markbutlerftw Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 THIS IS HARDCORE 2009 AUGUST 14, 15, 16 PHILADELPHIA, PA Once again at the Starlight Ballroom/ Club Polaris 452-468 N. 9th Street (between Callowhill & Spring Garden Sts. ) Philadelphia, Pa 19123 This Is Hardcore Fest 2009 - Our 4th Year and we’re ready to showcase again what’s best and what’s brightest - the bands that we all know and love, the bands that have busted their balls to get their name up and the ones we should be spending some extra time getting to know. This year will feature more names from the years past than in the last 3 installments of TIH. As I’ve always worked for the working bands, it's important to get time to the bands who were an inspiration, a favorite and for a lot of us- Bands whose songs touched us in a way that, while they’re no longer playing or as active, they’ve made an impact or we’ve become endeared to them. While I will always push to keep the focus of the fest on those bands that are carrying hardcore in the present day, to deny a band as important in recent times as Floorpunch, or to the Suicide File who in their short time have made an impact would be wrong of us. Reach The Sky came at a time when so many bands were trying to be the next metalcore kings or toughguy champs, yet their songs resonate still inside of so many personal memories that having them on our Fest as a Last Show wasn't even a question for me. It Had to be done. We as a community need to remember the bands and their messages that came before today, as it was their work that brought us to this point and their influence that birthed today’s hardcore scene. This is not the final band list, and there are other activities before and during the weekend that we will make announced as we get closer to Fest.

We’ve never sold out a day so don’t stress and worry that it will sell out, just make plans to get your tickets in advance from our website or from the R5 productions site (listed below) Ticket prices have averaged about $50-$60 for the weekend, and without a full lineup I can’t have a final # but it will not be outside of our average. Again in about 4 weeks all this will be final and these answers will be provided. HOTELS I can tell you we’re working very hard to get accommodations at block rates, but if you are flying in and are worried about getting a place to stay, look at our myspace and website for local hotels. Or ask someone who’s gone before, maybe they can tell you where they stayed. Closer to the venue will cost more but may be more convenient. Across the Ben Franklin Bridge/ Tacony-Palmyra Bridge in NJ are priced a bit cheaper but there is a commute. Again check our sites in a few days as we’re working to update all that information to help you with your accommodations. TABLES/LABELS ETC Those labels we worked with in the past will be emailed in a few days and told of the table situation. Please RSVP in regards to the tables ASAP. For new people, we also have space but again it’s a first come, first come situation. Please contact us direct in regards to reserving table space for your Label/Merch company etc. We DO NOT cater to any political organization, so please don’t ask for table space for your propaganda. Again thank you all for being very patient in waiting for the announcement. In the months to follow, look to the myriad of websites we run for the most ACCURATE information. Don’t go on rumor and gossip alone in regards to who is playing or if its sold out. THANKS!!!! [email protected] contact me direct! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanukichu Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 might go to this. Got my fingers crossed for Paint It Black and Ruiner to get added to the roster. There's a slim chance I might be outta town for this though because I might be going to a wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
