Temples Festival 2016: Conan, Palehorse and More Added
Posted in Whathaveyou on May 11th, 2016 by JJ KoczanAdmittedly, it’s not like the full lineup for Temples Festival 2016 is really applicable around here — whoever heard of a band called the Melvins anyway? — but buried under some of the logos on the poster below are acts like Bongripper, Groundhogs, Ohmms, Esoteric, Palehorse, Gentlemans Pistols, Tombstones, Primitive Man, Undersmile, and Conan, and so in addition to Carcass and Jucifer and the aforementioned Melvins, there’s plenty to dig into for whatever type of heavy you happen to be looking for. Pretty sure the genre police aren’t watching anyway, but if something here isn’t stoner rock enough for you, I’ll just say lighten up and leave it at that.
If you happen to be in the UK early next month, I humbly submit the following:
Purveyors of all things far-out and heavy shall surely continue in the fine tradition laid down by Neurosis and Sunn O))) (who occupied the same position in the prior years) of masterminding the absolute and final flooring of patrons at the end of a day packed with varied and vicious sets from bands united across nations, styles and stature.
Temples 2016 once again possesses the sheer clout that made the years to date such memorable events. The full line up has already been announced, including Melvins, Mayhem (performing their seminal debut studio album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas in its entirety for the first ever time on UK soil), Groundhogs, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, and so many more. The full list takes no prisoners.
As is Temples methodology, they will be under-selling the overall capacity of Motion to minimise the strain on each room and ensure the most comfortable experience possible is had. The organisers have secured a number of caterers for 2016 which includes vegan and vegetarian options, and once again they will be offering a fairly priced Ale and Cider bar for the drinking contingency – this time, featuring a bespoke Temples Festival ale.
The time is upon us, making their much awaited return to the Temples Festival domain, please welcome Conan as our special guests on Sunday June 5th – alongside Carcass, Grave, Corrupt Moral Altar, Implore and Venom Prison. Sadly, Iron Reagan have postponed their plans to perform in June and instead will be touring the UK in September.
We are also proud to announce, we are hosting the final ever performance from one of the UK’s finest talents – Palehorse, who will join Jucifer, Mare (Hydra Head), Sonance, Tombstones & Undermsmile on our brand new second stage.
There have been a number of developments to the Motion complex over the past year and all of which are going to make for another exceptional Temples Festival, three stages, a riverside terrace & bar, large courtyard stocked with a myriad of food vendors and over the next couple of weeks we’ll be giving you glimpses of the new layout and begin outlining the site plan, on-site vendors, multiple bars (with bespoke stock lists) and of course, stage times.
With three weeks to go – we are extremely excited to get underway with Temples Festival 2016. There are a limited amount of weekend tickets left available, day tickets for Saturday are fast approaching sold out status, move quickly – www.templesfestival.co.uk/tickets
