Majestic Mountain Records Fest Oslo: Astroqueen Reunion Added
Astroqueen‘s latest release was a 2004 split with South American heavy rockers Buffalo, so unless you’re a student of Scandinavian heavy or, like me, you’re just old, you might be forgiven for not being familiar. Their 2001 full-length, Into Submission, is the stuff of pre-mobile-social-media discovery, and as Majestic Mountain Records just reissued it, having the band at the MMR Fest Oslo for what’s apparently their first gig in 20 years, well, golly, that’s pretty darn special.
What’s something you haven’t done in 20 years?
This is coming together in such a way that not only makes me think it’ll be a party for those fortunate enough to be there, but also makes me look forward to how they develop the fest going forward, in and potentially beyond Oslo.
Bottom line: cool beans:
Majestic Mountain Records people!
Are you ready for yet another special announcement from the Majestic Mountain Fest // Oslo line-up? We hope so as we’ve got something super special headed your way today.
Just when you think this line-up couldn’t get any more stacked, we’re here to let you know that we’re not even close to wrapping it up quite yet! We’ve got some additional bands still to let loose on you along with our kick-off pre-party shenanigans so sit tight and keep those eyes peeled on the magic as it unfolds.
This next announcement is one that we are really looking forward to bringing to you. Thunderously thick, heavy and supremely fuzzy old school stoner/desert vibes are coming at you hard and fast!
Please welcome the legendary Astroqueen to the weekend’s festivities with their first show in TWENTY years.
We’re psyched to the max that they will be reuniting from their hiatus with us this June in Oslo and cannot wait to experience Astroqueen’s supersonic, desert-space fuzz bomb with all you beautiful folks.
With the sold-out Majestic reissue of ‘Into Submission,’ we are proud to be kicking off the new age of Astroqueen and hope to delight veteran followers as well as captivate a new generation of fans with their pure, fuzzy stoner rock and kick-ass riffage.
Welcome to the party, Astroqueen! It’s an honour to have you with us making history for the first edition of Majestic Fest Oslo.
Tickets are available through the link on the event page, get on it as they’re moving fast!
Thank you for your incredible support, Majestic folks. We cannot wait to bang our heads and sink some cans with you in June.

I used to love that Rufus, the Space Agent song. I downloaded it out it on a mix CD of a bunch of songs from stonerrock.com’s mp3 library. What was it, K666 radio?
That was it. That hard drive was the original foundation of The Obelisk Radio as well.
I really think this is the best thing i scrolled in 3 pages.
