Hello friends,
After the surprising and very sad death of Steve Grimmett, we took some time to think about how to handle the situation. In addition, we wanted to leave Steve's family alone. After a few days we first contacted the band and then the family and everyone said Steve would be most pleased for us to do a tribute show for him at KIT RISING 2 keeping his music alive hold a . That's why we'll also call the show "A Celebration of the Life of a Metal Legend". We want to make this all as delicate as possible and have thought a lot about it. The band will consist of Steve Grimmett's current Grim Reaper Band and we will have guests who have beenfriended Steve at one or saw him as inspiration for their own creation. Up ahead Steve's son Russ will be singing a few songs and also the original Grim Reaper guitarist and band founder Nick Bowcott will be flying in extra from the US for the show. We also won Harry Conklin from Jag Panzer for the show. We are still working on more guest musicians, but this is the base.
Further, we want to keep the legend of Steve alive and we have decided to distribute 2000 Old School Buttons with Steve as a motif at the entrance to all visitors for free. This is how a part of Steve lives on on many coats and jackets in the scene.
Also there will be a memorial shirt from Steve at the festival merch all proceeds will go to Steve's family.
We hope this is all in your interest.
But we have more news:
Unfortunately MIRAGE had to cancel their show at KIT RISING 2 as singer Torben has sadly lost his voice and is no longer able to play gigs. We're very sad about this because we were really looking forward to the show.
As a replacement, we were able to book the Danish compatriots of WITCH CROSS.
Further, SAVAGE also had to cancel their show, as a band member had suffered a heart attack a long time ago, but the healing has not progressed as well as planned. We will make up for the gig in the future.
As a replacement we could book Newcastle NWOBHM heroes AVENGER with an old school show.

Hello Friends,
After the sad passing of Steve Grimmett, we took some time to think about how we want to deal with the situation. We also wanted to give Steve's family some space for now. After a few days we got in touch first with the band and then with the family and everyone said that Steve would be happiest if we did a tribute show for him at KIT RISING 2 and that would keep his music alive. That's why we're going to call the show "A Celebration of the Life of a Metal Legend." We want to do everything as sensitively as possible and have thought about a few things. The band will consist of the current Steve Grimmett's Grim Reaper Band and we will have guests who were friends with Steve or saw him as an inspiration for their own work. First and foremost, Steve's son Russ will be singing some songs, and original Grim Reaper guitarist and band founder Nick Bowcott will be flying in from the US especially for the show. We were also able to win Harry Conklin from Jag Panzer for the show. We're still working on more guest musicians, but that's the basis.
Furthermore, we want to let the legend of Steve live on and have decided to give away 2000 old school buttons with Steve on it at the entrance to all visitors free of charge. A part of Steve will live on in the scene on many battlevests and jackets then.
There will also be a Steve memorabilia shirt at the festival merch, with all proceeds going to Steve's family.
We hope this is all in your interest.
But we have more news:
Unfortunately, MIRAGE had to cancel their show at KIT RISING 2 because singer Torben unfortunately lost his voice and can't play any more gigs. We are very sad about this because we were really looking forward to the show.
We were able to book the Danish legends WITCH CROSS as replacements.
Furthermore, SAVAGE also had to cancel their show because a band member suffered a heart attack some time ago, but the healing is not progressing as well as planned. We will try to get them back to KIT in the future.
As a replacement we were able to book the Newcastle NWOBHM heroes AVENGER with an old school show.
