Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) allowed the Hellfire Music Festival  to go ahead at Lotus Tower yesterday with the new name “ Fire’ the Colombo Municipal council (CMC) said yesterday.


The name has been changed  following the conditional permission  given by the Municipal Commissioner Badrani Jayawardene. 

The organizers were asked to shelve  the name “Hellfire” as  it said to be  the name of a Satanic cult.


Municipal Commissioner Badrani Jayawardene in a letter addressed to organizers of the show on the advice of Mayor Rosy Senanayake, had informed them that the name of the show should be changed and it should be held without disrespecting any religion or any form of worship that is accepted and practiced in Sri Lanka.
