CANNIBAL CORPSE + THE ROTTED
February 2009
18th PORTSMOUTH – Wedgewood Rooms
THE ROTTED with Akercocke, Dam and more to be announced
May 2009
3rd LEEDS – DEATHFEST @ LEEDS – University Union
The inaugural UK DEATHFEST will take place in Leeds in May 2009.
Akercocke, THE ROTTED and Dam are the first of many extreme additions to play at the 16 band, two-stage event at the Leeds University Union on Bank Holiday Sunday, May 3, 2009, which is being organised by the team behind Damnation Festival.
And in a bid to beat the misery of the credit crunch and gloom of recession, a 'January Sales' offer will see tickets put on sale tomorrow morning at 9am for just £14.50 until the end of the month. Festival organiser Gavin McInally said: "Following the continued success of our Terrorizer Stage at Damnation Festival over the past four years, we felt it was time to give some of the UK's most brutal talent the main stage to themselves.
"The first of hopefully many UK Deathfest events will feature two stages; a main stage of predominantly death metal and an alternative second stage crammed with doom, sludge, grind and even some thrash if we can squeeze it in.
"We're delighted that Akercocke, The Rotted and Dam are already on board and we promise further stellar announcements in the coming weeks."
Doors will open early in the afternoon at UK Deathfest with bands being staggered between the stages throughout the day.
Gavin added: "In recognition of Britain's sorry financial state right now, we've kept our ticket prices to a bare minimum and friends sharing Travel Lodge rooms in Leeds can get booked in for as little as £10 each right now so we hope to enjoy the support of the UK's extreme metal fan base without putting a dent in wallets!"
UK Deathfest will take place on Sunday 3rd May at Leeds University Union with Akercocke, The Rotted and Dam confirmed with more bands to be announced.
