If you’re looking for a festival with some of the most unique band names out there, Shamrock Slaughter Festival in Fort Wayne, Indiana has you covered, kicking off their festivities on Friday, March 13th. The two-day festival announced the two major headliners are Incantation and Sanguisugabogg with Incantation responsible for Friday night and Sanguisugabogg responsible for Saturday night.
With two stages running all day with no overlapping sets, there are 28 bands that are due to perform, ranging from brutal death metal, slam, death metal, and extreme underground styles (which may account for the rather… colourful band names on the lineup). The ticket description does also warn that you “mosh at your own risk,” so there’s no mistaking what’s going to go down at Shamrock Slaughter.
The first band is due on at 2:30pm on Friday, wrapping up at 11:30pm before Saturday kicks off the festivities again at 2:30pm, but goes until about midnight. You can check out the bands responsible for nearly 20 hours of straight metal below, and snag your tickets here.
