FROM STEELFEST OPEN AIR 2020 PROMOTERS:
Finnish goverment just align that all events over 500 capacity should be canceled due virus situation until end of May 2020.
This is news what we received 30 minutes ago. We will keep you more informed as we get detailed info how to proceed with “everything”. So hold on with questions. All will be answered on time as we get more info.
This is not cancellation, we are forced to re-schedule Steelfest 2020. All tickets remain valid for Steelfest 2021. Steelfest 2020 dates will be moved to May 14-15 2021.

So, now we need your support and trust.
I hope that past decade and our work with festivals and events, we have showed to you our dedication and no compromise spirit and earned your trust.
Its critical for our events to come that you hold on your ticket(s) and use those for Steelfest 2021.
For us this means huge financial loss. Big part of this year festival expenses are already fulfilled.
Costs like flights of the bands, marketing , salaries of staff etc. etc. all this we cannot get back anywhere.
As you can imagine we do not have big capital or etc. companies behind us as many mainstream festivals have, so basicly this means that all losses mentioned above are covered from our own wallet.
So, once again, this is the time, now we need your support and trust. That’s all we got.
HAIL THE HORNED ONE!

Thank you all for the supportive words and acts.
Last 48hrs has been quite disturbing . Calculating, estimating how much this situation will cost us in the end, there is many different factors but in this point we see magnitude of it.
Many of you have asked do we have plans to put up a crowdfunding or is there other possibilities to support us financially, as you all know we do not have big companies/money or etc. behind us.
How we survive and do we survive? Is what we, you, we all think.

Also many known bands round the world contacted us and offered to help
by perform free if there is any support events to come or etc. This is
highly appreciated on this challenging situation.
So, you have offered concrete support on this situation. Thank you.
Seems that we all (bands, audience, labels, all wolves round the world) have same goal.
To be sure that uncompromising extreme metal has its nest in future also.
From the start of this virus catastrophe we decided to survive if/when having your trust and support. From the feedback we can see that we have earned some. Like said couple days ago your support and trust is all we got.
It will take years financially to get back on our feet but we will survive.
We do not have even a dream to cover our massive losses with some magic tricks or etc.
But as many have asked do we have plans to put up a crowdfunding or is there any other possibilites to support us financially. Crowdfunding is something we do not feel comfortable with.
So we gathered “STEELFEST SUPPORT HORDES”-pack (button & sticker) to give you something on the return.
Join “STEELFEST SUPPORT HORDES”, every member helps us back on our feet. This pack we will deliver worldwide. Orders through our website.
Hail the Horned one!
