  On a mission to get HEAVY music properly represented at major festivals. Started Earache stages at Glastonbury, Boomtown Fair, Camp Bestival with more to follow. Convinced Glastonbury Festival to build a brand new stage for Earache (the only stage at the festival dedicated to heavy music) which we have hosted/curated/ran since 2017. Some of the artists we have booked for Glastonbury so far include: Napalm Death, IDLES, Denzel Curry, Gojira, Dead Kennedys, Ho99o9, The Damned, Scarlxrd, Hacktivist, Petrol Girls, Extreme Noise Terror, Wormrot, Steve Ignorant.Because our 1st year at Glastonbury was so successful other major festivals in the UK wanted a piece of the action. We now have a stage at Boomtown Fair called The Earache Factory which we have ran for the past 2 years and also appeared at Camp Bestival in 2019 with an 'Earache Takeover'. Looking to branch out and bring our stage to more festivals around the world. 2020 will be our biggest summer yet. #ExtremeTimesDemandExtremeMusic Show less
