Help Out Deadfest.


Disclaimer: The beauty of hardcore is that when a hardcore kid is in trouble, generally, most hardcore kids will band together to help their fellow man out. When starting this blog, I promised myself that I would not use it for charity purposes, but as someone that has put on shows, I understand how much money has been lost and I also know how bad it feels to not be able to continue doing something you love because of money issues. I have also attended this fest two years in a row and would be gutted if its cancelled. This is why this news feature is here.

Deadfest is Swedens largest hardcore festival. Booked and promoted by Chris, also founder of Dead Vibrations, the fest is growing bigger every year and attracts people from all over the world, showcasing not only some of the best scandinavian hardcore bands, but also bands from all over the world. The weekend, held in Linkoping in Sweden, is one of the better fests in europe and always promises a good time.
Unfortunately, Deadfests future is currently in question due to financial issues. There is talk of the fest being moved to Finland, or being cancelled altogether. This would not only be heartbreaking, but it would also be a huge blow to swedish hardcore.

A paypal account has been set up for Deadfest, not by Chris himself, but by the guys from Rukus.se. If you would like to help the fest out, please paypal money to: helpdeadfest@gmail.com
