Bloodstock's Metal 2 The Masses is back for 2016

Are you in an unsigned band? Well Bloodstock’s infamous Metal 2 The Masses campaign is coming back for another year!

In association with Amust4music Ltd and Hobgoblin, Bloodstock are trawling up and down the UK – and even overseas for a few days – to track down the best new metal bands in Europe. This year’s M2TM is even bigger than previous with three new UK cities added and for the first time, Bloodstock is hitting Poland!

There are a load of prizes to give away, but the holy grail is of course a slot at Bloodstock 2016! You could be playing the most metal festival in the UK by playing one of the M2TM gigs below! Contact the promoter to get involved.
