HEAVY AGGER – Danish cult festival welcomes the world

14th April 2016 Thomas Nielsen News 0

During the 80s, a documentary on Denmark’s national television told the story about a small fishing community, Agger, on the Danish west coast, where a group of young folk lived and breathed for heavy metal. They were different, they were rebels who dared to be different in a community where deep Christian faith was the order, and they made a lasting impression on a lot of people around the country.

More than 30 years later, this group of heavy metal devotees are still just that: adamant fans of hard music. Over the years, some of them have not only played metal music themselves, they have also arranged concerts and the small Heavy Agger festival. This year, the festival at the rim of the world takes place on the 6th and 7th of May.

The programme for the two days looks like this:

Friday:
19:00 Crocell
20:45 Turbo Charged
22:30 Illdisposed

Saturday:
12 – 14 “Happy Awwer” Heavy Agger beers at 10 Danish crowns
14:00 The Amandas
15.30 Defecto
17:00 Ronnie Rippers Private War
18:30 Killing Ghandi
20:00 Helhorse
21:30 Witch Cross
23:00 Bombers

Agger is located at the edge of the known world, but for daring souls without a car there’s a special bus service from Copenhagen and Fredericia with seats still available. Read more here: https://www.facebook.com/events/929781607107626/

When my old buddy Kenn Jensen asked me if I wanted to contribute to the new site he had created, then called powermetal.dk, I didn't hesitate. My love for metal music was and is great. I wrote my first review during the summer of 2004 (Moonspell's 'Antidote' album). In 2015, I took over the editor-in-chief role.
