BLOODSTOCK IN SEARCH OF STAGE ANNOUNCER


Do you reckon you got what it takes to be a main stage announcer?
You got the drive, attitude, delivery skills and the balls to introduce some of the biggest bands in metal?

Well here’s your chance.

Bloodstock are offering a one lucky winner an opportunity to plant their feet firmly on the Ronnie James Dio Stage and introduce a band at this year’s event, alongside a guided tour to see behind the scenes, meet the organising team and generally be part of the whole experience. Sounds pretty cool right?

So all you need to do is grab you iphones or video cameras and show us what you got – introduce a fantasy line up (we really don’t care how you do it) but remember the best one wins the full works backstage and gets to face off with the Bloodstock masses!

Upload your clips to any hosting site such as youtube, vevo or dailymotion and and send us the link to comps@bloodstock.uk.com and we’ll choose a winner!

Entrants can be humorous, informative, serious, scary it really doesn't matter so long as it’s unique yet not offensive!

So now’s your chance to be part of Bloodstock 2013.

Links must be online by July 18th with the winner to be announced shortly after.

BLOODSTOCK FESTIVAL 2013 - THE KING DIAMOND CHALLENGE

To celebrate the legendary KING DIAMOND’s headline slot, there’s a special KING DIAMOND face-painting competition on Friday. We want to see a sea of King Diamond fans paint yourself up with your favourite KING DIAMOND make-up (any era you choose), if you want to try and win some Bloodstock goodies then head over to the Sophie stage and speak to the DJ team there to register your entry for the King Diamond Challenge. The overall winner, judged later that day, will receive some awesome Bloodstock goodies.

Also to add to the weekend’s fun, there’s an overall BLOODSTOCK weekend ‘fancy dress’ competition for those who love to dress up silly just because they can! Why do fancy dress for one day when we can do it for the whole weekend. Take a photo of yourself on site, dressed in whatever crazy outfit you reckon will win, upload it to the Bloodstock Facebook page to enter and you could win yourself some special Bloodstock prizes. We’ll be paying close attention so be as crazy and adventurous as you like
