Bloodstock M2TM South Wales Interviews: Daytura - East Heat #1 Green Rooms 07.02.26

 Interview with Daytura - East Heat #1 Green Rooms 07.02.26

1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.

With an authentic sound reminiscent of Led Zeppelin and Heart’s golden era of progressive we command attention both live and on record. Our sound blends razor-sharp riffs and searing vocals with authentic blues grit, creating an atmosphere that is as electrifying as it is emotive.

2. What made you want to participate in the Metal To The Masses South Wales 2026 campaign? 

Have you had previous experience? 

Or is this your first time?

This is our first time, be gentle we have been actively growing over the past year and we really want to play at Bloodstock, the festival means so much to us all and to play would mean the world.

3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?

Grassroots is the most important thing in music, I get right on my soap box about this, but truth it is. Without grassroots and local support within the scene bands don’t progress, they don’t learn and they don’t grow. It becomes a stage for the rich and connected rather then the heart expression which connects with people that love and care for music.

4. We have a slightly different set up this year with Heats/Quarters/Semis taking place at Green Rooms.

Have you played the venue before or is this your first time?

Are you excited to get on those stages?

I have wanted to play The Greenrooms for a while and we were so lucky to get into this heat because now we can!!

5. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?

I said before but we are actively growing, we’re playing more shows and we want to build connections and a community. That only comes with actually getting out and meeting people in real life. The live music scene is where we thrive and building relationships with people is at the foundation of that.

Over the last few months we have been entering a lot of the festival heats/ competitions/polls etc and even though we haven’t progressed through some of them we have connected with so many more people then before, that have heard our music and actually like it. Which really means so much!

6. What would getting to our Day Of Wreckoning final and the possibility of playing Bloodstock Festival 2026 mean to you?

It would mean the world, I’m sure everyone says this. To play somewhere you have dreamed of, and being validated for pursuing your dreams would feel incredible.

I found myself onstage, I am free and I feel alive, I just want to keep doing that as long as people let me.

7. We encourage all the bands in M2TM to try and check out the other bands, who are you most looking forward to? Who should your fans also try to catch?

I am so looking forward to Catalysts, I follow them on socials and they are the most fun, I’m really looking forward to watching them perform!

8. Tell us in five words why people should come and see your band?

You will have a blast!
