Artist News Festival Line-Up Update Gigs & Festivals
Festival line-up update Hevy, Fusion, HRH Blues and more
By Aly Barchi | Published on Monday 22 July 2013
Having failed to find a viable new site for its erstwhile weekend festival, replacing that instead with a series of mini-events, Hevy has now cancelled (very nearly) all its live activity this year. This means the Killswitch Engage-headlined replacement show it advertised at the Brixton Academy won’t go ahead, and all that remains is a date featuring Horse The Band, this at the London-based Borderline on 3 Aug. Tickets to that are available here.
Says Hevy HQ: “Despite our best efforts to continue without the camping set-up, the change of venue has been more problematic than anticipated. It is time to draw a line under 2013, and look to the future to make sure next year’s festival is everything Hevy should be. This has been a turbulent year for us, and we are very sorry to have let our audience down”.
That apology made, it’s on to news of new additions at the Prince’s Trust-backed Fusion, Hard Rock Hell’s new-for-2014 Blues branch, Dundee’s Hordes Of Belial and the first ever instance of Song, By Toad’s Pale Imitation Festival…
