Hole in the Sky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hole in the Sky is a metal festival located in Bergen, Norway. It is held in the end of August each year. It was held for the first time in 1999, in honor of the then recently deceased Erik "Grim" Brødreskift - ex-member of Immortal. A fund in his name, the Erik Brødreskifts minnefond, was established at the same time, and the profit of ticket sales, goes into this fund. The purpose of the fund is to promote activities related to metal music in the Bergen area. Money from this fund will be dealt out for the first time in 2006.
The festival has had headliners like Immortal, Obituary, Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Opeth, Anathema, Danzig, Samael, Satyricon and Taake.
Celtic Frost, Morbid Angel and Destruction are among the headliners for Hole in the Sky VII (2006).
The festival was named after a famous Black Sabbath song, which appears on their Sabotage album.
