Rock Industry Magazine sponsor a music festival!
Rock Industry Magazine are proud to sponsor a music event, the first of its kind in Leeds that is set to make its debut in the city this summer!
We are so proud to be helping local and unknown talent, which is a philosophy at Rock Industry Magazine, and as a bonus as well we are proud to be helping a charity close to ours and our friends hearts. Martin House has helped a few of our friends and loved ones recently and it is an honour to be giving some help back!
MF2011 (Metal Fringe 2011), part of the Leeds Festival Fringe, will display talent from the Leeds area in the week leading up to Leeds Festival. Eighteen bands from across the city and beyond will join together in August to play three nights of alternative rock (Friday), metal (Saturday) and hard rock (Sunday), to raise money for Martin House Children’s Hospice.

Amongst the bands playing on the Friday night are the previously featured alternative rockers Down The Machine, who draw inspiration from Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden, whilst Saturday night’s headlining act are ‘revolutionary Leeds rock metal band’ Mishkin, who recently came third in the Red Bull Bedroom Jam out of 600 bands. Other bands playing over the weekend include KarmaSlave, who will close the festival on Sunday evening.
Metal Fringe Leeds 2011 is from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st August at brand new, city centre based, live music venue, Empire. Tickets, which cost £5 for a full weekend ticket, will be available from a number of Leeds music outlets as well as various online retailers from Monday 11 July.
