Planet Desert Rock Weekend VI Adds Wolftooth to Lineup; Bone Church Drop Off
Last time around, when Bask and Kind were added to the bill, word was that was the final update from Planet Desert Rock Weekend VI set for the end of next month, but you know how these things go. Change is the order of the universe and all that. Bone Church are out and Wolftooth are in. So it goes. Wolftooth‘s new album, Wizard’s Light, streams at the bottom of this post.
The Indiana riff-metallers will take part in the Friday lineup at PDRW, playing alongside imports like The Devil and the Almighty Blues, Kaiser and Paralyzed, as well as Virginia stalwarts Freedom Hawk, as the centerpiece slot in a five-band Ripple Music showcase. You can see the full lineup as it stands in the poster below. It both totally speaks for itself and begs much nerding out about who’s making the trip, from Spaceslug and The Quill to Throttlerod and Kind. I’m stoked Familiars will be there, and Isaak and Saturna along with others I’ve never seen and surefire hits like The Atomic Bitchwax, Dirty Streets and High Desert Queen. It’s a hell of a bill, hand-picked and assembled for four killer nights in Las Vegas.
I’ve been looking forward to this since before it was announced, and I know I’m not alone. Here’s the latest from the PR wire:
Planet Desert Rock Weekend VI – Wolftooth
Well, we thought all the dust had settled, but we have a shift in the lineup for Planet Desert Rock Weekend VI. We are excited to announce that Wolftooth out of Indiana will be joining us in Vegas! This killer stoner metal band recently released their 4th album “Wizard’s Light” and landed #3 on the November Doom Charts. Ripple band Wolftooth will be playing on Night 2 (Friday) as part of the Ripple Music Showcase.
In a lineup that is very rock centric this year, Wolftooth brings some metal to the party. With influences coming from early Sword and more melodic side of metal, they deliver a hard two guitar punch every show. Had the good fortune to catch them years ago at The Spider Ballroom down in Austin and they crushed. This will be their 1st trip out west and will be just playing Planet Desert Rock Weekend while out here. Sadly, Bone Church had to cancel due to some internal band challenges. We were really looking forward to having them.
Planet Desert Rock Weekend VI in Vegas is shaping to be the most anticipated one yet as presales show we have fans coming from 6 countries (not including USA) and 31 states. The lineup features bands from 9 countries and really shows the strength in the heavy underground scene worldwide. Rock is NOT DEAD. We hope to play a small part in helping get the word out about all the amazing bands that create music that many more will love once discovered!
All sets are in the evening so fans can enjoy lots of the cool stuff in Las Vegas like museums (Punk Rock, Mob Museum, Haunted Museum, Atomic Museum + more), hiking in parks, sightseeing, gaming, cannabis lounges, shows and much more during the day. Our temps have usually been in the 50s – 60s. Each night is specially curated and will have premium sound in a comfortable indoor venue that is located at the lower end of Fremont Street. We can’t wait to see so many familiar faces back….. they have been part of the inspiration behind why Planet Desert Rock Weekend has continued to grow. We will have 4- 5 shirt designs and 5 posters all done by the amazing Joey Rudell (Fuzz Evil)! We can’t thank him enough! See you soon everyone!
Cheers,
John Gist
