HELLFEST’S OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Hellfest has been cancelled. After a full day in court in Burlington County, NJ, Hellfest was unable to meet unreasonable demands brought to Hellfest’s attention by the Sovereign Bank Arena on August 16, 2005 at 6:21 PM, and to be met by August 17, 2005 at 7:00 AM. Actions were taken and Hellfest had an injunction filed by noon on August 17, 2005, but was overruled by the judge.

We send our deepest apologies out to the fans and everyone who was involved with the event and want you to be aware that legal action is being taken. For ticket refunds please contact the Sovereign Bank Arena box office.

THERE WILL BE A FULL STATEMENT TO BE RELEASED FROM THE HELLFEST STAFF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

would not have went anyways ,So no big deal here

more like shit fest

well, it's not like I'm loosing ALL my money on the hotel room.

Noty necessarily. I hear New Jersey is beautiful this time of year. If you enjoy sleeping inside a turd.

Hellfest this weekend - rescheduling bands may be performing at Bloomfield ave cafe in Montclair & the first Unitarian church in Philly; as of now, the promoters (papermusic, radiotakeover, etc) have not officially cancelled the event, however, the venue issued this statement in regards to it being held at the arena in Trenton http://www.sovereignbankarena.com/press/Hellfestcancelled.html

legalese is hard.

hopefully they can recover.

1) rescheduled a ticket fighting date
2) took friday and monday off from work
3) created a folder on my computer for every band
4) watch code on RttP for a whole day to see where I could speed things up...
5) didn't request the gigatour or anything else cause of this.

FUCK!

i think we should get yer hotel $ back aaron..it's not our fault we had to cancel

http://www.area43.net/

http://www.area43.net/

the people in NJ probally didnt really understand what hellfest really was and that there was really no barior around the stage untill they picked up the dvd and saw it in action and realized that there was no security and the amount of fights..... no fun so they cancelled it

I remember people going to #2 or #3 and there was a sign on the club that said "hellfest was moved" and the directions led you to a place where people were dancing to ABBA. and then they moved it to the fair grounds. then to NJ.
and now to good bye.

i always said it was unorganized

Well, I guess I'm not going to see you this weekend. :(

i know :(

http://hellfest.ytmnd.com/

That's the best YTMND I've ever seen, and this whole thing is making me laugh. It's like the best joke ever.

yeah, I'm laughing so hard now that I'm going to miss megadeth tour as well..
ahahahahaha

Well, it sucks for you I guess. I don't know, I just have a sick sense of humor that way. Maybe it's because I'm selfish and I wasn't going to this or something. I don't know, whatever.
