Day 1 Update: Eyehategod & Sweet Cobra Confirmed!

With Huntsmen opening the evening, this night exemplifies ST’s commitment to not only highlighting local, regional and national talent on the same stage but also dynamic pairing – each night’s billing intentionally highlights each group’s unique sonic characteristics.

Mizmor & Thou will perform their collaboration album Myopia – a North America exclusive – to close Night 3. Myopia was written and recorded in secret, released in April via Gilead Media. Prior to, Mizmor will perform a set featuring material from its 2019 critically acclaimed LP Cairn. This is Mizmor‘s first performance in Chicago. Local thrash metal super group Ready for Death open the evening with material from their upcoming debut LP and, Heather Gabel (Hide) will DJ throughout the evening.

Beyond music there’s a number of special ST collaborations occurring around town to enjoy. We’ll have limited edition Scorched Tundra t-shirts available starting Night 1, along with shirts from Tundra’s past.
