#BOA21 ANNOUNCEMENT!
There’s just 29 days left to BLOODSTOCK and the remaining tickets are flying, so don’t wait if you want to join the fun this year, as it’s looking very likely the event will sell out in advance.
With international issues continuing for some artists, DARK TRANQUILLITY have had to cancel, but we’re thrilled that the very epic Loathe are able to join us in their place on Friday’s Ronnie James Dio main stage
Similarly, BURY TOMORROW have had to pull out, but we welcome While She Sleeps in their place.
UNLEASH THE ARCHERS have also unfortunately dropped out and they will be replaced on the Sophie Lancaster stage by British rock squad Black Spiders
Due to LOTUS EATER splitting up, death metal bruisers FOETAL JUICE will now step into their spot!
This year’s Metal 2 The Masses scheme played out in a rather different landscape to the norm, but we applaud the efforts of the local promoters who’ve made a success of their heats despite an array of logistical issues. As such, we’re thrilled to announce 10 more winners from various areas across the country, who’ll each win a slot on the New Blood stage on Friday or Saturday:
Landing slots on the Friday are extreme metal 5-piece, Terminal Sun who win the Sheffield competition, the Essex victors are death metal squad Beyond Extinction, Somerset’s champs are melodic alt metallers Sail Band, Manchester’s top dogs are tech thrashers Beyond Salvation, and Severenth bring home the prize for North Wales.
Snagging slots on Saturday’s New Blood stage are Hitchin’s stoner/grunge winners Black Atlas, Norwich sludgers A Horse Called War, blackened death trio ASCARIS take the Bristol area prize, Newcastle’s goes to groove metal squad Desolation, while London’s victors HAWXX are also the winners of PRS’s Women Make Music award! Congrats to them!
