Hellfest is just months away and as you may have heard, the fest will not be taking place in Syracuse, NY, as in years past. This year, the event will take place at the Rexplex in Elizabeth, NJ on July 23rd, 24th, and 25th. The new location was chosen for its convenient location, directly in the heart of the tri-state area, in addition to its proximity to Newark International Airport. Additionally, the new facility has a larger capacity, air-conditioning throughout, soccor fields, basketball courts, and other amenities. It's also safe to say that event coordinators were growing increasingly frustrated with the bureaucratic hassles of hosting the event in Syracuse.
Location aside, Hellfest 2004 will consist of three stages, over 100 bands, a skate contest (the facility has two indoor skateparks), a tattoo convention, and more. And once again, the fest will be documented by Highroller Studios for a DVD release.
Event organizers are currently accepting submissions from bands interested in performing at the fest. Send an email to bands@hellfest.com for more information.
