THE SECOND ANNUAL SEISMIC SUMMER FEST TURNS UP THE HEAT WITH A FULL DAY OF HEAVY MUSIC PLANNED FOR AUGUST 17, 2024

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 17, 2024 — This summer promises to be the hottest and the heaviest on record.

On Sat., Aug. 17, The second annual SEISMIC SUMMER FEST will boil over at the world famous Milestone Club in Charlotte, N.C., bringing 10 supremely heavy bands to the legendary stage.

“This lineup showcases some of the best veteran and emerging acts across the East Coast,” says festival organizer Garrett Garlington, also of the Charlotte band Cosmic Reaper. “SEISMIC SUMMER, VOLUME II, is going to be one for the record books.”

After an inaugural event in 2023, headlined by Asheville, N.C., heavy psych band Bask and Greenville, S.C., sludge band Witchpit, SEISMIC SUMMER, VOLUME II promises to build on the first year’s success with an even bigger, heavier bill.

This year’s acts include:

• SATAN’S SATYRS (Herndon, Va.)

• RESTLESS SPIRIT (Long Island, N.Y.)

• FAERIE RING (Evansville, Ind.)

• COSMIC REAPER (Charlotte, N.C.)

• DOOMSDAY PROFIT (Durham, N.C.)

• MEAN GREEN (Boone, N.C.)

• WYNDRIDER (Johnson City, Tenn.)

• BLOODRITUAL (Greensboro, N.C.)

• GODSIZE (Johnson City, Tenn.)

• STORMWATCHERS (Charlotte, N.C.)

With sounds ranging from melodic doom metal and heavy psychedelic rock to crossover thrash and sludge, SEISMIC SUMMER, VOLUME II promises a dynamic cross-section of heavy music sure to delight all those who worship the Almighty Riff.

“The scene is thriving right now,” Garlington says. “There are so many great bands bringing their own personality to heavy music. We’re excited to be showcasing just a fraction of the immense talent we have in the region and beyond.”

“Year one started out as a way to bring all the bands Cosmic Reaper had met on the road together for a big party, but it quickly evolved into something more. I fully expect this fest to grow into the premier destination for heavy music in the Southeast over the coming years,” Garlington says.

Advance tickets are $25 and available now at www.themilestone.club. Ticket prices increase to $30 at the door.

SEISMIC SUMMER, VOLUME II is presented by Does It Doom?, with additional support from our sponsors, Woodrite Guitars, Pryor Custom Craft, and The Milestone Club.

Desertfest London announces 25 bands for 2024 edition including headliners Masters of Reality plus Godflesh, Monolord, Acid King, Ufomammut & more

Friday 17th May – Sunday 19th May 2024 | Weekend Tickets on sale now

Desertfest London have unveiled 25 bands for their 12th edition, taking place across multiple venues in Camden next May 17th – 19th.

Following their pandemic induced cancellation in 2020, Desertfest is thrilled to announce desert rock pioneers Masters of Reality for the event. It will be the band’s first UK appearance in almost a decade. Masters of Reality is the brainchild of legendary producer Chris Goss (Welcome to Sky Valley, Rated R, Blues for The Red Sun, Dust, Songs for The Deaf). Their combination of hard-rock blues with a progressive tinge makes no apologies for not sticking within the stylised box listeners would expect, yet simultaneously provides the perfect lesson in the musical ethos and story-telling of the Palm Desert scene - all led by the man who laid its foundations.

Following an unforgettable performance at the New York edition of the Desertfest franchise a few months ago, industrial trailblazers Godflesh will return to London for a masterclass in sonic brutality. UK exclusive performances come in the form of Swedish doom masters Monolord, California stoner metal legends Acid King and the long-awaited return of Italian experimentalists Ufomammut.

Further Desert Rock royalty rolls into Camden Town, as Brant Bjork Trio will treat attendees to a back-catalogue few artists can compete with. Instrumental sound shifters Maserati, hard-hitting duo Mantar, introspective visionaries Cloakroom and heavy-psych rockers Monkey3 will take the concept of genres and set them ablaze.

Elsewhere the likes of Blanket, Domkraft, Pijn, Sugar Horse, Stinking Lizaveta and Darsombra will bring a captivating change of pace to the event. Whilst the stoner rock vibes remain alive and well with Astroqueen, Wet Cactus, Sergeant Thunderhoof and Duskwood.

If that wasn’t enough to get your teeth into, Desertfest rounds of its first announcement with Goblinsmoker, Clouds Taste Satanic, Warpstormer, Sonic Taboo & Wizdoom.

Weekend Tickets for the event are on sale now via www.desertfest.co.uk with much more to still be announced!
