About Us

Hammerdown was founded in 2015, initially under the name Pitch Up! Festival, by Harry White and Bradley Clark. Harry continued after Bradley moved onto other ventures, and arrived at the name Hammerdown a few months after the first event, going on to run the festival through 2016, ‘17, and ‘18. The event went on hiatus for a year, in order for Harry to learn more about business, finance, and marketing. The covid pandemic in 2020 turned that 1 year hiatus into 4, when Hammerdown made a comeback in 2022. Since then, Hammerdown has had hundreds of attendees each year, moving to bigger venues, and has hosted the likes of The Raven Age, InMe, Esoterica, South Of Salem, Fort Hope, Skarlett Riot, Seething Akira, Acres, Confessions Of A Traitor and many more.
