Hellfest 2005 Is Cancelled
Hellfest was set to happen this weekend in New Jersey and Metal Underground .com was to be there covering the event. However, the official Hellfest site has been updated with a message stating that the event has been cancelled. Here is the statement:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, Hellfest has been cancelled. After a full day in court in Burlington County, NJ, Hellfest was unable to meet unreasonable demands brought to Hellfest's attention by the Sovereign Bank Arena on August 16, 2005 at 6:21 PM, and to be met by August 17, 2005 at 7:00 AM. Actions were taken and Hellfest had an injunction filed by noon on August 17, 2005, but was overruled by the judge.
We send our deepest apologies out to the fans and everyone who was involved with the event and want you to be aware that legal action is being taken. For ticket refunds please contact the Sovereign Bank Arena box office.
More information to come.

if your really p***ed than get off your asses and write letters, emails, or whatever to eric cuthbertson at the aforementioned email address telling him what this music means to people like you and I, but if you sound as ignorant as you do on this site than you will probably just reinforce their bullsh** reason for the cancellation. he is the soul reason the fest was cancelled so b**** about him not our president. you can always influence change...by emailing cuthbertson, or voting come next election.....so why not try that .........and not all metalheads are anti-bush because like religion, politics is a personal choice and doesnt have to have anything to do with the music a person listens to, so please stop the ignorance, it will only hurt everyone in the long run
