Bang Your Head!!! Festival To Hold Weekend Online Celebration

July 16-18 was supposed to be a celebration of the German festival's 25th anniversary...but then Covid-19 cancelled everyone's plans. For those that can't support/attend the multiple-day, in-person celebration, at the Eisbar, in neighboring Esslingen (metal DJ, prizes, party and a simulcast of Saturday's events), there's a global, virtual alternative. As stated, July 18 there will be an online program, featuring a collection of past performances, as well as new interviews/content from the organizers, workers and assorted familiar faces that fans won't get to otherwise see/hear from, this year.

Here are the details of what will transpire (all times are European, so subtract 6 for NYC/Toronto, subtract 9 for California) detail what to expect on Saturday, July 18, on their YouTube channel.
