Milwaukee Metal Festival Gets Even Bigger as 19 More Bands Get Added to the Bill
It can never be said that the Milwaukee Metalfest was ever short on bands to see over the course of its four days next year, as 19 more acts were added to the list earlier today.
Even though the bill came out of the gate with bangers like Mr. Bungle, Deicide, and Slaughter to Prevail, today’s drop of added bands add even more value to the cost of admission.
Today’s additions were all made to the main dates of the festival, meaning the pre-show party on Thursday, May 16 seemingly remains unchanged. Still, Friday, May 17 to Sunday, May 19, look absolutely stacked when you add the following bands:
Symphony X
Avatar
Lacuna Coil
Destruction
Bleed From Within
Eternal Champion
Devourment
Profanatica
Night Demon
Martyr Ad
Uada
Visigoth
Necrofier
Cenotaph
Cloak
Alluvial
Viogression
Beyond Threshold

Speaking on this new batch of bands, co-organizer and Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta said attendees should be absolutely stoked about what they’ll witness next spring.
“This year’s line up is growing fast & we’re extremely excited to have some of the best bands in the world headed to Milwaukee in May of 2024.”
To that end, co-organizer Tim Borror hinted that even more acts could be added in the future.
“This is already an incredible line up and we still aren’t finished. We are committed to this music and making this the best party in metal. Don’t miss Milwaukee Metal Fest 2024”
