“We’re beyond excited to share this first wave of artist announcements and are thrilled to welcome 90 total bands on four stages in one, if not the, most unique venues on the planet, organizers stated. “To us, Furnace Fest isn’t a festival. This is a family reunion of the most epic kind.”
As of now, this marks the band’s first live performance since Chad Gilbert had to undergo an emergency surgery from having pheochromocytoma, a very rare form of cancer found on the adrenal glands, which are above the kidneys. Shortly before the band had hit the road with Less Than Jake late last year.
The Joy Formidable released their latest LP Into The Blue in September.
