covid-19

Bloodstock’s motto has long been “by the fans, for the fans” and today the independent, family-run festival reconfirms that sentiment remains firmly at its core, by announcing the recent government VAT reduction will be passed on to its customers. 
 

Sadly the upcoming W.A.S.P. “1984 To Headless” tour is cancelled due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

Read the official statement from the band below. Refunds will be available from point of purchase. Stay tuned for some exciting new W.A.S.P. announcements soon!

Band statement:

Last year, Swedish symphonic power metallers Majestica, formerly known as Reinxeed, unleashed their debut album “Above the Sky”, via Nuclear Blast.

Now, since their spring tour has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band have decided to do a live stream on Saturday May 16th, streamed via their Facebook page.

Bassist Chris David comments: 

Iron Maiden have announced new rescheduled tour dates for Summer 2021.

Read the band’s official statement below:

“I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and well, wherever you may be, and my continued thanks to you all for bearing with us so patiently.

Due to the continuing health issues Worldwide around Covid-19 we regretfully inform you that Iron Maiden will now not be playing any concerts until June 2021.

Following the continuing government recommendations on mass gatherings and social distancing this summer, Bloodstock Open Air Festival has issued the following statement:
 
“Dear Bloodstockers,
 

Corners Of Sanctuary (COS) has released a free digi download pack titled “Quarantined Lockdown”. The digital download includes the band’s brand new COVID-19 track, “We Won’t Back Down (Do or Die)”, along with demo versions of the songs “Victoria” and “Only One”.
 

The #NapalmSofaSeries is in full swing! To date, many Napalm bands have participated with acoustic concerts, Live Q&A’s, virtual gigs, release parties and even signing announcements - all streamed live or pre-recorded in their living rooms, studios or rehearsal rooms and watched by over half a million metalheads so far. To thank fans for their continued support of artists all over the world, we have even more exciting and creative content for you!

With the Covid-19 pandemic far from releasing mankind from its clutches, there was no better time than to release a shard of light into the growing darkness with the approach of “Hostage” by the American Hard Rock meets Heavy Metal band, Hydrogyn, featuring their new vocalist, Holly Hines Freed.

With the world in a current state of quarantine, lockdown and uncertainty due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, positivity for our global community seems to be in short supply. Everyone is looking for a way to cope.

Social media platforms have become the norm for virtual interaction and connection as social distancing is in full effect. And in the wake of the virus’ strong hold on day to day activities as well as the global economy, music venues have closed, concerts cancelled and tours postponed possibly until 2021.

Atomic Stuff Promotion is proud to support a commendable initiative, put in place by artists that are part of the Burning Minds Music Group family. A huge call for hope and recourse in our country during this hard time; this project has been put into action by musicians in the way they know best: Music.
