Damnation Angels Drops Off Ridgefest 2015

Damnation Angels will not be appearing at the upcoming Ridgefest 2015, with the band issuing this statement:

"We're sorry to say that we've had to pull out of next weekends Ridgefest. It was a tough decision but many elements forced us to pull out. Mainly due to the contract for the show not being signed along with a serious lack of promotion and doubts of whether the festival would actually even go ahead.

"Our doubts started when the Facebook page promoting the festival became completely silent early March but we hung on and pressed for the contract to be signed until it was too late to make plans for travel and rehearsal. Both us and our management thought pulling out was the best course of action. We apologize to any of our fans who were attending, we were really looking forward to the show!!"

The organizers of Ridgefest also recently posted this message online about the status of the festival:

"Righto folks, here is the story. Lots and lots has gone wrong with this the very 1st Ridgefest, over ambitious maybe, naive certainly, inexperienced ooh yes, finished ooh no.

"Having always stated that Ridgefest will happen but facing very difficult decisions to keep it to the original two day affair we have decided to scale it down to a Saturday all dayer, this was not taken lightly but is the only option other than a full cancellation of the event.

"We also accept that a totally different ticket price is now needed, and in light of the much smaller event we have taken the decision to offer a bargain basement price of £10 pre sale or £15 on the door!

"Will Ridgefest happen? Yes without doubt, it has been scaled down and will take place on Saturday May 2nd, doors open at 12.30 and close at 00.30."
