Dopesmoke Festival from Brazil, which already had strong names such as Ratos de Porão, Brujeria and The Mist, arrives in its first online edition (the third in total) between April 28 and May 2 with bands from Bahia and with activities such as conversation and workshop. Among the attractions we have solid Metal names like Headhunter D.C, Mystifier, Erasy and Mercy Killing. Check out the event's release:

The State of Bahia has always been an important center for the production and diffusion of heavy metal. Two of the bands of world reference in the segment are from there: Headhunter D.C and Mystifier. This scenario enabled a powerful circulation of artists from this scene making the State to receive national and international metal tours becoming an important space for consumption of this musical style.

At the same time, the movement went beyond the borders of the capital of Bahia, Salvador, and internalized itself. It is in this context that, in the city of Feira de Santana, the DospesMoke Festival appears, an event that is going to its third edition with a date set for April 28 to May 2 on youtube. The festival, which has already received great attractions, such as the band Brujeria (USA / Mexico) will be held in a virtual environment, with free training spaces, focused on reflecting on the new directions of the scene, as well as shows, transmitted directly from a stage set up. in the second largest city in Bahia.

“DopesMoke has established itself as an important representative of this chain of music festivals in Bahia and Brazil, being an alternative to expand a market that proves to be exceptionally fertile”, comments Alan Magalhães, one of the festival's producers. “These events were almost always strictly directed at the capital and the metropolitan region”, he highlights.

Metal com Dendê - In this edition, the entire program will be made up of bands from Bahia, the capital and the interior of the state. “In this way, the festival creates a field of possibilities for strengthening different agents in the music scene and makes it possible to carry out projects between artists who, without this pretext, would never be able to enter into partnerships”, explains producer Joilson Santos.

The DopesMoke Festival - Metal com Dendê has financial support from the State of Bahia through the Secretariat of Culture and the Cultural Foundation of the State of Bahia (Aldir Blanc Bahia Program) via the Aldir Blanc Law, directed by the Special Cultural Secretariat of the Ministry of Tourism, Government Federal."
