Blacken Open Air has finally delivered the first line-up announcement for this year’s festival.
Live in the Dead Centre of Australia, Blacken Open Air already stirred excitement early in the year when it was revealed that the legendary Blood Duster would reunite exclusively for the event. With the festival only six months away, the first round of announcements for the weekend has been released and features an international bill headed up by San Diego psych-rockers Earthless plus Czech grinders Gutalax, desert rock luminaries Brant Bjork Trio, Oregon black metal enigma Uada and Maori doom punks DAHTM. The local contigent holds its own, with Blood Duster’s only Australian show along with Witchskull, Fuxache, Battlesnake, Terminal Sleep, Hidden Intent, Nicolas Cage Fighter, South East Desert Metal, Kilat, Scarnon, Slim Krusty, Carcinoid and DAWN so far announced. This may be the final time this unique festival takes place, so stake your claim now.
