The upcoming First Tampa Clash of Thrash Fest, originally set for Saturday, December 13, 2025, has officially been cancelled.
Festival organizers Terror Bay Distro announced the news via social media, expressing regret over the decision:
“Unfortunately this event has been cancelled, this was a difficult decision to make and it makes me sad to post this, I’m so sorry… hopefully in the future we can make this happen and try again. For those who purchased tickets you will be refunded within the next 2 weeks so please keep an eye out for that. Once again I am sorry to everyone and it was a hard choice for me to make. Much love and respect to everyone.”
No specific reason for the cancellation has been disclosed at this time.
The Clash of Thrash was set to bring together over a dozen acts from across the U.S., including Today Is The Day, Flesh Parade, Nemesis, Smash ‘Em Up, Kamikaze Zombie, and many more across two stages at a Tampa venue.
Fans who purchased tickets are advised to expect refunds within the next two weeks, as confirmed by organizers.
While the inaugural Tampa Clash won’t take place this December, Terror Bay Distro has expressed hope to revisit the idea in the future.
