If you’re in the Philly area, it might be a good idea to block off Saturday, May 6th on your calendar. The Electric Factory in Philadelphia just announced a truly absurd bill to kick off their seasonal outdoor concerts – Mastodon, Opeth, Gojira, Devin Townsend Project, Eagles of Death Metal, and Russian Circles, all on the same stage! EODM are the only ones that stand out as a little unusual in the mix, but a little variety never hurt anyone. This was originally a Gojira/Opeth bill that’s expanded to what’s basically one of the coolest summer fests you could ask for. There’s not much else to say. It’s way too good, and you’d be insane to miss it. Tickets are a cool $50 online. Go get ’em. Here’s what Brann Dailor says about the band’s return to Philly:
