Want to play at BLOODSTOCK?

BLOODSTOCK has teamed up with HOBGOBLIN, who have announced the HOBGOBLIN Newblood Stage. The stage will allow you to try and get your band, or your favourite unsigned band to BLOODSTOCK in 2015!

There are also a few other ways in which you could get a band to Bloodstock, there is the The Metal 2 The Masses programme via video uploads, or good old fashioned CD submissions. Take a look at the options below!

Metal 2 The Masses Tour

Bands can apply directly to local promoters who are running showcase events up and down the UK  These events might also win you a further slot on the Sophie Stage 2016, along with slots on the bill at Wacken (Germany) or Metaldays (Slovenia) and a raft of other additional prizes! This scheme is focused on UK acts and details on all the local events can be found at http://bloodstock.uk.com/events/boa-2015/masses_venues/intro.

Please Note: More promoters/venues will be coming on board all the time so keep checking the website for the most up to date details.  If you have a venue in your region/country that would be interested in running events, please email: simon@bloodstock.uk.com.
