Dirt-cheap, indeed.

Bad news ! :

Hi guys;

Steve here. Bad news I'm afraid. I'm having to postpone "Rock Of Ages Fest 2009" until later in the year owing to circumstances beyond my control.

I do apologise for this, and will let you asap with regards to new arrangements for the event later in the year. The rescheduled event will honour any tickets already sold, or if refunds are desired, this will happen.

Please check back regularly for updates on the rescheduled event. Please do not take as read that everything will be as was confirmed for the event for June 20th/21st.

Nobody is more dishearted and let down than me at this point, however, we will rebuild, and reschedule, and will hopefully see you later in the year.

Regards
Steve

Bummer.

I hope Imperia will still play at the fest on that later date (perhaps add it to their, hopefully, upcoming tour...).

Hi guys;

As you know, "Rock Of Ages Fest" had to be postponed for reasons beyond our control as previously explained.

We are looking at a possibility that has arisen for ROAF to be rescheduled and relocated for November 20th, 21st and 22nd, however, this means that significant changes will need to be made to accommodate the event on a three day structure.

We are in the process of getting the paperwork and legal stuff sorted for it, but I believe it is best to forewarn you that the new possible location is in LONDON and we will need to review whether the price of admission will be adjusted because of any licensing or safety costs incurred.

Again, I do apologise for the inconvenience caused by the postponement. We had tried to find a venue in Wales to take the event, but sadly our calls and emails to various venues in and around the Swansea, Cardiff, and even the Bristol area went unresponded too.

We are hoping to have two stages (one small indoor one, and one larger outdoor one), and the venue is rumoured to be putting on booze promotions that will be the cheapest in the region =)

We will keep you posted. =)

Regards
Steve

Hi Everybody;

Steve here. Great news. We are now beginning to re-schedule and re-book "Rock Of Ages Fest 2009". The dates provisionally confirmed for the festival are November 20th, 21st & 22nd.

Many more changes will follow. We are aiming to re-book our headliners Praying Mantis, Lauren Harris, Imperia and Al Atkins' "Holy Rage", pending their availability, and we will obviously keep as much of the line-up as are available, however, as an added bonus, we will be increasing the bill from a 27-band line-up to a 60-band line-up.

The 60 bands will play across 3 days and 2 stages at London's "The Bridgehouse 2". The capacity, sadly, will be reduced significantly, and the remaining details are still TBC, but we are now moving forward. Stay tuned for more updates.

Regards
Steve

Enjoy ! ;D ;D ;D
