News : Acid King to headline Doomsday Festival 2016

By on June 28, 2016

Over the years Doomsday Festival has had some damn fine headliners including Cough (USA), Windhand (USA) and Church of Misery (Japan). This year harks back to the first Doomsday, with San Francisco’s Acid King returning.

“Founded and fronted by tough, motorbike riding and guitar slinging Lori S, Acid King have been kicking out the stoner rock and doom metal jams since 1993. The three-piece have released four albums (all produced by the esteemed Billy Anderson), toured with no less than High On Fire, Fu Manchu and The Melvins and played as warm-up acts to Sleep, Hawkwind, Spirit Caravan, The Obsessed and The Mystick Krewe of Clearlight to name a few. In 2015 Acid King released their long awaited fourth full-length album ‘Middle of Nowhere, Centre of Everywhere’ which has been well received by old and new fans alike.”

Full lineups will be announced soon but for now pencil in these days. Tickets are on sale now from the venues.
