Refused, Sikth & More For Hevy Fest 2016

By Rob Barbour

Hevy Fest, the annual 2-day festival specialising in music at the, well, heavier end of the spectrum, has announced its first acts for 2016.

Refused, Sikth, While She Sleeps, Animals As Leaders, Gnarwolves and Hacktivist will be helping Hevy christen its brand new home in Derbyshire. They’ll be joined by Krokodil, No Consequence, Devil Sold His Soul, Take Me Out-bothering Essex metallers Forever Never, Vukovi, Murdock and When Our Time Comes.

The Main Stage headliners are still to be announced.

It’s no secret that Hevy Fest has seen more than its share of misfortune in the past but the success of 2015’s event meant we had it marked in our calendar already. Now we’re even more excited.

Hevy Fest takes place on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 August in Newhaven, Derbyshire. For tickets and information, visit www.hevyfest.com.
