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.

Share on FacebookMastodon and Clipse on the same bill?!

kaka kak kak
WAH BLOW
ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES!!!!
Genius in a can!
me first....
and
Neurosis on the same bill, that is odd.
Norway is fantastic
but beer is £7 a tinny !!
Looks like a nice setting for a fest
odd
but brilliant
beer price
just to let you know the beer on the site will cost about 4gbp for 0,5 liter whcih is larger than a pint(i think). on the camping area it will be even cheaper
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?
actually just smaller than a pint
but £4 is still good for scandinavia
more to come
have another 8 confirmed artists which we should release later this week which should give you an idea of where we are heading, sort of..
i think they confuse the situation more than anything to be honest
but in a brilliant way.
Arrrrgh!
Neurosis & Slayer! Here's my left arm... take it please!
if you can get
jr ewing to reform i'll come. actually i may come anyway, norway is much fun indeed.
CSS and Hatebreed?
On the same bill? Genius I tells ya. Now to get to Norway...I feel an expedition coming on.
