your favourite local band to win a slot on 2014’s Bloodstock Festival bill? Read on.
Anyone who went to Bloodstock earlier this year saw strength and depth of metal on the upgraded big top Newblood Stage. With the ale-loving Hobgoblin continuing their support of Bloodstock, the commitment to underground metal grows with Bloodstock's Metal 2 The Masses.
Bloodstock has an ever-increasing number of venues and promoters in the UK and overseas supporting their scheme to support 'new blood' bands, and in addition to their 'battle of the bands'-style roadshow, there's a raft of other entry platforms to get bands on to the bill at the UK’s heaviest of festivals.
Further to the tour itself, which begins in May 2014, Bloodstock will also be taking CD submissions, and their Hobgoblin pals will be continuing their M2TM video upload programme worldwide, as in years prior.
This year Bloodstock have no less than 20 regions covered in the UK, including places as far afield as the Channel Isles, so if you’re unsigned or self-released and fancy sharing a spot on the bill with likes of Megadeth, Down and Emperor, get in touch with any of the following venues and make it happen.
