Planet Desert Rock Weekend V Announces Details for ‘Last Call’ Fourth Night; Bonehawk to Play
When last we heard from Planet Desert Rock Weekend V and the Vegas-based festival announced Unida would stand among its headliners, word was also dropped that a fourth day was being added to the event for Sunday, Feb. 2. That kind of expansion is never a minor change to make, either for attendees setting up travel plans or on the organizational end of things, putting together another lineup. Dubbed ‘Last Call!,’ Planet Desert Rock Weekend‘s final go for 2025 will feature five bands — the first of them added to the bill is Michigan’s Bonehawk, whose confirmation you can see below — and will take place in Las Vegas’ arts district at the Sinwave venue, whereas the fest-proper happens at Count’s Vamp’d and The Usual Place. Tickets are available now, separate from the Jan. 30-Feb. 1 event.
Bonehawk hail from Kalamazoo and issued their second album, Iron Mountain (review here), in 2020, some six years after making a splash with the debut noted below. They don’t really tour, and so getting them to Nevada emphasizes the sense of curation behind Planet Desert Rock Weekend more generally. It’s not just about who’s on the road at the time and needs to fill a hole in their schedule. Each act featured is brought in for a specific reason as a result of what they do. A festival driven by such passion is worthy of a singular respect in my mind, whatever that’s worth.
Here’s the latest:
Vegas Rock Revolution is proud to announce a Night 4 we named “Last Call” . We received quite a bit of feedback from our current ticketholders for Planet Desert Rock Weekend V that a final night would be cool. After some discussion with Sinwave in The Arts District, the decision was made to greenlight it. The Arts District is a bit of a local secret that has been growing quite a bit over the last few years. It has all kinds of neat stores and cool independent restaurants along with artwork all over the place.
With all that being said we are pumped to announce the 1st band for PDRW V “Last Call” is Michigan rockers Bonehawk! Quite frankly they were nearly on this year’s PDRW so the chance to finally have Bonehawk as part of a VRR or PDRW show is super cool. Ever since their debut release Albino Rhino, they have put out seriously upper-level heavy rock that features dueling guitars and harmonies for days. The band rarely ever tours and certainly not often on the west coast. We will have 4 more dynamic bands to announce in the upcoming weeks!
