<p>In <strong>1992</strong> our precious Ieperfest started out as a 2-day fest in the old Vort'n Vis pub. A few enthusiastic fanatics, driven by <strong>ideals</strong>, wanted to offer young underground bands a chance to <strong>share</strong> their <strong>music</strong> with a larger likeminded audience. It seemed cool to bring all those hardcore/punk kids together in a great atmosphere with bands spreading their positive message.</p>

<p>Anno 2018, and 26 editions later, we're still standing. Never could we have imagined that <strong>26 years later</strong> we would be <strong>the world's longest running underground hardcore festival</strong>. Even so, we still embrace the same ideals and enthusiasm as in the early days. This organisation, run by volunteers only, is still going strong on the path of <strong>DIY-hardcore</strong>. We’re so proud of it!</p>

<p>In 1992 we offered our first plate of <strong>vegan food</strong>, and so are we still doing, uncompromised. No matter at which location we organised our beloved festival, the <strong>ecological spirit</strong> was always there. We increased our efforts towards our green policy drastically over the years, inspiring many other events and winning several Green Awards.</p>

<p>Of course, none of this would have been possible without the continuing support of all volunteers, or '<strong>shitworkers</strong>', countless <strong>bands</strong> and <strong>visitors</strong> from all over the globe! We thank and applaud you all.</p>
<p>Today, the world of festivals has <strong>changed</strong> ... a lot! Bands require more cash, costs for logistics increase rapidly and we find ourselves confronted with a competition between many other, often well sponsored, mainstream festivals.</p>
<p>As a small underground festival we have always tried to squeeze every penny for its value. Big financial sponsors were never our thing and we have always re-invested every dime earned, back into the festival. Being the small entity that we are, we find ourselves now confronted with the <strong>dark side of economics</strong>.</p>

<p>The latest edition of our festival didn't attract the amount of spectators we hoped for and left us with a huge financial hangover. But this is Ieperfest, <strong>giving up doesn't appear in our dictionary</strong>. The lifelong friendships, sharing music and commitment. We refuse to let this go!</p>
<p>So we call upon you to <strong>help us out</strong>. Support us by donating with only one goal in mind: <strong>keep this unique festival alive</strong> and ensure the organisation of future editions of our and your precious Ieperfest!<br />
<br />
Ieperfest has always been a <strong>family</strong> and now we turn towards you for help with a much appreciated <strong>donation</strong>.</p>
<p>Obviously you will get exclusive stuff in <strong>return</strong> for your well-earned cash.<br />
Great items, all of them <strong>exclusive designs</strong>, even the food! ;-)</p>
