SonicBlast Fest 2022 Lineup Announced: Electric Wizard, Weedeater, 1000mods & More to Play
SonicBlast Fest announced its 2021 edition was being postponed at the end of the month, and already they’re turning around and making a first announcement for 2022. That’s kind of comforting. Some of these acts — looking at you, Psychlona — have been waiting to play the Portugal-based festival since being announced for 2020 — but barring disaster, there’s a reasonable expectation that 2022 might be a return year, so in addition to them, SonicBlast Fest 2022 is rolling out the formidable likes of Green Lung, Electric Wizard, Pentagram, Weedeater, 1000mods, The Machine, Samavayo, The Devil and the Almighty Blues, Tia Carrera, Slift, and a ton of others with more to come. If you’re going to do a thing, get in there and do it.
Tickets are on sale now, or if you’ve already got them either for 2020 or 2021, they’ll carry over. 2020 was supposed to be my year to hit this fest, as well as a whole bunch of others. So it goes. If you make it to Âncora for the three-dayer next August, you go with my respect and admiration, and no shortage of jealousy.
Lineup info follows here, as per socials:
Come fanatics, come to the sabbath

Ha! Yes not the most classy poster. I was quietly grumbling about it popping up on my screen while at work yesterday.
The thing is, it’s not even that sexy – if you’re going to go for sleaze at least turn me on!
I guess? Or better, don’t go for sleaze at all. It’s so tired at this point. Branca does a LOT of cool stuff and has had a big aesthetic influence, but the exploitation thing doesn’t do it for me.
“Or better, don’t go for sleaze at all.”
Well yeah, that. Flippant comment undermined core message, story of my life. Did wonder what you’d make of the image heheh
Line up looks tasy though. Kind of having to accept that my life is just not free-wheeling (or money-rich) enough to float around all these wonderful events. Right now I’d settle for being allowed to enter Germany.
