Furnace Fest 2025 Tour

I guess it’s not dead. Here are all the bands I texted Chad to try and get for this year:


Old head


Starflyer 59

Twothirtyeight

Envy

Circa survive

Maylene doing self titled

Academy is doing almost here

Means

Copeland in motion

Brandtson send us a signal

With blood comes cleansing

Chasing victory I call this abandonment

Hopesfall

Terminal

Beloved

Mae everglow

Receiving end of sirens “between the heart”

Spitfire “self help”

Anadivine

June if you speak any faster

Further seems forever

Lovedrug “pretend your alive”

A static lullaby

Dead poetic

Number one gun

Still remains

Not 100% committed to going, but I’ll definitely be eyeing the lineup.

 

Bear vs Shark is semi-active again. I've been trying to advocate for them coming for the last 4 years, before they were even as active as they will be this year!

Love Circa Survive on the list. I would die if it happens.

Other impossible dream band is Fear Before. I'll take Memory Drip too

Would also love Hot Mulligan, La Dispute, Sweet Pill, Pinkshift

 

Would be sick if one day ERRA played Augment in full (since they didn’t do anything for the tenth anniversary) in the shed with the Augment era lineup and then another day they played main stage with the current lineup.

 

I live in Birmingham, so I'll 100% be there. I wonder what happened to convince them to go for 1 more year? I know it gets speculated every year, but the first thing that pops into my head is maybe The Chariot finally agreed to play. That alone would make 1 more year worth it.

 

I think it might’ve been a money/venue thing. Scogin has said don’t expect The Chariot.

 

I don’t want a The Chariot reunion. Leave it be. Let one band stay dead, respectfully

 

Won't be able to attend but following to live vicariously.

 

That's fair. I didn't get into them until after they had already called it quits, so I selfishly just want one chance to see them live. Seeing '68 do a snippet of Teach will probably be the closest I ever get

 

Those old Chariot shows where the venue practically collapses in a basement where by the end of it you’re tackled into a drumset were the stuff of legends.

 

I really want to go again but this year I am going to have a 6 month old baby at home so I need to figure out my priorities. I met some cool people this year, it would be nice to see them. It's always funny to me being the one Jewish guy surrounded by devoted Christians at the fest.
