Ghostfest 2013 – first few bands announced

30th January 2013 0 By Craig

Following last year's 2700 capacity sellout weekend of mayhem, GHOSTFEST is back on 29 / 30 June 2013 and promises to raise the bar even further with even more big hitting names in metal and hardcore than ever before.

The first of many huge band announcements is:

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, THE ACACIA STRAIN and VEIL OF MAYA who will be joined by

I WRESTLED A BEAR ONCE, BURY YOUR DEAD, HARMSWAY, VANNA, ODESSA, MALEVOLENCE, CHRONOGRAPHS, TWITCHING TOUNGES and DEPARTURES.

Toyan St.Hilaire, GHOSTFEST’s director, comments:

“I have to be honest, after the sucess of last year's Ghostfest, I really felt the pressure to put together an event to match it, but this year has well exceeded what I was hoping for! Once again there'll be three stages and a varied mix of bands, so there will be something for everyone and we've booked some of the biggest names the festival has ever seen. This year is going to be BIG! Stay tuned for more announcements".

For the second year in a row, GHOSTFEST is partnering with Impericon and Rock Sound magazine and have brought in Hype clothing this year as the second stage sponsors. With more big hitting announcements over the coming months, Ghostfest 2013 is set to be the biggest it has ever been!
