Successfully resurrected last year as a 3-day event, Milwaukee Metal Festival has now added 11 more bands and daily schedules for their highly anticipated 2024 edition. The festival has now welcomed Testament, Hammerfall, a Soilent Green reunion show, Paleface Swiss, Exhumed, It Dies Today, Errors Of Humanity, Casket Robbery, Hellwitch, Belushi Speed Ball and Illusion of Fate.
Co-organizer and Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta comments on the new additions, "The spirit of the original fest is alive, well and growing. People are traveling from all over the world to join us and the reaction to each line-up addition keeps getting better. Now, with thrash legends Testament who have been our most requested band, power metal legends Hammerfall, Soilent Green reuniting, the new generation’s heaviest in Paleface Swiss, regional faves Casket Robbery and true old schoolers like Hellwitch, we are beyond stoked! Plus, you know Belushi Speedball & others will bring the party HARD. See you in Milwaukee next May!"
