"The Good...
Well we’ve had our few days to recover, so we’d just like to say a massive thankyou to all of you who travelled from all over the world to join us at our birthday bash. We had a fantastic time and we hope you did too, and we’re very grateful for your help in making Boltfest such a huge success and of course in raising a lot of money for Teenage Cancer Trust. We’re still waiting on the total amount raised, but as soon as we know we’ll announce it here.
As always, cheers to all the BT crew (and those who got roped in) for all your help, and a special thanks to Jon Vyner of Tidal Concerts. And of course our comrades in arms, Vallenfyre, Benediction, Discharge and Autopsy who helped make the night an absolute blast - we couldn’t wish for better bands to celebrate with!!
The Bad...
We thought we’d catered for every eventuality on the night, but unfortunately we didn’t anticipate the health and safety issues we faced at The Forum in regards to the merch area, the amount of pickpockets or the sound issues. But most disappointing were the pro merch buyers, who just saw this charity event as an opportunity to make some money, (there were already shirts up on Ebay during the show)! These bulk buyers were mainly responsible for the long queues and some people missing out on buying a shirt...
To rectify this, we have decided to print up another batch of shirts and offer them for sale to those of you who didn’t get the chance to buy one on the night.
So, please hang on to your ticket stub or keep a copy of the PDF e-ticket as proof of attendance. And more details on how to buy a shirt will follow soon..
And The Ugly...

Cheers,
Karl, Jo, Gav, Baz & Kiddie"
