Dark Demo(n)s

'The most important thing in life is not victory but the battle, the essence is not to have won but to have fought well.'

Who?
YOU! If you have a band or musical project we will be happy to hear from you!
Both national as international bands are welcome. However, if you have to travel from abroad, keep in mind we can not reimburse travel costs and hotel costs as it would not be fair to local band. Artists who already played at BIMFEST are excluded from the Dark Demons nights for the next two years.

Why?
Every year again we receive A LOT of e-mails, messages and personal questions from people and bands asking us if they please can play one of our events. It's obvious there are much more bands and offers as there are possibilities to play, so we decided in 2016 to revive our Dark Demo(n)s concept.

What?

The general idea behind these Dark Demo(n)s Nights is to offer bands the opportunity to present themselves to an audience under the best possible circumstances. That means on a proper stage, with professional lighting and sound and with an interested audience. A nice bonus for the participating bands is that the Dark Demons audience gets to vote which bands they would like to see again at our next BIMFEST.


What more?

Since 2017 we have also the full support of Peek-a-Boo Magazine who will interview every selected Dark Demons candidate.
What better to promote your band?!


Competition? NO! Opportunity YES!
We realize some bands might be are a bit reluctant about this concept but this is because they focus too much on the BIMFEST opener selection by the audience and tend see it as a contest with winners and losers. While they actually should be focussing on the opportunity to present themselves to their fans under the best possible circumstances! Maybe they can even manage to convince some new fans ! So what's there to lose?

Fair enough!?

Every (paying) visitor will get a personal voting bill. The audience vote system is set up in a way that everyone has to give every band at least one vote, rating the acts from 1 to 6. Uncompleted votes bills are considered void.

Your chances?
We can/will max select 6-8 candidates to play on the Dark Demons Night, so the chances of actually playing BIMFEST are 1/3 or 1/4... Imagine ... the horror! :D'

The past ...
In 2017 Alvar (SE) and ELM (SE/B) were selected and opened BIMFEST 2017 with great succes!

In 2016 Super Dragon Punch!! (B) and Euforic Existence (B) were selected to BIMFEST 2016.
