(written by Islander)
As you know by now (or damned well should!), No Clean Singing is the chief sponsor of Seattle-based Northwest Terror Fest. Since the first year of the fest in 2017 we’ve been supporting the event in a variety of ways, including our core cadre of writers lending their brains and brawn (but mainly brawn) to the three days of music before and after doors open. We are very proud to be NWTF’s main sponsor again for the next edition of the fest on May 6-8, 2027.
Today NWTF has officially announced the first wave of bands confirmed to perform next year, and you can see those 19 names on the poster above. It’s a hell of a roster, and more great names are yet to come. In addition, NWTF launched Early Bird sales of full-festival passes yesterday at a discounted price. Those passes were first offered only to people who had subscribed to the NWTF e-mail newsletter, and they sold out quickly even though we hadn’t announced any of the bands.
Another round of full-price festival passes goes on sale today at 10 a.m. Pacific Time at this location:
This round of 3-Day passes is being offered at the lowest price you’ll see for the full weekend (aside from the already-gone Early Bird round). Quantities are limited, and once this allotment evaporates the fest will release a second round of 3-Day passes at a higher price.
Now, for a few more details:
Once again, here’s the list of bands that NWTF is announcing today for the 2027 edition of the fest, and you’ll see that some of these are exclusive Washington/Oregon performances for the year:
Anagnorisis

You’ll notice that the fest hasn’t yet revealed the 2027 festival artwork, though you now have a hint about the color scheme. We’ve had a look at the near-final draft, and it’s killer. To be among the first to see it after it’s finished, and to get further announcements about the fest and additional lineup announcements, we encourage you to subscribe to the NWTF newsletter, which you can do here.
And of course we also encourage you to follow NWTF on social media:

We hope to see as many of you as possible in Seattle next May for what is sure to be another tremendous three days of heavy music.
