hallowken78 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I'm considering making the trek from the Philly area. The Decibel Metal & Beer Fest got re-scheduled for this same weekend in Philly....and that is Converge (my favorite band) playing Jane Doe. So it's a tough call. My guess is that the decision will be taken out of my hands long before either of these events takes place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N8TRU Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Final 4 bands have been announced: Copeland (performing, for the first time, Beneath Medicine Tree - in its entirety), If I Die First, Nominee , and Walls of Jericho. Beloved bundles sold out. 3-day 71% sold, Saturday 80% sold, Friday & Sunday single day tickets are "OK for now' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 so, that ZAO show at the record store is my buddy's store. he used to be on this board actually as danalive (i think that was his name on here). i'm not sure how that is gonna go, he's had plenty of shows at all of his locations, but this will definitely be the biggest show there....worried the store is gonna get thrashed. rad store though, Tim Kerr did some murals of Sun Ra inside of it, he's got plenty of stuff for everyone's tastes in new and used. that Norma Jean show is at a larger venue in bham, a large open floor pit with standing room raised around it and plenty of seats and a balcony (if they have it open). their soundsystem is pretty damn great. seen a ton of shows there from all different genres and they all have sounded great. y'all enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdwell Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 and for those that don't know the Wheelhouse Salon(sponsor for the ZAO show) is also owned by one of the guys putting on FurnaceFest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 From what’s been posted & discussed in the Fest’s FB groups, they said tix for the pre-show at Seasick are extremely limited due to the space. So hopefully it won’t be packed & no damage to be done. And I’ll assume that some rules will be in place to avoid wrecking the place.

Total aside, but thanks for the info; I’m visiting my parents in BHam and was unaware of this place. I lived in town a couple decades ago and used to hit up Magic Platter (and Optic Nerve for my weirdo movie rental needs) but couldn’t find any decent place to hit as of a few years ago when I went back to town.

Bryan Peters if you remember him. Seasick is your spot, if i remember correctly Charlamagne finally shut down, sadly. Seasick is over in Avondale (which is the most recent part of BHam to be gentrified) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 My company is now sponsoring Furnace Fest. I'm trying to think of good swag items to print. What kind of swag do people actually want at festivals? I'm thinking koozies and bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 maybe some reading glasses for the target demo of this fest. i kid i kid. yeah, anything to keep folks hydrated would prolly be a solid call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Wild to me that this fest isn't sold out yet. If it were anywhere but Alabama, it would've sold out months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 i am curious as to how many tickets they had up for grabs. also, tickets to this fest are a little outrageous (to me at least). i realize it is a solid line-up, but i feel it's more expensive than festivals with the same number of artists playing. also, as Scott pointed out....it is in Alabama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippingOut Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Snagged 3 day pass tickets hours before they sold out. Anyone know if the Further Seems Forever lineup is with Chris or Jason? My personal hype train: Friday: 18v (have liked them since like 2002 - never seen live) Emery ETID FATA Terminal (I was a big fan of Goodbye Tomorrow before and when Travis was in the band - maybe some Goodbye Tomorrow thrown in??) Thursday (fan since 2002 never seen live) underoath Saturday: Anberlin Cartel Evergreen Terrace Further Seems Forever (somehow have never seen them - long time fan) He Is Legend Mae mwY Misery Signals Poison The Well Shai Hulud Taking Back Sunday Sunday: ABR Copeland Darkest Hour Fit For A King Juliana Theory Showbread KSE Edited July 27, 2021 by FlippingOut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
