Bloodstock Festival and Hobgoblin are teaming up once again for Metal 2 The Masses at Bloodstock 2014, offering breaking bands the chance to perform on the ever increasingly popular New Blood Stage.
Alongside the tour which visits venues throughout the UK and abroad (see more on that below), Hobgoblin have opened a worldwide search via wychwood.co.uk, inviting acts of all genres of rock and metal to submit their videos online. The contest, where fans can vote for their favourite act, with the winner bagging the coveted slot on the New Blood Stage, is open to bands from every corner of the globe and in exchange for your vote, you could also win the chance to take home a whole host of music-related prizes via the website.
Last year’s winners Skreamer, who tore the New Blood Stage open this year, say:
“Every band in the world wants their name alongside Bloodstock and this time it's our name ! Bloodstock, a name that is synonymous with so many great bands year in year out, known worldwide and a dream for all young, and old, bands to play, the main sponsors "Hobgoblin" not only make great beer, but demand quality in anything they are involved in, and boy have they picked a winner with Bloodstock."
Whilst Metal 2 The Masses co-ordinator Simon Hall adds:
“Working alongside Hobgoblin is the perfect combination for me and the ability to mix my favourite two pastimes and thinly disguise it as a job, is something I'm sure I said would happen to my career advisor!”
