Ieperfest 10-11-12 August 2012

Summertime means that lots of musical festivities take place. The hardest and also greenest among them all is definitely Ieperfest.


The DIY organisations Vort'n Vis (can literally be translated as 'dirty fish') and Genet Records put their hands together again to throw one of the biggest parties in the scene: Ieper Hardcore Fest: The Feast Edition.
To celebrate this 20th edition the following bands will burn down the place:
Reign Supreme, The Chariot, TRC, Shai Hulud, Death By Stereo, Unearth, Terror, This Is Hell, Skarhead, Homer, Knuckledust, Sydney Ducks (awesome name for a band), Trapped Under Ice, Cruel Hand, Whatever It Takes, Thruth And Its Burden, Vaccine, Toxic Holocaust, Deez Nuts, Death Of Anna Karina, Naysayer, Rise And Fall, Ignite,
Withdrawal, Aborted, Midnight Souls, For The Glory, Kylesa, Pianos Become The Teeth, The Black Dahlia Murder, Scraps, 7 Seconds, Crowbar, Take Offense, Sick Of It All and many many more.(*)

More Than Music

Ieperfest is about much more than just music and brings people closer to each other without sectarian activities being involved. As every year you can join debats, witness live interviews, discuss openly with bands, watch documentaries and presentations or catch up with/on vegan talk.
Last year Carl Schwarz was interviewed live by the Ieperfest organisation (Brutality Blog interviewed him as well) and spread his ideas about for example America's policy. People in the public were given the chance to ask Carl their own questions right before the end of the session.

Green, greener, greenest

In 2012, the organization focusses on green policy even more than they did with previous editions. Every idea to make it happen from you or your grandpa could turn out to be a success. Do not think you need an Einstein-mind for this: Even the most simple ideas where no one had thought of before can be helpful. Do not hestitate to : greenpolicy@ieperfest.com
