Migration Fest III is cancelled. All tickets have been refunded.
20 Buck Spin and Gilead Media, two of underground metal’s leading underdog record labels, have joined forces in to present the biennial Migration Festival. Jointly conceived by the two labels, Migration will primarily showcase bands from each label’s roster, as well as select other affiliated and respected artists, highlighting the distinct and contrasting styles that makes each label stand out.
NO GUEST LISTS. NO PRESS PASSES. NO PHOTO PRESSES.
We will not be issuing guest list spots, press passes, or photo passes for Migration Fest. This is a festival to celebrate our friends in these bands. It’s your choice whether or not you’d like to support that. We already have a crew of talented, professional photographer pals to help capture the weekend, as seen in the photo gallery on our website.
THE FEST IS FULLY BOOKED. NO BAND SUBMISSIONS ACCEPTED.
Although we appreciate the interest of bands that want to join us for the weekend, no submissions or requests to play will be considered. Migration Fest is a curated event, all bands are personally selected by Dave and Adam from 20 Buck Spin and Gilead Media.
