The Sisters Of Mercy, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and more acts confirmed for REVERENCE VALADA 2016
Portugal's groundbreaking heavy, psyche and indie festival REVERENCE VALADA just
confirmed a new batch of bands to play the festival this September near
Lisbon. Please welcome The Sisters of Mercy, The Brian Jonestown
Massacre, The Raveonettes, Fat White Family, A Place To Bury Strangers,
Mars Red Sky, The Japanese Girl, The Black Wizards, Steak and Earth
Drive to this mouth-watering vintage of the festival.
One of the most influential bands of the 80's THE SISTERS OF MERCY return
to Portugal this summer! Although they have remained very active,
playing numerous shows throughout the past decade, the Leeds-based
outfit hasn't released a full-length since their 1990's Vision Thing.
For this headline show at Reverence Valada, the band will perform some
all-time classics along with a handful of unreleased gems. Not to be
missed.
Led by genius frontman Anton Newcomben, San Francisco's THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE are
one of the most respected bands in the modern psych scene, also known
for delivering uncompromising energetic live shows. The band will
celebrate their 25th anniversary this year at Reverence.
Blending '60s psych garage with noise pop influences, Denmark's prolific duo THE RAVEONETTES are
already mentioned as a must-see of this year's edition. In a mission to
show the Reverence crowd what a "fresh and thriling" band is, their debut album Champagne Holocaust skyrocketed FAT WHITE FAMILY them on top of the British psych scene.
They don't need any introduction, for their reputation precedes them: Brooklyn's A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS are back to Reverence Valada for the second consecutive year, ready to entrance minds with their newest material Transfixiation.
After
they graced the stages of SXSW, Hellfest, Roadburn, Desertfest and
countless other events across the globe, French groundbreaking heavy
psych trio MARS RED SKY will deliver the aerial yet loud tones of their new offering Apex III to quench the crowds' thirst of fuzz. Napalm Records' protégés and London's most emblematic stoner rockers STEAK will also join the fun, making the Palm Desert blazing sun and sand a reality in Valada.
Known for being a pioneer event for everything psych and low-tuned in the peninsula, Reverence Festival also invited some of the finest local talents, with lo-fi garage psychsters THE JAPANESE GIRL, heavy fuzzadelic revelation THE BLACK WIZARDS and slow, low tunes addicts EARTH DRIVE.
