In this most difficult period for us in terms of festival preparation, we are getting calls from bands that somehow it won't work out, or certain member of their band booked a gig with another band (yes, we are dealing with this absurd thing here too!!!) or that their booking agency didn't book enough gigs for them to make it worthwhile to come to Europe… It's always the same, we are very sorry to receive such an email from every band… We are in contact with all bands or their managers throughout the covid period and of course afterwards and there has never been a single problem. The most frustrating part is that it comes very close to the festival and even though we would normally be able to get adequate replacements, it is very difficult at this crazy time because most of the members of other bands that would love to come and play a great show have other plans, are on vacation, or are at work. Anyway we are not giving up and we are working to make this year's OEF as great as possible and we will sweat the last drop of blood to make it happen.

Here is the list of bands that have cancelled this year's Obscene Extreme festival for various reasons and it is very difficult to get any kind of statement from them about what is actually going on… Of course we will try to invite these bands to one of the next years...

TERVEET KADET, VARUKERS, INTERNAL BLEEDING, ORIGIN, D.I.S., LIFELESS

For some bands we have already announced replacements - for example MOB 47 for TERVEET KADET, for some we will announce replacements soon. Keep an eye on the websites to stay up to date!

And see you next month on the battlefield!
