A PR wire update from Southwest Terror Fest V is most certainly welcome, but really the poster says it all. The fest is set for Oct. 20-23, and I’ll just assume that five years on from the first incarnation, the chamber of commerce for the city of Tucson, Arizona, has a plan in place to handle the influx of weirdos for the weekend. Perhaps involving taco trucks? I don’t know. They’re the professionals, they can deal with it.

Point is, look at that list of names. There are so many, and the shows are spread over different venues so that even to hand out the crucial info barely leaves room for art on the poster. The lineup has been updated somewhat since the last time I posted about it — Nails dropped off because apparently they’re not a band anymore or whatever; see you at the reunion, or not — and there’s a new video trailer to go with the proceedings as well. Not everything on the bill is a fit with this site really, but screw it, if including Agoraphobic Nosebleed in a post is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

SOUTHWEST TERROR FEST V Announces Event Updates

The promoters of Tucson, Arizona-based SOUTHWEST TERROR FEST have issued several lineup and venue updates for the incoming fifth installment of the annual event approaching this October.

SOUTHWEST TERROR FEST V: Houses Of The Unholy will take over Tucson October 20th through 23rd, with nearly four-dozen artists from across the US and Canada converging on five stages at multiple venues. Since recent announcements, Nails has been replaced with powerviolence all-stars Despise You, and a second set by Arizona punk legends Malignus Youth has been added. Additionally, one of the venues has closed its doors in recent days, but the promoters immediately shifted those shows to a new venue. There will be two private screenings of the Malignus Youth documentary being made by Rick Klu at The Screening Room during the event.

Passes for the entire festival are available HERE.

Southwest Terror Fest V, video trailer

So, uh, the PR wire says that the lineup for Southwest Terror Fest V is complete, but to look at the rather complex timetable of acts playing over the course of Oct. 20 through 23, and I can’t help but notice one headlining time slot is filled with question marks. That’s the “mystery headliner.” I don’t know about you, but I’m damn curious who might mystery-headline a fest that runs a gamut from Agoraphobic Nosebleed to Saint Vitus to Theologian. Could pretty much be anybody. Not everything here is exactly my cup of tea — golly I could use a cup of tea — but truth is I admire the hell out of the work David Rogers of Godhunter does in putting this thing together and promoting it, and wanted to post for that reason as well.

Details from the PR wire:
