I don't know how many people use Qobuz and intend to go to #FurnaceFest in October (just me, probably?), but I put together a quick 22.5-hour playlist of the most popular songs from most of the bands who will be playing.

Furnace Fest to return in 2025 | Metal Insider

It looks like Furnace Fest will return in 2025. In late 2023, the event organizers expressed concern about the festival continuing after 2024.

Seeing clips from all these huge metal festivals really hammers home how special #FurnaceFest was for having no barricade.
Truly an end of an era.

Made a trip to Birmingham, AL last week too attend Furnace Fest 2024

I’ve been to a lot of shows this year. Hell, I’ve been to a TON of shows since Covid restrictions lifted in 2020.

However, FF 2024 was something I could have never expected. That festival was outstanding. The range of emotions I felt at the festival is nothing compared to what I’ve been feeling the last 48 hours.

Music has always been important to me. As I get older, concerts have become a major source of therapy. FF 2024 reminded me of how I felt at concerts back in my early 20’s. I’m thankful for these memories and these emotions.

It’s a reminder that sometimes, in our youth, we just need a healthy outlet to work through our own emotions and issues. It may not make sense to those around you, and it doesn’t need to. If you’re happy, enjoy it. And if you can, look out for those who may need an embrace or a moment to talk. Support those around you 🤘🫶

Farewell #FurnaceFest (2000-2024)

The #FurnaceFest baseball cards this year kick fucking ass

The #FurnaceFest community fb is ablaze because of a pro For Today post. You know, that homophobic anti-abortion Christian #metalcore band that thankfully broke up years ago. We gotta stop excusing reactionary views under the guise of religion in punk and hardcore.
