This morning Hevy Festival has unfortunately cancelled their insane festival due to licensing conditions. However being the amazing people that they are, they have provide some awesome shows for the future and there is promise of even more.
Hevy Fest at the O2 Academy Brixton on August 4th will be £28 and see the likes of:
Killswitch Engage
Hatebreed
Comeback Kid
*Special Guests* TBA
Sylosis
Evergreen Terrace
Heights
Empress
And with HORSE The Band’s support still to be announced for their only UK show on the 3rd of August at The Borderline who knows what Hevy can pull out of this bad situation.
All tickets will go on sale on June 12th and 9am here.
Here is the statement via the Hevy site this morning:
“Hevy was set to move venue this year and we found the perfect site! It gave us much more room, a more central location, more generous operating hours and it allowed us to drop the dreaded no re-entry rule. It was perfect! We were all lined up to announce our now home, when a well-hidden licensing condition was discovered that would need to be overruled for the site to host Hevy.
Unfortunately the appeal process would take 2 months and we didn’t want to risk a last-minute cancellation if things went sour. So, rather than pursue an alternative and keep you guys hanging even longer, we’ve decided to shelve the camping set-up until 2014 – and instead put on a load of events with the bands already booked, including a new breed of Hevy Fest at Brixton Academy.
Current ticket holders will be offered a refund.
We are currently working on more events to be announced as soon as possible. Hevy would like to thank all the bands, agents and venues for their help in making these shows possible.”
