An updated list of confirmed bands can be found below.

As mentioned previously, we expect to reveal information regarding the new venue sometime in August."

From their Facebook Page.

My reaction: Pagan Altar? WTF? Wat....HOLY FUCKING HELL!?!?!?!
 
Pagan Altar?! Fuck YES.
PIG DESTROYER?!?!!!?!?!?!? :kickass: :kickass:

God damn, it just keeps getting better. The only additions that would put this over the top for me would be Squash Bowels and/or Rompeprop. But, at this point that will just be huge unexpected bonuses because, well, I was locked in when I saw Manilla Road on the bill...Fuck, next year is going to be a good one!
 
Waiting to see tons of shittier bands headline/play longer sets than Pagan and Manilla Road.

Wanted to give the SKR forum a heads up - you heard it here first...

PAGAN ALTAR is playing MDF

I was able to get them and MANILLA ROAD on the bill this year.

Enjoy and hopefully more SKR bands will get on in the future.

:drinkers:
 
"5 more bands have been confirmed for for MDF XI:

EXODUS
BENEDICTION (UK) - Exclusive US show!
IHSAHN (Norway) - Exclusive US show!
INIQUITY (Denmark) - Exclusive US show!
GLORIOR BELLI - Exclusive US show!

Stay tuned for an announcement in September that will include additional headliners for next year's fest, including the headliner for the Thursday show.

Regarding the venue information for next year, we are still sorting through our options and weighing out the pros and cons of each. There's a chance that we'll be ready to post the info before the end of August, but be aware that this could trickle into the first half of September. As of now, we do intend on keeping the fest in Baltimore close to hotels.

We plan on having both the venue information and billing complete before the end of September. Tickets will likely go on sale around the first of October, but stay tuned for a precise date."

Shitty, shitty announcement, though Iniquity should be cool.
 
Next Announcement:

10 more bands confirmed for MDF XI!

BOLT THROWER (UK) - Headlining the Thursday show!
SLEEP
CARPATHIAN FOREST (Norway) - Exclusive US appearance!
REVENGE (Canada) - Exclusive US appearance!
ABIGAIL (Japan)
CRUCIAMENTUM (UK)
ANHEDONIST
SPEEDWOLF
AMBASSADOR GUN
ASTHMA CASTLE

It looks like we'll be announcing the venue info sometime next week. It's impossible to put a precise date on that announcement, but everything is coming together. The final announcement of bands will be sometime between October 8-10. Until we get to the end of the booking process and see what comes together or not, we don't know who is headlining other than Venom (between Fri-Sun) and Bolt Thrower (Thurs). Tickets will go on sale by mid-October. We'll keep you posted on a precise date.
NOTE: The Thursday show will be inside only, so once again, 4-day passes and Thursday only tickets will be extremely limited.

Ihsahn sounds good live, i saw them last june. they play proggy atmospheric metal with a mix of clean vocals and a bit of Ihsahn's signature "shouted black metal" vocals.

that lineup does look fucking badass :O
