We are now a mere seven days away from the 2024 Bloodstock South Wales Metal to the Masses final. The culmination of months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears from competing bands, fans, and of course, the team behind the scenes who spend many hours promoting, arranging, and everything else that makes this annual event such a success.
In the past two years, the event has evolved substantially. Last year saw heats take place at The Bunkhouse in Swansea and Fuel Rock Club in Cardiff, with the final held at Fuel. 2024 sees a huge step forward, with the announcement of the Day of Wreckoning. A bold and brave move by the promoters, the 2024 grand final will now play out at the Patti Pavilion in Swansea on 29th June, with the six finalists battling it out for the right to play the New Blood Stage at Bloodstock Open Air in August. But what makes this special, is the stacked five band line-up that follows the final.
Headliners Discharge need no introduction, and if you’ve not heard of Raging Speedhorn then one wondered where you have been all this time.

South Wales longest running music site, the excellent Musipedia of Metal will be running interviews with all the finalists in the run up to the day, so get across to their socials here to learn more about each of the competitors. The South Wales official Bloodstock Metal to the Masses page is also running profiles of the five guests, so if you don’t know about them, follow their Facebook page here to find out more.
It’ll be a piece of history in the South Wales metal scene. Make sure you are a part of it and grab a ticket before it sells out. I’ll see you there.
