DARKEST HOUR, THE ACACIA STRAIN & More Booked For Benefit Bash

To help the Sloss Furnaces before Furnace Fest.

Darkest Hour 2023

Before Furnace Fest happens this September, organizers are seeking to raise funds to improve the Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark. And what better way to do that than a kickass benefit show?

Furnace Fest organizers have announced Benefit Bash for June 17 at the Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, AL, featuring the following lineup:

  • Darkest Hour
  • The Acacia Strain
  • Integrity
  • Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster
  • Left To Suffer
  • Capra
  • The Judas Cradle
  • Across Five Aprils
  • Holy+Gold
  • Reclaim The Empyre
  • Stay Lost
  • Joyboy

According to organizers, the funds raised from Benefit Bash will go toward the following improvements:

  • The Shed: Stage repair and enhanced lighting.
  • Under the viaduct & walkways: increased lighting.
  • The Field: Leveling, removing debris, planting new grass.

"Even if you can't make it to Benefit Bash (which would suck!), please consider purchasing a ticket as a small way of giving back to the Sloss Foundation, which welcomes us each year with warmth and excitement," added organizers. Tickets are available here.
