First Wave of Bands Announced for RADAR Festival 2024
Genre-hopping, heaviness-forward fest RADAR Festival will be back in 2024, and they just dropped the initial lineup.
The show takes place annually at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse, and will happen this year on July 26 through 28. Already we’re stoked for Swedish band Dirty Loops, Australian prog guitarist Plini, rap-rock (but they make it work) band Oxymorrons, metal masters Conjurer (pictured on this post), metalcore band Caskets, prog metalers VOLA, and more.
The early announcement comes with early bird pricing, as tickets are now available. They went live last Saturday, so get ’em while you can.
Festival co-organizer Catherine Jackson-Smith says:
“I’m not sure I can hide my delight at Dirty Loops returning to RADAR Festival. Musically, when we booked them in 2022, it was a defining moment for RADAR Festival, signaling that we were prepared to push boundaries. I won’t ever deny they are one of my favorite bands, so I can’t wait to see them in our stunning new venue for an even bigger party!
“It’s never easy, is it?! We’ve been booking bands right up to the last moment of this announcement; some didn’t make it, and we’ll be following up with more bands soon! I know people will be blown away with what we’ve booked; it’s worth waiting for!”
