Bloodstock 2022 Band Feature: Solar Sons
Bloodstock Open Air 2022 takes place from August 11th and August 14th with a line-up that might be one of the best the festival has ever put on. A wide array of rock and metal acts spread across four stages, it’s looking likely to be a weekend not to be missed. Pick up tickets here.
Every year, you’re guaranteed to see some great bands across the entirety of the festival but one stage that often gets overlooked is the Jägermeister stage. It shouldn’t really, because of its positioning, but some of the fest’s finest shows have taken place on this awkwardly sized stage. You’re always guaranteed to see something special over the weekend and one such band who are surely capable of pulling this off is Solar Sons.
A band that should need no introduction is Dundee, Scotland’s Solar Sons. A band that hit the ground running upon their inception in 2014 and haven’t looked back since. The riff-drenched, high-energy, catchy head-bangers have released 4 albums to date. 2016’s The Great Blue Divide, 2017’s Retrograde Motion, 2019’s Subliminal Criminal and most recently, 2021’s Chameleon.
Each new release has built up this band’s profile and it is still amazing that a 3-piece are capable of making such infectious groove noise.
Of course, this isn’t their first rodeo at Bloodstock either. Having performed in 2017 after winning the Inverness Metal 2 the Masses. Playing the New Blood stage year, bringing in a massive crowd and having everyone talking about it afterwards. We know, we were there.
Can they top that this year? There’s no question that the Jägermeister stage is the place to be on the Saturday of the festival. We can’t wait and neither can the band. We spoke to them and they told us what it meant to be back at the festival and what fans can expect from their show.
Solar Sons are delighted to be returning to Bloodstock in 2022. It’s a highlight of the year in the metal calendar, so to be asked to join the bill is a real honour. We can’t wait to unleash a thunderous set and blast some new music for the legendary bloodstock crowd!
