A DIY celebration of all things slow and heavy

Danish doom/sludge/stoner festival in Copenhagen, Denmark, May 2nd-5th 2013

 

Days In Doomtown is back at it again! Last years festival was very successful with over 30 bands representing a wide spectrum of musical genres such as doom, sludge, stoner rock, psych, heavy rock and more. We have now begun the process of organizing the much anticipated second edition of Heavy Days In Doomtown happening on May 2nd-5th 2013.

 

Next years festival will follow much of the framework as last years however hopefully bigger and better.

The festival is going to last 4 days at 2 different venues in Copenhagen:
-A warmup show (location will be announce later on).
-3 days of music, art, events and madness at the DIY volunteer/activist driven social centre Ungdomshuset, Dortheavej 61

 

The festival is organized DIY which means that neither the organizers, the bands or the people who work at the fest are making any profit, and our main purpose besides having an amazing fest full of heavy music, is to promote DIY principles to the genres who don't usually organize this way. We have done this by showing that things can be done professionally and with passion for both good sound, good treatment for bands and artists, good music, along with keeping it DIY and anti-commercial.

 

Besides music, we're inviting a bunch of great artists again to come and make installations, visuals and more before and during the festival to make the experience of the fest visual as well as musical. We believe that this aspect of the fest really added to the special atmosphere, we have received much praise for it and hope to top it next year. We would like to attract well known artists as well as promote lesser known up and coming artists.

The festival is organized by the cultural Association "Undergrundsmusikens Fremme" (translated: Undergroundmusic promotion) based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The association has for the past three years been organizing the successful DIY Death Metal Festival "Kill-Town Death Fest" (www.killtowndeathfest.dk) as well as the first edition of Heavy Days in Doomtown in May of 2012.

 

We have now started the process of choosing and booking bands and artists and putting together the details for the fest, so this is a HEADS UP of what's coming, and to let you know that things are getting heavy again in Copenhagen May 2013.
