Atheist, Doro, Ross The Boss Added to Milwaukee MetalFest 2024
Just when you thought they were done announcing bands for this year’s Milwaukee MetalFest, you find out that isn’t true at all. Earlier today, organizers took to the interwebs once again to announce that “The Metal Queen” Doro Pesch, Ross The Boss, and death metal purveyors Atheist were joining the festivities.
As we’ve said in past lineup announcements, this festival keeps getting bigger and better with the bands they’ve signed on to perform. Running from Thursday, May 16 to Sunday, May 19 at The Rave/Eagles Club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this year’s event is going to be fucking wild.
While Atheist and Ross The Boss are late additions, Doro joins the lineup to replace Destruction, who can no longer make the event.
Revitalized by Hatebreed frontman and podcaster Jamey Jasta and Sound Talent Group’s Tim Borror, the Milwaukee MetalFest has seen a resurgence since it returned last year.
Now, this should be the final band lineup announcement, but who knows at this point?! I thought we were done but today’s news might throw that notion out the window. Early bird tickets are available right now, with one, two and three day options and zero interest payment plans over at the festival’s Etix page.
With today’s inclusions, the final daily lineup for the three main days can be found below. Additionally, the fest also has a pre-party set up for that Thursday. Free to anyone with a three-day pass to the fest, the event will feature a special Jasta and Friends set, along with Toxic Ruin and H1Z1.
