According to several reliable sources, it appears that this year's Hellfest may not take place, or may be drastically altered. Reportedly, organizers have run into some major financial issues, likely rendering much of show's requirements impossible to fulfill. No word has come down from the Hellfest people, but we advise that you get some definitive information before traveling to the event.

Update: - Hellfest has indeed been cancelled. It seems that organizers are having a dispute with the venue, which will likely be settled in court. The following statement has been issued:

"Due to circumstances beyond our control, Hellfest has been cancelled. After a full day in court in Burlington County, NJ, Hellfest was unable to meet unreasonable demands brought to Hellfest's attention by the Sovereign Bank Arena on August 16, 2005 at 6:21 PM, and to be met by August 17, 2005 at 7:00 AM. Actions were taken and Hellfest had an injunction filed by noon on August 17, 2005, but was overruled by the judge.

We send our deepest apologies out to the fans and everyone who was involved with the event and want you to be aware that legal action is being taken. For ticket refunds please contact the Sovereign Bank Arena box office."
