Mad with Power Fest

Lords of the Trident
One of the finest heavy-metal events in all the land is relocating from the High Noon Saloon to The Sylvee for its sixth incarnation. The move to a larger venue is well-earned — and proof there exists an audience in Madison hungry for traditional, power and symphonic metal. This year’s all-North American lineup of a dozen bands includes Unleash the Archers, Seven Spires, Seven Kingdoms, High on Fire, Wilderun, Shield of Wings, A Sound of Thunder and the capital city’s metal kings (and event hosts) Lords of the Trident. A sellout is expected; find the schedule below and tickets at madwithpowerfest.com.
