Maryland Deathfest VII: Announce 2nd Stage; Pig Destroyer, Splitter, Kill The Client, Grief, Magrudergrind, Weekend Nachos, Lair of the Minotaur, Unearthly Trance, Maruta, etc. Confirmed
Cementing their status as the greatest metal festival in the United States, the organizers of the annual Maryland Deathfest, which will take place from May 22nd to 24th at the Sonar in Baltimore, MD, have released the following update:
“We’d like to let everyone know that we’ve decided to utilize the second stage in the club room of Sonar and we’ll be confirming roughly 50 bands total. We’ve never been big fans of making someone pick and choose a band to see because of two bands playing simultaneously, so bands that will perform on the second stage will not be scheduled to start until a band finishes playing on the main stage. This will allow every band on the second stage to play for at least 15-20 minutes when no other band is playing, not to mention many of the bands on the second stage won’t need much more than 20 minutes to play.
With that said, we’ve already confirmed a lot of bands to appear on the second stage. With the exception of PIG DESTROYER and SPLITTER, all of the bands confirmed below will be appearing on the second stage. Also, the next band announcements we expect to make will quite possibly be the biggest announcement we’ve ever made in the history of MDF, so stay tuned.
