MotherFUDD – The Gathering 2010 is nearly upon us.

MotherFUDD, South Africa’s renowned metal festival, is proud to announce that they will be hosting the first ever Official Guinness World Record for the “Most People Headbanging Simultaneously” at the seventh annual MotherFUDD – The Gathering 2010 on 13 March 2010.

Motherfudd is extremely proud to fly this exciting and unusual flag as it will not only spotlight the massive following metal music and has in this country but also that this epic event will take place on South African soil.

The bands under Mother’s care this year are: Agro, All Forlorn, Architecture of Aggression, Bile of Man, Chromium, Emperium, Erebus, Fragmented Children, Haggis & Bong, Instrametal, Juggernaught, Loathe, Mazaru, Nighthawk, Reverend Henry Kane, Red Helen, Riddare av Koden, Rhütz, Sacrifist, Sathern and Stigmata Dawn.

Tickets are R220 for the entire weekend and are available from www.webtickets.co.za. This includes weekend-long parking, camping, lots of drunken arm-in-arm metal camaraderie, the best South African metal bands and your name down in the history books!

For added mojo there are game drives, Bubble-ball, skating and bmxing, swimming, lots of food and flea stalls, a tuck shop and a huge, well-priced bar with DJs that will be satisfying FUDDers’ metal appetites well into the early hours.

On a serious note:

Because of the heightened media interest this year we had to put certain criteria in place and thus have RESTRICTED ENTRY to 1500 tickets only. NO GATE SALES and NO EXCEPTIONS. It’s best to avoid disappointment, a copious amount of egg on your face and your buddies’ endless ragging by buying your tickets through Webtickets early, as they will also close automatically as soon as the limit is reached.

MotherFUDD would not be possible without our like-minded partners in crime: Monster Energy Drink, Aqua Seltzer, Headbang Today, Revolution, Killer Truck Co, Locally Whipped Magazine, Midrand Stereo, Maganstarr Productions, EA Games, Star Gazers Extra Mural Centre, The Cameraman, Viking Records, Sound Decision, Synergy Productions, Music Connection and Schecter Guitar Research.

MotherFUDD – The Gathering is the brainchild of Yvonne Pennicott, long-time band manager and festival extraordinaire who inspired a gathering of the best musical talent in the country to bring about a 2-day camp-over festival showcasing the pick of the crop. 2010 sees MotherFUDD hosted from 12 – 14 March 2010 at the acclaimed Malonjeni Guest Resort just south of Johannesburg.
