Pelagic Records are bringing their artist-celebrating event, Pelagic Fest, back to the Dutch town of Maastricht on August 23-24, having relocated from Berlin for 2024. Co-sponsored by Prog and Metal Hammer and headlined by genre-bending prog maverick Ihsahn and postrock heavyweights This Will Destroy You, the event’s organisers have curated an impressive 20-band bill.
“The line-up showcases the breadth of our roster,” says label founder Robin Staps, also of The Ocean. “From very quiet, peaceful music, like Hungarian post-rock band Törzs, to the absolute aural ferocity of Bear, it has something for everyone who’s into post-rock, prog, and heavy-duty psychedelic music.”
He adds, “Emotionally, it’s covering a lot of territory. Walking between the rooms, you will get to see a lot of very different but interconnected artists.”
