WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED.

South Africa is no stranger to intimidation and segregation. 20 years after the release of Former President Nelson Mandela, our freedom of expression is still being compromised.

Our metal music scene is under threat.

Witchdoctor Productions had a dream to bring a Metal Festival to our country. An opportunity to grow the already thriving scene. Create jobs. Give our own metal bands a much needed platform, and share our beautiful country and love for music with some of the world’s biggest names in metal. From various groups. We have been bullied. Terrorized. Attacked. Our shows have been cancelled. Our venues closed down.

This year, our venue was shut down three times. Which has had a massive impact on us financially, as we have no sponsors willing to associate their brand with metal. And while we refuse to be intimidated, and have fought with every strength to continue with this project, we really need help to ensure that we can make WItchfest Festival an annual event within the budget of the fans.
One that can celebrate the same success as Wacken Open Air in Germany.

We are looking to raise around $100 000 to recover the money that was lost due to all the venue moves, deposits, advertising, re branding.This way we can fund Witchfest 2016 without passing costs onto fans.

Our goal is to make it a bigger and better experience than the last. Any money raised over and above the amount needed will go towards reducing the ticket prices for 2016, legal fee's and getting the festival into other African countries.

Witchdoctor Productions have a proven track record when it comes to breaking new ground in the South African metal scene, having been the company responsible for bringing over bands like Sepultura, Behemoth, Ministry, Soulfly,Entombed and Kataklysm.

The aim is to take Witchfest into other African countries like Botswana, Angola and Mozambique. Helping to spread the music and the message to fans that previously had no way of being able to see the best that the metal world has to offer. By contributing to the campaign you’ll be a big part of this, helping to unite 1st and 3rd world metals fans.

If you can’t contribute to the campaign financially, that’s okay. You can help us get the message out there by using the Indiegogo share tools.
