As previously reported, this year's Hole In The Sky festival is scheduled for August 21st - 25th in Bergen, Norway. Organizers have issued the following update:
"Greetings everyone, it's been a while. Thursday is now completely sold out and there's only a few tickets left for Wednesday. 90% of the weekend tickets are gone too. Here is the deal though. Blood Fire Death is a big celebration of the great traditions of thrash, death and black metal. Although, before we start this great party of ours, we thought we should give everybody a glimpse of what’s going on in the alternative communities. Therefore we've had the great pleasure of inviting some pioneering acts for a little pre party. These artists are taking a lot of inspiration from metal and other contemporary music forms and in the end, moulding it into something completely new and unique. We have dubbed the kick-off, set to take place at Garage on Tuesday, August 21st of Extreme Noise Terror. Do you dare? SHINING, MONOLITHIC and LASSE MARHAUG will grind you down. Tickets are 150 NOK and you'll find them here ."The event features the following confirmed running order:
