Testament and Skindred lead the first bands to the Dong anniversary!
15.01. 2020
Ladies and gentlemen,
You have been asking, and we'll tell you – who is going to play at the 2020 Dong?
The first sweep of bands consists of true highlights of the Dong history plus a newcomer from Africa - and is lead by no one less than the Bay Area titans Testament! The thrash icons, who happen to be nothing shy of an incredible metal all-stars quintet (Savatage, Death, Iced Earth, Strapping Young Lad etc), just finished the work on their new album and in July will show you how to climb that hill.
Part of the climbing expedition are also Skindred. After their unbelievable show in 2018, or rather what you guys and the band made it, we knew, we couldn't wait too long to get the Welsh party grenades back. And since this feeling was entirely mutual among Benji & Co, the band's confirmation did not take long. :)
From Wales to Africa: Myrath from Tunisia will be at the Dong! We are proud as Punch to present to you the hottest stuff oriental prog metal has to offer.
At the 20th Dong Open Air, our “house band” has to be there: Skyclad, the originators of folk metal from Newcastle, return to the Dong hill after three long years of painful absence – in their own 30th anniversary year, which they will be celebrating with a special show!
And last but not least, we present to you the very best of the Dong hood: Tyler Leads are among the best live acts, the local scene has to offer. Get ready for an energetic serving of rock!
There will be more soon, and starting now, there are profiles of all bands available, of course always including a music video recommendation – definitely take the time to check out Myrath!
The tickets for these bands will be available from Sunday, 12 noon!
All excited,
your Dong Team
