Temples Festival 2015 Adds Converge as First Headliner
Temples Festival made a pretty impressive debut in 2014 with Neurosis, Electric Wizard and Clutch as headliners, and it seems they’ll continue their push into the underground festival marketshare next year as well. There are some impressive names on their lineup so far — Goatsnake, Triptykon, Pig Destroyer, etc. — and a few I’d have a hard time caring less about if you paid me — incidentally, I’m available for hire in this capacity — but the one name you need to see to know these cats mean business is Bongzilla.
A Bongzilla reunion, whether it takes place only at Temples or at other fests too, puts the Bristol-based gathering in the league of events that doesn’t only assemble bands to play, but that makes something special happen as well. It’s the first I’m hearing of a Bongzilla reunion at all, so I’ll be interested to discover in the coming weeks how far they’re going with it as more dates are (at least potentially) announced. Either way, that’s obviously a welcome name to see on a lineup anywhere.
The announcement went out earlier via Thee Facebooks, and it looked like this:
Patrons of Temples Festival,
Please welcome our first headliner of 2015, performing in Bristol for the first time ever as their only UK show of 2015; the legendary Converge.
Converge will be joined on our Main Stage by an onslaught of prestigious bands (including both Nails & Trap Them) on Friday May 29th – which, at the risk of perpetuating stereotypical promoter hype……is gearing up to be one of the most chaotic line-ups the UK will ever witness.
Furthermore, please welcome another 17 bands to the Temples Festival 2015 line-up (in no set order);
PIG DESTROYER
TRIPTYKON
GOATSNAKE
NAILS
BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME
BONGZILLA
TORCHE
MAGRUDERGRIND
TODAY IS THE DAY
PORTAL
TRAP THEM
WILL HAVEN
BOLZER
IMPETUOUS RITUAL
GOATWHORE
CELESTE
LENG T’CHE
With an additional 55 artists yet to be announced, including both our Saturday and Sunday headliners – Temples Festival 2015 is firmly on track to match the calibre of artists on offer at our inaugural edition, and follow on with the simple theme of well-programmed & diverse underground heavy music.
Temples Festival 2015 will also include the addition of a third stage, an outdoor ale/cider bar, high-quality catering suited to both vegan and carnivore dietary requirements alike – and all set within the confines of one of the most unique and versatile venues in the UK. This truly is shaping up to be something monumental.
Weekend Tickets are now available from www.templesfestival.co.uk, Day Tickets will not be released until later in the year.
Again, we’re expecting you…….
