Resistanz Festival

Resistanz is the brainchild of Corporation’s Phyll Pearman and Leighton James-Thompson. The first Resistanz Festival took place in Sheffield UK at the infamous Corporation venue (Corporation is one of the top 3 live band venue and alternative music nightclubs in the UK) over the weekend of April 2nd/3rd 2011. A year in planning the objective was simple, establish a line up of bands and dj’s every bit as strong as some of the more established festivals throughout the world, and covering the many subgenres in the modern day industrial scene.
 
The outcome was 14 bands from synthpop legends (And One – Covenant ) to pounding industrial acts (Suicide Commando – SAM), UK and European exclusives, an official festival cd and merch, stalls and 5 big afterparties with 15 dj’s playing everything from modern day industrial club hits, classic EBM, synthpop and electro to hardhouse and hardstyle. On top of all this there where some very special guests and surprises including Phill Barry of Cubanate on stage with Caustic performing Oxcyacetaline, Stewart Who on stage with XP8 covering the hard dance classic Twisted, Deviant UK joined onstage by new friends Uberbyte for a storming rendition of Scooter’s Always Hardcore, Adam of Lab4 fame coming out of retirement for a special dj set, the epic dj 3 way featuring Dj Hive (Vampire Party) Dj Tommi K (Autobody) and Thomas Rainer (Nachtmahr), plus the many many onstage collaborations.
 
Described by many as the best weekend of their lives, Resistanz Festival clearly left its mark on the industrial scene in 2011.
