Furnace Fest 2024, “The End of an Era”
From 2000 to 2003, the original Furnace Fest brought incredible punk, hardcore and metal acts—and their fans—to The Magic City. In 2019, a group of four friends set out to replicate the original Furnace Fest in a one-time event.
Although the new iteration of Furnace Fest was postponed by the pandemic, it finally returned in 2021. After putting on the event in 2022 and 2023, the festival’s organizers announced that 2024 would be the “End of an Era” for Furnace Fest as we know it.
Furnace Fest 2024 will take place from October 4-6 at Sloss Furnaces.
