Written by Johnson Stephen on November 10, 2021

bloodstock metal 2 the masses Bloodstock’s hugely popular, grass roots-supporting ‘Metal 2 The Masses’ scheme gives unsigned and DIY bands the chance of being part of the Bloodstock festival experience.

After the festival’s biggest and most successful year in 2021 – an absolute triumph in the face of adversity – the M2TM programme is back!

Plans are already well underway with local promoters and Bloodstock is aiming once again to track down the hottest new metal talent who’ll win slots to perform on their Hobgoblin Beer-sponsored New Blood stage.

M2TM 2022 will initially take place in 28 regions across the UK, Ireland and Norway, with further regions to be announced as soon as possible. If you’re in a self-released or unsigned band and want to try out for a slot on the Bloodstock bill, get in touch with the event nearest you and get yourselves involved!!

Full details of venues and who to contact to enter in each region, can be found here https://www.bloodstock.uk.com/events/boa-2022/venues

Bands should get their applications into their nearest regional promoter ASAP, as heats kick off in the coming weeks. Any local promoters in regions not yet represented can email Simon Hall at [email protected] for information if they wish to host the scheme in their local area.

One winner from each region will secure themselves a slot on the New Blood stage and some of the very best runners-up may also get lucky, space permitting. In August 2022, you or your favourite local band could be stepping on stage at Bloodstock!
