Resistanz History/About Us:

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 over the weekend of April 2nd/3rd 2011. A year in planning their 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.

Resistanz Festival 2012 took place on Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th April at the Corporation venue in Sheffield UK.
The second chapter of Resistanz was a completely sold out event!
Once again the finest acts from around the globe were gathered together for what promised to be one of the highlights in the industrial scenes festival calendar. It did not dissapoint
15 live acts: Icon Of Coil, Grendel, mind.in.a.box, Nachtmahr, Ultraviolence, Frozen Plasma, Soman, Straftanz, ESA, WASTE, Be My Enemy, Memmaker, FGFC820, Detroit Diesel and Surgyn l performed over the 2 days followed each night by after parties featuring some of the scenes very best DJ’s including: Geoff Lee (Modulate), Azrael (XP8/Faderhead), M4RC (Grendel/Shiv-R) to name but a few.
On top of all this a new food court and market area were added, special guest performances and on stage collaborations, the return of Resistanz TV, Resistanz souvenir photography studio area, free Resistanz welcome packs for all and a whole lot more going on over the weekend!
It was hell of a wild weekend and firmly established Resistanz as one of the events of the year…

The third Resistanz Festival took place on the 29th – 31st March 2013.
Once again the reputation of the festival bought about another sellout event!
With the addition of a Friday night warm up party, Resistanz boasted the biggest industrial festival line up the UK has ever seen with 19 bands, 15 DJs and 5 different afterparty rooms playing everything from industrial, electro house, synthpop, hardstlye and hard dance.
Resistanz continued to adhere to its core programming – The cream of international industrial and electro acts combined with the best of British. A line up where anyone of the participants could be found headlining their own UK shows. And a booking policy focussed on bringing in bands never seen in the UK before rather than just the "usual suspects".
2013′s line up: Neurotic Fish, Celldweller, Aesthetic Perfection, Uberbyte, Alien Vampires, C-Lekktor, Alter Der Ruine, Noisuf-x, iVardensphere, Funker Vogt, Surgyn, CygnosiC, Method Cell, Terrolokaust, Blakopz, Voster, Phosgore, Cease2xist, Chainreactor.

The 2014 edition of Resistanz saw another sell out event and also our biggest line up to date with 22 acts gracing the Corporation mainstage over the course of 3 days. Apoptgyma Berzerk, This Morn Omina, Cyberpunkers, Assemblage 23, Organ Donors and the return (and last ever) live show for Straftanz among many other acts made for yet again another truely unforgetable weekend in Sheffield.

At the time of writing both planning and preperation for the 2015 is well under way. Early bird tickets sold out in just 2 days (before a single act had even been announced) beating last years record by 12 days. In 2015 you can expect from us the sort of high calibre line up that Resistanz continues to deliver year after year. We’ll have plenty of UK firsts, European firsts, exclusive UK shows and a balanced mix of new and more established acts throughout the weekend. As usual you can keep up to date with all announcements here on our website and also on our facebook page.

Next year will be the 5th Resistanz Festival event, we thank you once again for your continued support and we hope to see many of you there.

Viva la Resistanz - International Industrial Music Festival!
