Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses - South Wales

17/06/2026

🚨 ATTENTION 🚨

Welsh heavy riff unit Lifer informed us today that they wouldn't be able to perform on Saturday due to an emergency medical issue.

We totally understood and we wish them all the best with recovery, as they're as gutted as we are.

So we were left in a quandary, but with some string pulling and the spirit of rock n roll behind us (probably) we've managed to secure a brilliant replacement in the shape of heavy rocking, powerhouse trio Häxan

They'll be taking Lifer's place in Le Pub making sure the riffs still ring out nice and loud at Day Of Wreckoning.

Check out the updated poster and timings below and get a glimpse of what to expect from Musipedia Of Metal's new preview of the day in the comments

This just in from Day Of Wreckoning

After the weekend we've had we're pleased to give you some good news!

As many of you saw Cranial Seperation will not be playing Day Of Wreckoning or ever again.

So taking their slot in The PIT - Basement Venue at McCann's Npt will be the heavy, occult rhythms of Tumanduumband keeping the noise level nice and loud.

We have also been informed that due to medical issues Z Machine have had to withdraw from playing this year, however we wish them all the best and will hopefully get them to come back again!

So kicking off the day at Le Pub with their anthemic brand of power/prog we have Bristol's Awake By Design who will bringing technical skills and soaring vocals.

Both are brilliant additions to this year and we're looking forward to them taking the stage alongside our M2TM Finalists, Guest Bands and The Wildhearts

Want to see them?
