Stoned From the Underground 2025 Adds King Buffalo, Sacri Monti, Elephant Tree & Skyjoggers
Posted in Whathaveyou on December 31st, 2024 by JJ KoczanFollowing a first announcement that featured Monolord, Splinter, the Parker Griggs-led El Perro, Brant Bjork Trio and Stonerhead, the by-now-legendary Stoned From the Underground festival in Germany has made four more confirmations. And I know that might not seem like a ton, but frankly, they’re four killer-enough bands that I don’t think you need names to add. Persuasive enough is the argument of San Diego boogie-prog stalwarts Sacri Monti, Finnish out-there-bound jammers Skyjoggers, Elephant Tree making a return to the stage after years of (reasonably) limited activity, and Rochester psych-prog/prog-psych rockers King Buffalo, whose prior confirmation for Bear Stone Festival in Croatia (held July 3-6) begins to give some shape to their European tour plans for the summer.
Stoned From the Underground celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2025 — which I guess has made counting easy enough? — and if you don’t think that’s a big deal, I dunno, do anything let alone run a pioneering underground heavy music festival for a quarter-century of your life and see where you wind up. I’ve done my best in years past to keep up with the festival, which among all of them seems to be brought the least to my eyes by the algorithm — to wit, I missed the first announcement — and will do the same for the coming edition. By the time they get there it’s always a daydream, and with these four bands alone, this already would be.
Onward to what I snagged from socials and that snazzy new King Buffalo single:
