Furnace Fest 2024 Tour

TLDR; Furnace Fest 2024 is 10/4/2024-10/6/2024, they're unsure if they'll continue after 2024. Tickets are $150 right now through 10/1 @ 6pm CST & will never be cheaper than that.


Furnace Fest Family: the end of an era is upon us.

In 2019, four unlikely friends set out to replicate the original Furnace Fest as a one-time resurrection. After postponing twice, FF2021 drew us together when we needed each other and live music most. From the heights of that glorious weekend, we began dreaming about a full four-year replica of the originals. We can't believe we're saying it, but next year, 2024, is the end of an era - completing our vision for Furnace Fest as we've come to know it.

What does this mean beyond next year? Will the festival end? Morph into something new, something different? These are the questions we are asking ourselves. What do we know? Furnace Fest transcends extended weekends in Alabama because we are a community, friends, and family defined not by differences but by similarities of history and passion.
Regardless of what happens beyond 2024, thank you for journeying with us. You've brought so much brightness into this season, helping us recover from a global pandemic and far more. Apart from your generous commitment to a dream, none of this would have happened. You found a way to make ten minutes last forever.

Here's what is next!

Starting now through Sunday, Oct. 1st at 6 PM CST - early bird pre-sales to FF2024: The End of an Era are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets will never be cheaper (guaranteed or your money back).

We love and value you with all the fondness in the world.

See you in 2024 (October 4-6th)!

It should be noted that $150 price point sold out already.

Probably going for the fourth year in a row, but can’t financially commit right now.

 

Got my ticket. Went to FF21 and it was amazing. Might skip Riot Fest for this.

 

So out of coincidence the Means guys reunited at a wedding this weekend. They put a pic up on their Fb page. I wrote “please play furnace fest next year!” And they liked it, so I’m gonna be pushing that one hard in the FF community page.

 

I’m going to call Chad and get a 23 rundown and send him a list of hopefuls for 24

 

2024 Wishlist

The Chariot and 98 other bands. But also, gonna spitball a bunch that could make to a good festival for me when combined with a bunch of other hardcore/metalcore bands I’m blanking on:

Headliner Level (new): AFI, Rise Against, Coheed & Cambria IKSOSE:3 , Yellowcard, The Gaslight Anthem, Jimmy Eat World, Something Corporate/Jack’s Mannequin/not the Wilderness, A Day To Remember (ehhh, first three albums maybe), City & Colour, Dashboard Confessional

Headliner Level (repeat): Underoath TOCS, Taking Back Sunday WYWTB

New: Copeland, Bitter End, The Wonder Years, Spanish Love Songs, The Starting Line, Senses Fail, Story of the Year, The Fold, Jonezetta, Waking Ashland, Barely Civil, Caspian, Pelican, 65daysofstatic, This Will Destroy You, The Dangerous Summer RFTS, La Dispute, Pianos Become The Teeth KY, Straylight Run, 100 Gecs

Repeats: Silent Planet, He Is Legend, Cartel, Emery TWE, Norma Jean, August Burns Red, Maylene & The Sons of Disaster, Spiritbox, Saosin (but Cove this time), Touché Amore

 

I think 2 album play through sets that are almost guaranteed in my mind are:

Emery - The Weaks End
He is Legend - I Am Hollywood

Both celebrating their 20th next year.

 

I've always been under the impression He Is Legend wants to distance themselves from IAH as much as possible at this point, but I'd love that. Their band manager is also one of the four main guys running the festival, so probably decent to say they'll at least play it again (hopefully in the shed this time).

 

Honestly, I don’t want The Chariot to get back together because I do enjoy it being a place and time thing, but them, Sunday night in the shed would actually burn Birmingham to the ground

 

judging by the reaction to Jimmy coming out for Haste the Day, no one would survive and I’d be the first to go

 

I feel like if it's gonna happen, the "last" Furnace Fest is probably the best chance we'll get. My dumb ass didn't go to the farewell tour & I'm still kicking myself a decade later

 

I do not want The Chariot to become a full-time band again by any means, but would definitely kill to see them just one more time. I think they're gonna get a HUGE offer for this.

 

Yeah knowing what I know about FF, this will probably be one of biggest offers made in fest history. They are the number one band to get.

 

Yea Chariot or a Norma Jean reunion are pretty much the two biggest ones they could get.

 

What I wouldn't give to hear, "NO BABE. NO BABE. BABE WAIT. BABE. BABE." screamed during soundcheck one more time...

 

In 2010, at some point in the “blood on the…” breakdown in Deaf Policeman, I got tackled by the bass player into the drum kit to end the show. Scogin was halfway across the venue. It was some dank little hole in the wall in Chattanooga. Place was absolutely nuts. I crave that high.

I've been hoping for Twothirtyeight, that would be amazing. Colour Revolt would be another dream reunion show

 

I saw two thirty eight at their one reunion thing they did 10 years ago and it was amazing

 

Just informed that Scogin already turned down OG NJ or The Chariot reunion

 

I knew he would. It’s admirable, but get that check good sir. 45 minutes won’t hurt your artistic integrity.

 

Solid list. Add on Extol since they missed this year and few others and I would be intrigued.

 

My wish list for next year:

Dear Whoever
Further Seems Forever with both Jason and Chris
Fenix TX
Relient K
Across Five Aprils
Swift
Five Pointe O
Embodyment
From A Second Story Window
A Static Lullaby
Dead Poetic
Stutterfly

 

I remember hearing somewhere that they have a lot of 20year performances lined up for next year.

idk who or what I have to do but for the love of god, make From First To Last one of them

 

Dillinger won’t reunite anytime soon, Ben basically put out a statement saying they all haven’t talked to Greg since 2018 and don’t care to.
