The mighty sunn O))) have been confirmed as headliners for the 2015 version of the Temples Festival in Bristol, England. The Seattle drone boys recently collaborated with cult crooner Scott Walker on the soon-to-be-released album Soused, which will drop October 21 via 4AD. No word on whether the silky-voiced Mr. Walker will also don a heavy cloak and jam out with sunn O))) on this one, but hey, who are we as a species without DREAMS.
Anyway, over the course of the weekend of May 29-31, bands like Goatsnake, Converge, Goatwhore, Torche, Between the Buried and Me, and many many more will take over Motion, an old Victorian warehouse that’s now a skatepark/music venue. (The festival name comes from the fact that the venue’s Bristolian neighborhood is called the Temples Quarter.) Converge will headline the Main Stage on May 29 and sunn O))) will headline the Main Stage on May 30. Loads of other bands will be announced but you can check out the acts confirmed so far and learn more about the festival here.
