Summer never ends


Deep into Summer 2010, and fest season is in full swing. This week, im going to feature the three that I think are the “must go tos” of 2010

Filled with Hate Fest (including ticket giveaway!)
Filled with Hate records, a German independent hardcore label, has some of the hardest bands on its roster. Their annual fest, being held in Essen, Germany, on the 6th and 7th August, features some of these bands and some added extras. This incredible line up includes Slapshot, Shattered Realm, Next Step Up, and the Essex’s own Special Move. 2 days of the most brutal bands held in one of the best venues in Europe.

I will be giving away a pair of tickets to the fest (this does not include accommodation or travel) on Saturday 24th July on my show. To find out how to listen, please go here:

Sonisphere:
Not one to support the bigger, corporate events in the rock and metal world, this time its different. Sonisphere hasn’t been around for long, but has featured some of the biggest bands in the Metal/Hardcore/rock world.
This year, Sick of It All will be playing alongside some of the best metal and rock bands around, including Motley Crue and (ahem) Papa Roach. Saturday is the only day worth going to, to be honest. If you want to go to a fest that covers the whole spectrum, this is for you.

Ieperfest
There is one fest that I attend, every year, without fail, and that’s Ieperfest. This is, by far, the best hardcore festival in the world, and the best open air festival around. I say it every year, but the atmosphere is electric, and everyones needs are catered for, from the vegan food served everyday, to the “afterparty” held on Friday and Saturday night for the kids who want to keep going. The line up is always incredible with this year being no exception. Agnostic Front, 7 Seconds, Madball, and Converge all on the bill along with an array of metal bands such as Dying Fetus and Black Dahlia Murder. If you have to choose one fest to go to this year, go here..
