FROM DAMNATION FEST 2014:
Everyone at Damnation is saddened to hear that Alt Fest has run into difficulties.
Putting on a festival is a huge undertaking; the sleepless nights, the brain-melting accounting, the mammoth task of keeping everybody happy... but it looks like the ambitious plans that Alt Fest had laid out just weren't feasible for one reason or another.
We understand the anger fans, traders and backers - who've been left in the dark, but hopefully not out of pocket- must feel right now.

The crowd funding initiative that kicked Alt Fest off was an encouraging success for live music in the UK. Hopefully among all of you disheartened by this turn of events there are plenty who still believe in supporting live music with a passion.

With us looking forward to one of our most successful years, and in an effort to play our small part in maintaining a trust to accompany that passion, we will answer any questions regarding the running of Damnation Festival - past, present and future.
Now's your chance to probe us*, and without betraying official secrets or divulging people's home addresses, we'll do our best to be as transparent about the running of a festival as humanly possible.
-Gavin, Paul & Becky.
*If your question is "can my band play Damnation?", then the chances are the answer is unfortunately "not this time".
