“The Good, The Bad and The Julie! Ms. CHRISTMAS is the combination of fire and ice, a tornado of emotion that is at once burning hot and freezing cold, with every whisper and every scream you know you are experiencing something transcendent. Microphone in hand she transforms the entire concert into an art space. It’s a living hallucination, melancholic, oppressive and nerve shattering. You’re not ready for this.” – Hellfest
In cooperation with Hellfest, JULIE CHRISTMAS‘ full live set from this year’s festival is available on YouTube HERE.

Julie comments: “Hellfest is a make you or break you stage. So many great bands to be worse than, so many cool people to disappoint. A dream where YOU are the naked one. As I started to walk towards the stage, I could see the crowd. I could hear the special silence that thousands of excited, waiting people make, like an electrical hum. I also saw my best friends on stage waiting. Sound warriors biting at the bit and ready to get into it. It was then that I realized..fall down flat on my face, or best performance ever – NOTHING CAN BREAK ME, I’M JULIE CHRISTMAS. Thank you to Hellfest for letting us yell into that night. And most of all, thank you to the beautiful crowd. They were right there with us.”
