The Milwaukee Metal Fest has added Doro, Ross the Boss and Atheist to its 2024 lineup.
Milwaukee Metal Fest will run May 17 to 19, with a pre-party on May 16, at The Rave/Eagles Club in Milwaukee, Wiconsin.
The festival returned to prominence in 2023 under the eyes of Jasta and co-organizer Tim Borror, as well as the team at The Rave/Eagles Club, where so many of the original festivals took place.
Tickets—one-, two- and three-day passes—are available here.
Fans can visit the official Milwaukee Metal Fest site and sign up for the mailing list for first access to information and exclusive content.
Doro Pesch got her start as the singer for Warlock, which was formed in her hometown of Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1983. Since then, she has solidified her place among the greatest figures in rock and metal, slaying audiences around the globe under her eponymous banner. This will be her first appearance in Milwaukee in several years and she will be replacing Destruction, which can no longer make it.
Known for his role as a founding member of both Manowar and The Dictators, Ross the Boss has displayed a multi-faceted ability to adapt as a guitarist and keyboardist to any genre.
Atheist is among the purveyors of Florida death metal, known for its jazz-laden technicality. As the band works on its long-awaited fifth studio album, which will follow up 2010’s “Jupiter,” Atheist is back on the road.
