BLEED FROM WITHIN Take Us Behind The Scenes Of Their Summer 2026 Tour

BLEED FROM WITHIN open the doors to their extensive summer touring schedule with the first episode of their new tour vlog, following the Scottish metal force from the moment they leave home and begin their journey toward Spain. The first destination is Santiago de Compostela, where the band are heading for Resurrection Fest, a festival that holds a particularly special place in their history. Guitarist Craig Gowans reflects on the band’s previous appearance at the festival in 2022, remembering it as one of their top five shows ever. The vlog captures the beginning of another demanding touring adventure, from the flight to Spain and the long journey toward the festival site to the moments of downtime the band manage to find along the way.

After the lengthy drive, the members take advantage of some free time to visit the beach before eventually settling into the hotel area. Away from the stage, the vlog gives a glimpse into the preparation that goes into a festival performance, with the band going through their setlist and getting themselves ready for another major show. Guitarist Steven Jones also looks back on the band’s 2022 Resurrection Fest appearance, describing that performance as one of his personal favourites. Drummer Ali Richardson shares his own memories of the show, making it clear that the previous visit left a lasting impression on the entire band.

Once Resurrection Fest is underway, the vlog moves into the live portion of the journey, with footage from the performance showing BLEED FROM WITHIN back in front of the Spanish crowd. Following the show, the band are clearly pleased with how the performance went, but there is little time to celebrate. At around three in the morning, the group are already leaving for La Coruña before continuing their journey to Barcelona, where another festival appearance awaits at Rock Fest. The relentless schedule becomes increasingly obvious as the band move almost immediately from one major show to the next.

The Barcelona stop brings another challenge: extreme heat. The band openly discuss the temperatures, while also looking back at some less-than-impressive catering from the previous day. BLEED FROM WITHIN describe the Rock Fest performance as the warmest show they have ever played, with live footage capturing the intensity of the occasion. Frontman Scott Kennedy admits the heat was brutal but still considers it a good show, perfectly summing up the attitude required to survive a summer festival run. Episode one is ultimately a look at the reality behind the performances — long journeys, little sleep, scorching stages, questionable catering, and unforgettable shows — with BLEED FROM WITHIN continuing to push forward.
