Bleed Again to headline Download Festival District X Community Takeover
Bleed Again announced as headliner for Download Festival District X Community Takeover
Brighton metalcore mob ready to drop new single and open Download in crushing style
The most recent addition to Bleed Again is their new drummer, Oscar Simpson. Having previously been a regular pit crawler at their gigs, he barely had time to set up his kit when the offer to play Download came in, he reminisces on this very recent past:
"Hopped on the band wagon didn't I... You could imagine my surprise, finding out a couple weeks after joining Bleed Again that we'll be playing Download Festival 2024!!!
My first memory of Bleed Again is getting battered in their pit at Bar 42 (a tiny rock bar in Worthing), now we're releasing a single together and playing the biggest Rock and Metal festival in the UK alongside the bands I grew up listening to. I couldn't afford a ticket this year so to be able to perform and then hang out at the festival all weekend is amazing. What a great year 2024 is looking to be!"
If, unlike Oscar, you haven't experienced Bleed Again yet, fear not! Check out the following video for their 2022 massive single 'Cursed'.
If you're not able to make it to the hallowed fields of Download this year, and happen to be around the Worthing area on the 31st of May - Bleed Again are performing at the Hammerdown Takeover for a special Download Warm-Up show.
Tickets are £8 in advance and £10 on the door, at The Charles Dickens, Worthing. Full details and tickets are available at this link.
Bleed Again will be joined by Sussex special guests Lost Asylum, bringing their loyal following, the inmates, plus support from The Hellfire Club and Bonejaw.
About Bleed Again
Bleed Again are a five piece Metalcore act from Brighton UK. Bleed Again started touring back in 2015 and in 2017 they released their debut album 'Momentum' that was distributed worldwide by Sliptrick Records. Following its release, Bleed Again became Metal Hammers 'Band Of The Month' and were invited to support band's such as Soil, King 810, Darkest Hour, Devil Sold His Soul, Feed The Rhino, The Raven Age and most recently Heart Of A Coward. Not too shabby for a debut!
During this busy period of touring the UK and Mainland Europe on several headline tours, Bleed Again released their second album 'Resurgence' in 2021. Resurgence saw a huge step up in songwriting and saw the band hitting stages throughout the UK.
Bleed Again are back once again with new music and a fresh line up. 2024 is set to be their most successful year yet, with huge festival slots and lots of new music.
