FOR THE BANDS

• QUITE SIMPLY THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A BREAKTHROUGH ACT TO PLAY AT BLOODSTOCK IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS IS SECOND TO NONE. YET SHOULD THEY MANAGE TO PLAY IN 2009 THEN THEY ALSO STAND THE CHANCE OF PLAYING THE MAIN STAGE IN 2010. YES THAT’S RIGHT, THIS IS NOT A ONE YEAR DASH – WE’RE OFFERING ALL ACTS THAT PLAY THE 2009 FESTIVAL (AND HAVE ENTERED VIA THE METAL 2 THE MASSES CAMPAIGN), THE OPPORTUNITY OF OPENING UP THE MAIN STAGE THE FOLLOWING YEAR. TAKE THE EXAMPLE OF BANDS SUCH AS "EVILE" WHO STARTED OF BY GRACING THE SECOND STAGE ONLY TO GO ON TO SUPPORT MEGADETH ON A MAJOR UK TOUR AND RETURN TO GRACE THE BLOODSTOCK MAIN STAGE IN 2008. COULD THAT BE YOUR BAND OR A BAND FROM YOUR VENUE?
• EVERY BAND FEATURED IN THE M2TM TOUR WILL RECIEVE PROFILE COVERAGE ON THE ASSOCIATED BLOODSTOCK WEBSITES
• WITH ONLY 20 SLOTS AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE, VIA THE METAL 2 THE MASSES CAMPAIGN, THE ATTENTION WILL BE FOCUSED ON MUSICAL ABILITY, PERFORMANCE, PROFESSIONALISM AND RAW POWER. BUT THIS IS A COMPETITION FOR METAL ACTS OF ALL GENRES – ROCK, POP, RAP, INDIE AND OTHER NONSENSE NEED NOT APPLY!
• FOR EACH OF THE FOUR NOMINATED BANDS AT EACH EVENT THEY GET TO SHOWCASE THEIR ACT AND IF THE BLOODSTOCK CREW THINK MORE THAN 1 ACT ARE WORTHY OF A PLACE AT THE 2009 EVENT WE’LL MAKE IT HAPPEN – IT’S ABOUT THE MUSIC NOT RULES AND REGULATIONS!
• LIKEWISE IF IT IS THOUGHT THAT IN ANY WAY THE BANDS AT ANY ONE EVENT DID NOT MAKE THE GRADE, THEN THE UNALLOCATED SLOTS WILL GO BACK INTO THE BOA POT FOR OUR TEAM TO CONSIDER ACCORDINGLY.

BOOK EARLY AND DONT MISS YOUR CHANCE!
