Alt-Fest

Right if you’re reading this then it’s fair to assume that you’re a horn throwing metal moshing maniac and as such are going to be expecting a helluva lot of bang and bands for your buck. Well fear not because you’ll not be disappointed, you’ll be getting three days of some of the best metal bands around from all the major sub genres and we’ve even set aside a nice big field for you too so if you do get a bit tired and want to watch without flailing around like a mad person then there’s going to be more than enough room for you.

Not only that but we’ve also gone and treated you to a very special stage known in the trade as a Saddlespan. These are a unique stage build in that they allow for approximately 2,500 people to be under the covered span in the unlikely event we get any rain and still allow up to 10,000 people potentially to view the bands outside of the covered roof span. This means you’ll be able to mosh without that awkward walk back to your tent looking like an animated clod of mud.

Currently we are still booking the majority of the metal stage bands and all 3 days of headliners on the metal stage are still to be announced. The entire line-up will be announced by early 2014 with announcements for the headliners and co-headliners expected from October. Watch this space as the line-up unfolds!
