Burn It Down prepares its return to the Torquay seafront, with the acclaimed alt and heavy music festival having unveiled the first wave of artists to be gracing the English Riviera this August Bank Holiday. Pre-sale tickets go on sale at 10am on Monday 3rd March, with general sale going live at the same time the next day.
Spanning two days, the fest will transform beloved Torquay venues The Foundry, Attic, and Apple & Parrot into the South West’s premium indoor festival for alternative and heavy music. Hardcore punk masters ZuLu head up the action on Friday 29th August alongside the likes of God Complex, Knives, Tropic Gold, CRASHFACE, and The Menstrual Cramps; Saturday 30th August sees Norweigan outfit Blood Command, groove metal group Desolated, and eclectic alternative band Mouth Culture taking the South West by storm with the help of Feed the Rhino, Last Hounds, Frozemode, and many more.
Burn It Down recently won big at the UK Festival Awards, scooping up both Best Micro Festival and Best Metropolitan Festival at the most recent ceremony. It’s a true gem of a festival not to be missed by metalheads, and you can change that by signing up on Skiddle now!
