One of my favourite bands to interview at Les Fest this year I spoke to Steven ‘Whitty’ Whittington (vocals), James ‘Mez’ Merrix (drums) and Alex Thomson (bass) from Captain Horizon. If you loved their sets at Les Fest, or didn’t manage to catch them check out their website for upcoming …

Opening up Les Fest 3 on the first day were Disposable from Edinburgh.  Being first on may seem a little daunting but they played an absolute blinder of a set.  Their debut album is currently being put together so watch out for it.  In the meantime, check out their video …

Defy All Reason opened up the main stage at 11am on the Sunday and without a doubt delivered a cracking set; just the perfect choice to get everyone into the party mood even at that time of the morning. A short while after their set I caught up with Gavin …

The King Lot may have only been a band for less than one year and only started playing gigs since the start of 2014, but things are going from strength to strength.  Being the second band on the main stage on the Sunday, they managed to keep the crowd’s energy up despite …

To start, I have to say that I love the sense of community that exists among metal fans.  I’ve been to a huge number of concerts and festivals, and at the metal or rock ones there’s virtually no trouble – no drunken fights, no aggro, and no people dying from …

It appeared that someone from on high looked down with a smile on the second day of Hellfest – because the beginning of the third and final day was cloud cover and a drop in the temperature, with even a small amount of rainfall during the morning as well. It quickly transpired …

>The morning after the night before, and there were some very hungover faces walking through the campsite and the odd couple who looked like they hadn’t gone to bed yet. They probably hadn’t either. Still, Day 2 of Hellfest was upon us, the sun was shining again and there were …

With an estimated 138,000 people passing through the gates this year across the weekend, it’s clear that Hellfest is bigger than ever. Planetmosh took a trip across the pond to get a taste of the ‘ooh-la-laAAARGH’ at France’s biggest rock festival… With six stages operating a ‘three on, three off’ …

Final day of Hellfest :( which we have been affectionately calling ‘Dustfest’ this year due to the amount of dust that is being churned up from the parched earth. It’s even hotter today but is overcast on the way into the festival and we do get a 4 minute long shower …

I arrived slightly late today as our coach had a oil problem then we hit a few traffic jams as we headed back to the festival so I went straight in to my first interview with the lovely Julien from Mars Red Sky. Click here to hear the interview. I …
