Hovefestival: first bands announced

Hovefestival is 154 days away!

On Thursday we announced our involvement with the inaugural Hovefestival. A fantastic new event in Norway that plays host to a incredible varying bill across day and night stages, all by a beach with boat camping and more.

Now we've chosen to announce the first batch of bands to be appearing across the weekend. This is a very small sample of the array of acts performing across the five-day event and there's lots more - of bigger and smaller sizes - to be added.

So, without further ado:
Paul Wall
Clipse
Me First And The Gimme Gimmes
1990s
The Presets
CSS (pictured)
Hatebreed
Slayer
Mastodon
Neurosis
Pleasure
120 Days
Ingrid Olava
She Said Destroy

You can find out more (if you can read Norwegian) by visiting www.hovefestival.com. An English website launches soon and we'll be selling fantastic package deals real soon too.

secretly american?

"...package deals real soon..."

I am most excited about Neurosis. I tend to wait and see who most of the artists are before buying tickets for a festival; at which point they're all sold out. Which is annoying.

Why don't festivals wait until most of the acts are announced before selling tickets?
