History

The Sonic Forge Festival was established by Welkin Entertainment in 2010 as a charity event to raise funds for the Center of Hope in Haiti in the wake of the earthquake in that country in 2009 that left thousands orphaned. It has grown steadily since that time and in 2013 introduced the first international guests, Ulcerate from NZ and French band Hypno5e.
