Black Flag Reunites For U.K.'s Hevy Fest
Black Flag have reformed and will play this years Hevy Fest, it has been confirmed. The
punk icons will be fronted by Ron Reyes - and not Henry Rollins - for
their first UK show in almost 30 years and the only live date the band
will play in 2013. A post on the official website for Hevy Fest
states: "Celebrating our fifth year this summer, we have been working
on some very special appearances for 2013 to mark the occasion." The band will perform with the Black Flag line-up of 1979 when Ron Reyes
joined Greg Ginn in the band as a replacement for Keith Morris, who
went on to form The Circle Jerks. Reyes quit just one year later and was
replaced by fan Dez Cadenza. Rollins joined the band in 1981, leaving
in 1986 where he has continued to release music as well as becoming an
actor and touring his spoken word show. Hevy Fest 2013 takes place from August 2-4 at the Port Lympne Wild
Animal Park in Kent. Organisers promise a further 80 bands will be
announced in the coming months. Descendents, Converge, Rolo Tomassi and Cancer Bats were amongst the bands to play Hevy Fest in 2012. (NME)
