Ragefest UK first started up in 2011 at The Musician in Leicester by Ragebreed Promotions owned by Karina Sher who is the owner and CEO of Ragebreed including festival director and event manager of the festival itself.  It was booked for bands to raise their profile to perform with signed bands without buy ons that you usually get on tours. Ragebreed Promotions then later did the 2nd one at Firebug in Leicester in 2015 and then finally at The Olde Salutation Inn in Nottingham as a 2 day event with Ragebreed Club Night afterwards in 2019.  Karina is fully certified in event management and has been running/promoting events, managing tours and alternative and underground club nights in the UK since 1996.  She has dealt with signed and unsigned bands working with global booking agents, venues all over the UK and affiliated with promoters/media partners around the world.
