COVIDMANIA XX

[Juggz]

Summer 2020 is a very different landscape from the usual event-packed few months, so to maintain a sense of community, Bloodstock has joined forces with twelve of the best independent metal festivals in Europe to create a unique online event for both bands and fans.

The European Metal Festival Alliance is a joint venture between Bloodstock and Alcatraz (Belgium), Art Mania (Romania), Brutal Assault (Czech Republic), Dynamo (Netherlands), Into The Grave (Netherlands), Leyendas De Rock (Spain), Metal Days (Slovenia), Midgardsblot (Norway), Motorcultor (France), Party.San (Germany), Resurrection (Spain), and Summer Breeze (Germany).

A special streaming event will take place across the weekend of August 7 - 9 offering exclusive live performances from a selection of yet-to-be-revealed artists chosen by each festival, as well as exclusive new interviews, and more. As a fundraiser for the beleaguered independent festival sector, who don't have the backing of big corporate money for their survival, viewers will be asked for €6.66 (that's just under 6 quid) for a 'full festival pass.' In return, they will enjoy three days of live performances by 35+ metal bands at various locations around the world and other exclusive content, from the comfort of their own home. Virtual ticket purchasers will also get a discount on a European Metal Festival Alliance 'Rebooting for 2021' T-shirt.

Meanwhile, to get warmed up, the newly launched destination website at MetalFestivalAlliance.com will host a wide range of previous footage from this festival co-operative, including many sets not previously broadcast, throughout the summer.

The lineup and schedule for the streaming event will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets will be available Friday, July 10 from MetalFestivalAlliance.com.

We'll be doing our first official Bad Reputation stream tomorrow - Friday June 19th at 8pm, with Zealot Cult in Dolans Warehouse, Limerick.

We're calling it Kickin' and Streamin' and will be doing more as the weeks go on. Each stream will be free with the option to donate to the charity of the bands choosing.

We'll be sharing details on our social media but they'll all be done directly to our Youtube channel.
