Controversies

[edit]

In 2012, achain mail was circulated, implying that RAMFest had aSatanic involvement. As a result, RAMFest had trouble organising another venue for the Bloemfontein leg of the fest[37] and it was cancelled there due to pressure from religious groups.[38]

In December 2012, the metalcore bandAs I Lay Dying pulled out from the RAMFest 2013 line-up due to being double booked to supportThe Devil Wears Prada on their tour.[39][40] The Devil Wears Prada's tour dates conflicted with RAMFest 2013's dates, making it impossible for As I Lay Dying to have performed at Ramfest 2013.[41]

DuringBring Me the Horizon's set at theJohannesburg leg of the festival for 2013, tear gas was thrown into the crowd which caused fans to cough and tear up.[42]

RAMFest announced that the 2015 edition of the festival was cancelled, citing the lack of suitable acts for the line up as the reason for its cancellation.[2]

RAMFest announced that the 2016 edition will not feature any international acts, and cancelled the festival.
