Hevy Fest Moves To London Brixton Academy - Killswitch Engage To Headline

Hevy Fest have confirmed that this year's event will not be a weekend camping festival due to a "well-hidden licensing condition". Instead, Hevy will convert to a half-day gig at Brixton Academy, with a smaller London show also lined-up. A full statement from organisers is below.
"Hevy was set to move venue this year and we found the perfect site! It gave us much more room, a more central/easily accessible location, more generous operating hours and it allowed us to drop the dreaded no re-entry rule. It was perfect! We were all lined up to announce our new home, when a well-hidden licensing condition was discovered that would need to be overruled for the site to host Hevy.
Unfortunately the appeal process would take two months and we didn't want to risk a last-minute cancellation if things went sour. So, rather than pursue an alternative and keep you guys hanging even longer, we've decided to shelve the camping set-up until 2014 - and instead put on a load of events with the bands already booked, including a new breed of HevyFest at Brixton Academy."
Hevy Fest will now take place on August 4 and 5 at London's Borderline and Brixton Academy. For line-up details and ticket information, head over to hevy.co.uk
On Saturday 3 August Horse The Band are set to play The Borderline. The Brixton Academy show will take place on Sunday 4 August and will feature:
