Furnace Fest 2025 Tour • Page 3

i have been to the south and alabama in fact! yes. if the fest was in laurel (home of home town) then maybe we'd be talking.

 

Laurel… Mississippi? I’m confused.

anyway, I live in Birmingham and love it, but also it doesn’t really matter. If you’re in town for the festival, you really don’t leave the grounds. You might walk across the street to get a beer from the brewery, or you might go to a restaurant within walking distance to sit for a minute, but as long as you got a hotel with a comfortable bed, you’re set.

 

sorry i tend to confuse the two states.

i’m just joking, it’s probably awesome. would love to go to the fest.

don’t drink alcohol anymore, somehow developed an allergic reaction. sucks.

 

Look, to be fair, they do tend to say “Thai is the lowest price for tickets” then offer a BOGO or some sort of flash sale a month or two before the fest.

Plus, last year there were a ton of people who couldn’t make it/selling their tickets for cheap (I know, because I was one of them). So I think I’ll be holding out for now.

I do miss bama though

 

I gotta imagine at the very least they got A Static Lullaby and Drop Dead Gorgeous

 

Citizen got announced

 

They seem to be doing five bands a day once a week but not necessarily the same day?

 

Does that mean a full line up in 5 weeks?

 

no, it will just be 25 of the 80ish bands.

 

“wait until the end for the grandest surprise” reads like a line up drop to me (and it would fit when all the others dropped)

 

sorry I thought you were asking if the full lineup would be revealed through these reveals. Believe it or not there were people commenting “only 25 bands this year?” And then being lame about it

 

Good get, that new ep rules

 

Haywire

 

Good on FF for booking some contemporary acts that slap as opposed to resting on their laurels with nostalgia acts.

 

Yeah this feels like maybe we're leaning a little newer and eclectic this year. Citizen and Rolo Tomassi are big hits for me.

 

I do have a soft spot for Zao but that particular album being played live doesn't do a ton for me.

 

In their first announcement post they said it was "one part then, two parts now" so I think they've basically confirmed this.

 

2/10 for me

 

0/10

 

6/10 for me so far

 

Garrett I've never led you astray, listen to Rolo Tomassi's album, Where Myth Becomes Memory.
