We’ve had a disappointing setback for the Age of Decay festival. Back in October, we reserved April 21 as the big day (and night) with Brewster’s Pit, only to have them tell us a few days ago that they had double booked the night and would not be honouring our agreement. With so many people’s travel schedules planned, flights and hotels booked, helpful funds donated, t-shirts purchased, and all manner of arrangements by everyone involved – both those putting the festival on and those attending – we were devastated at first. Our team made many hours’ worth of phone calls, but this close to the date other venues are already booked for April 21. We are working now to secure a Fall date for you with a different, and trustworthy, venue.
We’ve been angry, we’ve been sad, but more than anything, we’ve been determined! The 8 bands on the bill – Ex-Voto, Lestat, Strap On Halo, Ending the Vicious Cycle, Entertainment, Sapphire Rebellion, Asylum XIII, and The Drowning Season - are the most supportive people in the world and their encouragement, along with the encouragement of vendors like Horror Artist Jerrod Brown and Azrael’s Accomplice, donors, sponsors, fans, and Age of Decay staff just proves that You Can’t Keep a Good Goth Down.
We will keep you updated as new solutions are found and we look forward to seeing you – darker and more wonderful – in a few months!
