ArsonFest Celebrates Four Years
With over 15 of Manitobas best harcore acts, including internationally-acclaimed Malefaction, the fourth annual ArsonFest is poised to light some musical fires August 8 10. Started by local music veteran Mike Alexander, ArsonFest is a continuing celebration of loud, noisy and powerful music. Arsonfest is dedicated to bringing together people from all over North America for a long weekend of music and community. The festival is a testament to the popularity of the growing hardcore and heavy music scene.
Audiences can witness visceral tunes by local favourites Under Pressure, Dead Stock Crusher, Blasphenaut and He Broke as well as newer bands like Deathkill and Jasons Militia. Other acts from outside the Manitoba borders will also take the stage, including experimental hardcore artist and former Winnipegger Nagasaki Fondue.
In previous years, ArsonFests concerts were staged at various venues. This year, all concerts are all-ages and will take place at the Riverview Community Centre.
As if presenting some incredible music wasnt enough, ArsonFest also donates profits from ticket revenue to local charities. This year, the three-day festival will offer support to the Rainbow Centre, a resource for local gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and two-spirited youth.
Weekend passes for ArsonFest are $22 in advance at Into the Music, or nightly for $9 at the door. For more information, please visit arsonfest.n3.net/.
