Dates and Location Announced for Eye of the Stoned Goat 5
It’s about as preliminary as preliminary announcements get, but think of it as a save-the-date card in the mail for a wedding of riffs that you’ll probably actually want to go to. The fifth edition of the Eye of the Stoned Goat festival will take place on June 12 and 13, in Amityville, Long Island. How long do you think it’ll be before someone makes an Amityville Horror reference? It’s probably already happened.
The poster with the dates and a killer, manic design by Pittsburgh-based artist Joe Mruk just came out today, and while lineup info is minimal at this point nearly to the degree of “there isn’t any,” fest organizer and Wasted Theory drummer Brendan Burns has let slip a few tidbits about thus-far confirmations from certain labels, including Metal Blade, Small Stone, Ripple Music and Totem Cat. After last year’s installment in the way-closer-to-me locale of Worcester, Massachusetts (review here), it should be interesting to see how the mobile festival, which was held in Brooklyn in 2013 (review here) and Delaware before that (review here), expands its reach this time around. Long Island in June? Sounds humid, but count me in. One can only hope for a return appearance from L.I. four-piece John Wilkes Booth.
Interesting to note if you’re making travel plans, Eye of the Stoned Goat 5 will be happening exactly two weeks before the previously announced Maryland Doom Fest in Frederick, MD. Looks like the East Coast will be the place to be this summer, which, if I can be perfectly honest with you, is a welcome change. Hey, at least gas is cheap.
Here’s the poster and quickie announcement from the fest:
