Hellfest komt met nieuwe naam ter vervanging van Down

De organisatie van Hellfest heeft een vervanger gevonden voor Down. Zanger van Down heeft inmiddels ook zijn spijtbetuiging doorgegeven aan het festival Hellfest, dat plaatsvindt van 17 juni 2016 t.e.m. 19 juni 2016.

De band Puscifer zal de vervanging van Down voor zich nemen. Zij zullen optreden op zondag 19 juni op de stage The Valley. De band Fu Manchu zal de headliner zijn op Hellfest op zaterdag 18 juni 2016. 

De zanger van Down heeft inmiddels ook zijn spijtbetuiging doorgegeven aan het festival Hellfest:

'Dearest Ben-

Philip H. Anselmo here Brother..

First, and foremost, there is NO WAY I can possibly thank you enough for "fighting the good fight" for me, and ALL of my bands, namely Down in this instance. Your love & backbone will never be forgotten, and from this point on through the rest of my fighting life, I owe you every ounce of praise!

My AWFUL mistake has taken a toll on my reputation, and justly so! However I must point out, you damned-well KNOW ME better than this drunken incident could ever describe. Hellfest is my heart!!! And my embarrassment is tremendous, because I only have LOVE for people all over this skirmishing earth.

So my brother, it fucking rips my heart into further pieces to let you know, I don't think I should do ANY Euro festivals this year. So PLEASE I BEG YOU, give me this time to get my brain clear, and to come back (if you will have me back) next year my brother, I implore you! Plus, the re-emergence of the knee injuries have been plaguing me of late as well, so I must address this too, through physical rehabilitation & rest.

Knowing my character, when I put my mind to something THIS DIRE, I come back 100-times better, and THAT'S what the Mighty Hellfest deserves!!! 

My love for you & the rest of the gang that makes Hellfest THE TOPS, goes on and on and on...

Much love & respect-

Philip H. Anselmo (and the H. stands for HEALING)'
