Hammerfest (festival)

Hammerfest was a music festival held annually in North Wales. In 2013, Hammerfest moved to the Haven site in Pwllheli, Hafan y Môr Holiday Park as the festival outgrew its original site at Pontin's Holiday Village, Prestatyn, Wales. It is not related to a music festival of the same name hosted by white supremacist groups. The festival is was owned by emc3i Ltd, sponsored by the music magazine Metal Hammer and ran by the organizers of the Hard Rock Hell festival. Because the festival was held at a holiday camp, the organizers made pre-built venues and stages, and attendees stayed in the on-site accommodation. This enabled the festival to be held during the winter/spring months when outdoor camping is not desirable.
