666 Metal Day Out Metal Festival
6th June 2006
Update 18/5/06: Please note that the venue for the Metal Day Out has been changed to the Supertop at Ericsson Stadium. The show runs from 10.30am-11pm. Gates open 10am.
The Beast Entertainment has been formed to add more metal events to metal fans' lives, and to kick it all off they're holding a monster metal festival on Tuesday June 6 2006 (6/6/06!) at the Supertop, Ericsson Stadium.
18 bands will be playing, one after the other - you can see them all and not have to move more than a few metres to see them all, as the show swaps from one stage to the other (twin stages) - almost 12 hours of non-stop music.
Bands from Denmark, United Kingdom, USA and Australia will be rocking out with some of New Zealand's finest. Bands include Illdisposed (Denmark), Flatline (USA), Rise to Addiction (UK), Area 51 (USA), Frankenbok (Australia), Rook (Australia), and local heroes include Chuganaut, Sinate, World War Four, Agent, Damned Age, Subtract, Slipping Tongue, Sticky Filth, Remains of a Day and Redline.
And if that's not enough, there will be a tattoo show, adult amusements and a wet T-shirt competition (to be judged by some of the band members) - and it's all legal.
Ticket holders at the show will go into a draw to win a mini-chopper motorbike.
There's also a liquor licence on site. Most centres will have coach links arranged. Food, soft drinks and merchandise will be available. Plenty of parking and top security has also been laid on.
