UK Tech-Fest Postponed To 2022
UK Tech-Fest has postponed this year's event to 2022, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. UK Tech-Fest will now take place on 30th June - 4th July 2022, at the Newark Showground. Tickets for 2021 will be valid for the 2022 event.
Tickets for UK Tech-Fest 2022 can be purchased here.
The organisers have released the following statement:
"It breaks our hearts to bring you this news that UK Tech-Fest 2021 is cancelled. UK Tech-Fest will now take place Thursday 30 June – Monday 4 July 2022. We’ve been exploring all options to make the festival happen this year, but plain and simply there’s just too much stacked against us.
"We’re not the first to cancel and sadly we won’t be the last, as the main factor for us all is insurance. We really wish we had a crystal ball and could see what will happen in June. Going by the roadmap, in theory we should be fine, but the fact that the Government haven’t put their money where their mouth is and cough up a Government-backed insurance scheme for the festival and live events industry, says it all. As a small, independent festival we can’t afford to take the financial risk without the security and protection from such a scheme.
"And then there’s the bands, many of our international artists have had to cancel their shows and can’t travel to the UK. We’ve explored booking a UK line-up but (while that would be awesome) there’s still the big risk without insurance.
"Current ticket holders – your tickets will automatically be valid for 2022 and refunds will be available to those who wish. Thank you to those who rolled their tickets over last year or donated their tickets, if you are able to do so again this year we would be extremely grateful.
"For all ticket enquiries check out our FAQs: https://uktechfest.com/faqs or email
tickets@uktechfest.com
"Tickets for 2022 – we’re delighted to announce we have instalment tickets available so you can pay for your ticket monthly from now to June 2022. It’s been a hard year so we hope this helps spread the cost. http://uktechfest.gigantic.com/
"If you can support us further we would love you to check out our new merch store – lots of discounts and bundles available! https://merch.uktechfest.com/
"Stay safe and we’ll see you in Newark next year. Much love, the Tech-Fest Team"

Hypno5e Seeking Crowd Funding For New Album
French sonic alchemists Hypno5e have officially launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kiss Kiss Bank Bank to help fund a third studio album. Get all the details right here. The following press release was also issued about the band:
"Since the beginning of their career in 2004, Hypno5e always kept one eye on the future, refusing to cave in to convention and coming up with a wildly ambitious but massively coherent blend of techniques and ideas that are markedly forward-thinking.
"Their 2012 second full-length album 'Acid Mist Tomorrow' was widely praised for its willingness to take chances and experiment with intriguing, dark ambiences worthy of some enigmatic and dark movie, an edgy, pummelling metallic aggression and some technical eccentricity.
"The campaign will run until April 17th, 2014. If you wish to support Hypno5e accomplish their goal, please visit this link and contribute to the campaign." More...

Pit Stories: The Ill-Timed Stage Dive
Every week we check in with fans and bands to get their mosh pit stories from metal shows. This time around bassist Gredin of French experimental act Hypno5e has shared a story of an ill-timed stage dive.
It was in Chandler, in the south of Chicago, 3 years ago, it was our first American tour with Hypno5e, the gig was going so well that I decided to jump into the crowd, brainless. The thing was that the lights were pretty bad so from the stage I couldn't see a thing. I happened to jump on a fat lady in her fifties, she rolled over and crashed under a table of the bar. I was too excited to notice anything, my comrades on stage were laughing while playing but I didn't understand why...
After the show I was told about all that, the lady s ankle was a little hurt and she was saying she was looking for the one in charge to sue him. Fortunately, the woman was the mother of a good friend of the guy who booked the show (a really good fellow by the way) so she stopped complaining at some point. That's the day I learned that going to court was the American way for having the wealth charges payed back since they didn't have any welfare system.
To hear tracks available for streaming online and find out what's going on with the band, head over to the Hypno5e MySpace music profile. Be sure to check back in again next Tuesday as we share more stories from the mosh pit.
