The organizers of the No Compromise Metal Festival in Belgium have issued this update about the uncertainty of the fest’s future:
“Many of you know about the extra costs we had to bear concerning the last edition of No Compromise Metal Fest. We now find ourselves at level zero for the festival because with the costs we had, since the first one, we never had income, be it when we used to do the fest to the previous place and for the fourth edition this last October 2016.
“We have put all of our money into this fest, offered a ridiculous entrance’s price each time and even did two events totally free entrance, owners always got all profit of the drink… and now the fest will even be more costly because we would have more people to pay for security etc… Now, we have a date set, already have few amazing bands for a future line up, but money is missing.
“Because many people asked us to try to save the fest, and of course we are not, ourselves, about to give up, we have been told we should try to find sponsors/personal donations. We both feel annoyed but we have found out this is maybe a solution in order to be back this year in 2017.
“For this purpose, if you have a record label, a bar/club, distribution, a company of any kind, please get in touch with us for more info about what we can propose in return. For personal donation, your names will appear on a public list (if you agree with it), according the amount of the donation, special gift will be given too.
“At last, if you have suggestions, don’t hesitate to contact us. For sponsoring/personal donation, get it touch only through perseverance[at[scarlet.be. Thanks for your support.
“Both Christine and me, would like to wish you all the best for 2017, in hope this year will bring you only positive things in your life. We would also like to express our gratitude and thanks to the very few persons who have kept their promises in helping us with their donation in order to try to save the fest. We will never forget it.
“As said before, we still wait til end of this month, then we will decide about the future of the fest, but just know that if it is not working good, all persons will be refunded… So our next publication will be posted beginning of February, with good or bad news. Still thanks a damn lot.”
