Heavy Montreal is set to take a break next year.
From the press release:
“It’s not an easy decision to put one of our events on pause,” says Jacques Aubé, Chief Operating Officer of evenko. “Several factors must be taken into consideration, including the number of non-festival metal/rock concerts that will be announced over the next few months.”
HEAVY MONTRÉAL will continue to offer a packed calendar of concerts throughout the city and the province all year round.
“We thank the fans for standing behind us,” says Nick Farkas, Senior Vice-President, Concerts and Events at evenko. “We’re working hard to make sure we continue to offer the best metal/rock shows in the world! HEAVY MONTRÉAL fans should not be worried!”
This is not the first time Heavy Montreal has taken a break — the festival skipped an edition for 2017, hosting huge outdoor shows by Metallica and Guns N’ Roses that summer.
