Following the sold out inaugural Hammerfest in April 2009, Hard Rock Hell and Metal Hammer are proud to announce Hammerfest II.

The original Hammerfest brought together some of the biggest names in metal for a truly memorable weekend at Pontins, Prestatyn Sands, North Wales. Headliners Opeth, Sepultura and Saxon were joined by the likes of Hammerfall, Paradise Lost, Skindred, Cathedral, Architects and many more…

Hammerfest II is set to carry the mantle. Already confirmed are Iced Earth (a UK exclusive), Devildriver (a Spring exclusive), Skindred (back by popular demand!), Attica Rage and Panic Cell….with many more acts to be confirmed. In addition to the usual Friday and Saturday night lineup, Hammerfest II will also feature an extra night’s entertainment on Thursday 11th March. This comes included in VIP packages or can be purchased separately with Gold or Silver packages.

Hammerfest II is put together by Hard Rock Hell (the people behind the hugely successful Hard Rock Hell in 2007, Hard Rock Hell II in 2008 and forthcoming Hard Rock Hell III in December 2009) and the legendary Metal Hammer magazine.

Hammerfest II will be an event not to be missed. The festival will include a bumper line up of established metal and rock acts – with celebrated veterans rubbing shoulders with the metal scenesters of today  - alongside the future of metal’s upcoming talent, as championed by Metal Hammer.  For further information please visit www.hammerfest.co.uk or www.metalhammer.co.uk
