Black Dragon Promotions was founded in 2009 by Rich Savage (of Bradford metal band Gods of Hellfire) with the intention of putting on a small number of high-quality gigs and alldayers a year.
If you’re in a band and would like to be considered to play at a future gig, contact us.
Black Dragon Promotions will be staging Dragonfest 2 all dayer at Bradford Rio’s on 30th April. Full details…
Black Dragon Promotions next event will be Charger + Supports at the Zuu Bar, Nov 20th.
Stay tuned for some exciting news regarding Dragonfest II soon…
Bradford Rio’s will charge a reduced entrance fee to Dragonfest attendees wanting to continue partying after the gig…
Turn up at Rio’s with a Dragonfest wristband and you can get in for just £2.
Rio’s is on Barry Street, less than a minute’s walk from the Zuu Bar.
Check out Bradford Rio’s website to see what will be on there.
Those great people over at Hellraiser Records in Leeds will have a stall at Dragonfest on Saturday.
They will have a selection of new releases plus some sale items – t-shirts from £5, longsleeve shirts from £8 and hooded sweaters From £12.
The stall will be open until around 6pm, so get in there before you’ve spent all your money at the bar on beer and cider!
With only a week to go until the big day we unfortunately have to announce a couple of changes to the lineup.
Both Slowtorch and Centurion’s Ghost have had to pull out from the gig. Slowtorch’s singer has had to leave the band for medical reasons and it seems Centurion’s Ghost’s singer left them at the beginning of their tour with St Vitus.
On the plus side, this means that The Prophecy are now headlinging the show, and we have been able to add Asomvel to the lineup in place of Italy’s Slowtorch.
Asomvel’s brand of full on, Motorhead inspired heavy metal will bring a welcome injection of speed and energy to the all out doom following them.
The full lineup and revised running order are as follows:
| Band | Start Time | End Time |
|---|---|---|
| The Prophecy | 21:40 | 22:30 |
| Lazarus Blackstar | 20:30 | 21:15 |
| Gods Of Hellfire | 19:25 | 20:05 |
| Asomvel | 18:30 | 19:00 |
| Sigiriya | 17:35 | 18:05 |
| The Aftermath | 16:40 | 17:10 |
| Lifer | 15:45 | 16:15 |
| Severed Heaven | 14:50 | 15:20 |
| Thirteenth Sign | 13:55 | 14:25 |
| Berserkowitz | 13:00 | 13:30 |
We are pleased to announce that Dragonfest tickets are now available from Hellraiser Records in Leeds.
