FROM MIGRATION FEST 2016 PROMOTERS:
Thanks to the incredibly overwhelming response to the 100 early bird weekend passes (SOLD OUT IN 1 MINUTE) and to meet the extreme demand, we are releasing another 250 tickets on this first day of sales.
In order to keep within our production budget, we had always planned to raise the price from the Early Bird price, and that is reflected in these newly released tickets. These are still lower than the full price tickets were intended to be on March 4th. Thanks you.

Migration Fest is pleased to announce the return of the Australian lords of misery Mournful Congregation to the Pacific Northwest in a headlining performance. The masters of extreme doom with a progressivism unprecedented in the genre, Mournful Congregation will appear at Migration Fest ahead of the release of their 5th full length LP due later in 2016.
The band most recently released the Concrescence Of The Sophia MLP in 2014 and the monumental The Book Of Kings album in 2011, both of which saw them tour in the US. Mournful Congregation is a long running institution within the Doom Metal underground and will minister to American disciples of despair once more, spreading the June Frost over the August Heat of the Northwest.
Migration Fest is also honored to welcome Oregon's own purveyors of doom and misery, HELL. As a part of the first two Gilead Fests, and a part of the extended Gilead Media family, we could not be more pleased to welcome them to the first installment of Migration Fest.
20 Buck Spin and Gilead Media, two of underground metal's leading underdog record labels, will join forces in Summer 2016 to present the inaugural Migration Festival in Olympia, Washington. Jointly conceived by the two labels, Migration will primarily showcase bands from each label's roster, as well as select other affiliated and respected artists, highlighting the distinct and contrasting styles that makes each label stand out.
Set to take place at the historic Capitol Theater in downtown Olympia on August 12, 13, and 14, the rich musical history of Washington's small capital city makes an ideal location to celebrate the work of two labels successfully operating outside the boundaries of the big city music business.

ABOUT THE CURATORS:
--------------------------
20 Buck Spin was founded in early 2005 in the East Bay Area of California and has been based in Olympia, WA since late 2007. The label has released approximately 80 records during that time steadily increasing its yearly output and range.
"I'd heard Adam (Bartlett, Gilead Media boss) was thinking of coming West to do the next iteration of Gilead Fest. I'd been thinking of doing something similar myself for years but never had, and so suggested we join up and do something together. Adam was immediately receptive and the idea for Migration Festival was born right then." said David Adelson, 20 Buck Spin founder. "Olympia felt right since I'm already based here, and because of its small size and walkability this is a great place to have it, both for locals, and for out-of-towners.
Gilead Media was founded in 2005 in Toledo, Ohio, and in 2007 relocated to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the hometown of founder Adam Bartlett. Since its inception the label has focused on releasing thought-provoking art from across the spectrum of dark and heavy music.
Says Bartlett, "After two successful installments of my own Gilead Fest in this small Wisconsin town it seemed like the time was right to branch out and try something different. The idea to work with Dave and his label on a collaborative event makes perfect sense given our similar music backgrounds and diverse, but complimentary label families. And Olympia serves as the perfect central location for this type of festival."
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
