Hevy would like to say a huge thank you. Without your incredible support, and the extraordinary efforts of all our staff, contractors, suppliers and sponsors, this festival would not exist. Although we are a tiny independent company, it takes the hard work of hundreds of people to make this festival possible. We are massively indebted to you all. Thank you.

We'll be back next year with a leaner, meaner Hevy Festival - building on this year's strengths and learning from the oversights. Until then - support the bands, enjoy the music and savour the rest of your summer!

- James & Claire.

Just Two Weeks To Go!! Hevy Music Festival is coming! Returning for its 3rd year, Hevy is already shaping up to be one of THE music festivals of the Summer. In our final announcements before the big weekend we tell you all about the final acts on the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage, a very awesome party, 2 more additions to the bill, amazing clothing brands on site, a trip to the animal park and the final stage line ups! Phew!

Returning to Hevy festival this year is the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage, the best place to see up and coming bands from across the UK. After performing at some this summer’s top festivals including Download and Sonisphere, the eight finalists from the Red Bull Bedroom Jam online platform will be landing at the festival to end all festivals and for the first time this year will be joined by some of their favourite entrants from 2011.

The eight bands chosen by this year's successful Red Bull Bedroom Jam bands are: metal acts If Heroes Should Fail, Mishkin and Collapse The Control, pop-rockers The Headstart, The Debut, Show It Off and The Afterparty, as well as post hardcore band Our People Verses Yours. All of them making their festival debut at this year's Hevy.

Also, to kick off this year's festival, Red Bull Bedroom Jam will be hosting a pre party on site on Friday 5th August. The line up will feature a choice selection of Red Bull Bedroom Jam alumni including Don Broco, You And What Army and Never Means Maybe. The night will be topped off with a DJ set from Radio One Rock Show presenter and metal connoisseur, Daniel P Carter!

We also have two more additions to the Front x Etnies Stage on Friday. Max Raptor will open the stage and Tek One will get your Friday night party started after Lower Than Atlantis tear Kent a new one... Chuck in after-hours DJs every night, a load of FRONT girls and plenty of booze, and you’ve got the makings of not only a blinding hangover but a brilliant weekend!
