> HELLFIRE FESTIVAL LAUNCHES 'HELLFIRE CLUB'
The team behind the Hellfire Festival, one of the UK’s best loved indoor rock/metal events, have announced a brand new spin off event. The Hellfire Club is a mobile version of the main festival concentrating on niche areas of the genres and moving around the UK.
The first Hellfire Club kicks off at Club Revolution in Peterborough and runs from 7th – 9th May.
Rob Ferguson heads up the Hellfire team and in his usual understated way, had this to say:
“The Hellfire Club is the bastard child of the Hellfire Festival and will be bringing terror to a venue near you as it tears around the UK with reckless abandon! The Hellfire Club brand is a mobile mini version of the festival which can effortlessly drop in and take over regional venues dishing out lashings of fire and brimstone accordingly. We aim to bring Hell’s own fury to as many outposts of our God forsaken land as we possibly can, if you think your town needs a licking from the flames of Hell, let us know. Similarly if you fancy hosting your own Hellfire Club event, you know where to find us......just look down \m/”
