HELLFEST Officially Cancelled At Trenton's Sovereign Bank Arena

August 17, 2005

Hellfest 2005, a three-day festival of hardcore heavy metal and punk bands set for Aug. 19-21 at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, New Jersey, has been cancelled. A posting at Hellfest.com reads as follows:

"Due to circumstances beyond our control, Hellfest has been cancelled. After a full day in court in Burlington County, NJ, Hellfest was unable to meet unreasonable demands brought to Hellfest's attention by the Sovereign Bank Arena on August 16, 2005 at 6:21 p.m., and to be met by August 17, 2005 at 7:00 a.m. Actions were taken and Hellfest had an injunction filed by noon on August 17, 2005, but was overruled by the judge.

"We send our deepest apologies out to the fans and everyone who was involved with the event and want you to be aware that legal action is being taken. For ticket refunds please contact the Sovereign Bank Arena box office."
