FROM RAGE: 

 

Rageheads,

Peavy came through his back surgery and is recovering well. Recovery takes time - and he’ll need several weeks to heal fully and make sure everything stays on the right track.Because of that, we’ve decided to cancel the following shows early, giving the promoters enough time to fill our slots and giving all of you a proper heads-up.

Peavy won’t be able to join Uli Jon Roth’s set at W:O:A, Lucky will still be there to play some drums, though. We also have to step back from Malpaga Sounds Festival, Rockové Hranice, Rock am Turm and Sons Of Rock Metal Fest.

We know how much work, passion and heart goes into organizing these festivals, and we’d love for you to still be there. If you’ve got a ticket or were planning to go, please still show up and support the festivals, the promoters and the other bands. Every ticket and every person in the crowd makes a real difference.

For now, our focus is on Peavy’s recovery. Things are looking good, and we can’t wait to be back on stage with you. We’ll keep you posted every step of the way.

Stay healthy and see you soon!

 

 

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-  

COSMIC VOID FESTIVAL: POSTPONED UNTIL 2027

 

 

 

 

 Due to unforeseen circumstances,  COSMIC VOID FESTIVAL: has been POSTPONED until 2027. 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM COSMIC VOID FESTIVAL PROMOTERS: 

 

After careful evaluation and despite every effort made to move forward as planned, we have taken the difficult decision to postpone Cosmic Void Festival to 3–5 September 2027.

This decision has not been taken lightly. Since announcing the festival, we have invested significant time, effort and resources into delivering the strongest edition possible, working tirelessly to secure an ambitious line-up featuring internationally renowned artists while maintaining the production standards and overall experience that have always been at the heart of Cosmic Void.

Unfortunately, due to a combination of unforeseen circumstances outside our reasonable control and the exceptionally challenging conditions currently affecting us, it has become clear that proceeding in 2026 would not allow us to deliver the event to the standard that our audience, artists and partners rightly expect.

The independent festival sector continues to face unprecedented pressures, including substantial increases in international travel costs, artist touring expenses, venue and infrastructure costs, production, logistics and wider economic uncertainty affecting the live music industry worldwide. These are challenges that we have regularly managed to overcome by pulling off some very special line ups and bookings, and we believed we would once again deliver a special event for all of you.

However, rather than compromising on the quality, safety or overall experience of the event, we feel postponement is the most responsible course of action.

The new dates for Cosmic Void Festival are 3–5 September 2027, in Camden (London, United Kingdom), at the same venues.

A number of the artists already announced have been reconfirmed for the rescheduled dates, and we will continue to strengthen the programme with more bands. We remain committed to delivering a line-up and festival experience worthy of the trust that so many of you have placed in us.

Tickets

All tickets purchased for the 2026 edition will automatically remain valid for the rescheduled festival on 3–5 September 2027. No action is required from ticket holders.

We fully appreciate that this news may be disappointing, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this postponement may cause.

If you are able to do so, we genuinely hope you will choose to keep your ticket. Independent festivals exist because of their communities, and your continued support during challenging moments like this is invaluable. We sincerely hope our community will continue to stand with us as we work towards making the 2027 edition a memorable Cosmic Void once again.

Should you require any assistance regarding your tickets or have any questions, please contact us at info@cosmicvoidfestival.com, and our team will respond as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding, your patience and, above all, your continued belief in Cosmic Void.

We look forward to welcoming you on 3–5 September 2027.

 

 

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-

For three decades, Aggressor, Apollyon and Blasphemer have been ruling the scene with their evil Black/Thrash Metal from the bowels of Norway. We had tried to get them on the festival before, but the right moment never seemed to come... until this year! The last appearance of the band in Montreal dates back to nearly ten years, in 2017, but we can finally confirm their return and their presence at Messe des Morts!

For three decades, Aggressor, Apollyon and Blasphemer have been churning out their own breed of evil Black/Thrash Metal straight out of the bowels of Norway. We had tried before to get them on the festival, but the timing never seemed to be right, until this year! The band was last seen in Montréal nearly ten years ago, back in 2017, but at last we can confirm they will be back and will perform at Messe des Morts
