We are still working on a replacement for KMFDM but having seen a number of suggestions on the official Infest Facebook page, the replacement will probably come from one of the following. There may well be a line up shuffle depending on which band we finally confirm… but who would you like to see?
- Funker Vogt
- Angelspit
- Lights of Euphoria
- Atari Teenage Riot
- XP8
- In Strict Confidence
- Sulphur
…there is also an outside chance of one of the following:
Also, from the recent poll we noticed…
“Stuart Whitehall – the true Billy Idol”
As someone has already pointed out, will be there anyway and therefore isn’t eligible for this final round of voting. William Shatner, Bob Hoskins and the other Billy Idol didn’t respond to enquiries regarding their availability on the Infest weekend
Most of the other band suggested aren’t available or are not practical for any of a number of reasons. So who is it going to be? Please get voting here:

Due to unforeseen changes in their schedule and travel issues with USA-based members of the band, KMFDM have been forced to cancel their appearance at Infest 2012.
This is a massive disappointment for both the band and ourselves here at Infest HQ, however you can be assured that we are working hard to add another great artist to the Infest 2012 billing.
More news to follow soon.
