MARYLAND DEATH FEST 5/23-26th, 2013 @ SONAR, BALTIMORE, MD ANNOUNCE: DOWN, THE MELVINS, EVOKEN, UFOMAMMUT and more.

Promoters for the 2013 MARYLAND DEATH FEST, set to take place 5/23-26th, 2013 @ (the venue formerly known as) THE SONAR have announced the last few bands confirmed for the fest: DOWN, THE MELVINS, EVOKEN, UFOMAMMUT and more.




FROM MARYLAND DEATH FEST 2013 PROMOTERS:
The final confirmed bands for MDF XI are below! 
With the exception of one more band that we're expecting to confirm for Soundstage in the next week or so, this is it, folks.
This is just a reminder that tickets for MDF XI go on sale on October 15th at 12 pm (EST).

Weekend passes (both the 4-day pass and 3-day pass) and Thursday only tickets will be the only options that go on sale on the 15th. Single day tickets for the other days will go on sale later in the month once a list of bands for each day of the festival has been posted.

Keep in mind that 4-day passes and

 Thursday only tickets will sell out FAST. They sold out during the first week of December last year, and it's very likely that they'll sell out even earlier than that this time around.

Also, for anyone wondering, the cost of the 4-day pass is expected to be pretty much the same as last time. If anything, it'll just be a few dollars difference. Last year, it was $180. Thursday only tickets will be in the $40 range.
October 15 - Tickets will go on sale. It is likely that only multi-day passes will go on sale on this date. We're in the process of determining who will play on each day, which could take until the end of October. As soon as a list of bands for each day is posted, single day tickets will go on sale as well. 

Just a few things that we'd like to follow up on:

As mentioned previously, accidentally left off of the list posted earlier is Massgrav (Sweden), who will be playing at Soundstage.
We'd also like to make it clear that the Ascension playing is the black metal band, the Necropsy playing is the local band from Baltimore and NOT the Finnish band, and the Infest playing is NOT from Poland. As always, if there is no country of origin listed next to the band, you can assume they are from the US.

Next Monday, multi-day passes and Thursday only tickets will be available to purchase at 12 pm (ET). There will be multi-day pass options that cover only bands playing at the former Sonar, and there will also be an option that covers all bands on all days at both venues. As mentioned previously, Soundstage will only be in use from Friday-Sunday.

We will announce who is playing the Thursday show on the 15th when tickets go on sale. We will have a list of bands for the other days complete before the end of October, which is when single day tickets for those days will go on sale.
