Bloodstock Needs Metal Bands!

• 20th Feb 2008

The UK’s premier Metal Festival – Bloodstock Open Air takes place in Derbyshire from 15-17 August 2008 and they’re on the look out for the next Iron Maiden, Metallica and Helloween.

With 30 performing slots up for grabs on the Bloodstock Unsigned stage and a track record for launching the UK careers of Nightwish, Dragon Force, Evile and Death Stars amongst others they have an undisputed keen eye in discovering new talent. Now they want to find future headliners!

BOA is looking for promoters and venues from all over the UK to make contact as under the banner of “Metal to the Masses”, each UK region will have representation courtesy of the fully endorsed Festival promoter partner/ venue. Bloodstock works with the venues in planning the events ensuring smooth running and maximum exposure for the host and performers.

Some areas are already confirmed but there are still some slots available for those with the right ideas and energy out there to stake a claim for before the full list announcement. Bands will be featured on www.bloodstock.uk.com throughout June and voted for “by the fans for the fans” with each winner guaranteed a performance slot. There will also be an opportunity at the Festival itself to be crowned “Bloodstock Breakthrough Band 2008” which earns the band all sorts of goodies including industry recognition and a main stage slot in 2009.

Those interested in supporting the underground & unsigned scene whilst highlighting their reputation as a key provider of Metal and Heavy Rock Music should make contact with Bloodstock’s Head of marketing:
