Furnace Fest had said that its 2024 edition would mark the “end of an era” for the hardcore/metalcore/post-hardcore/emo/etc festival but that it might return in a different form in the future, but it looks like they’re actually keeping it going the way it’s been going since the festival’s 2021 return. They just revealed that Furnace Fest will return to its usual home of Birmingham, Alabama’s Sloss Furnaces from October 3-5, 2025, and the announcement is tagged #noendofanera. It reads in full:
Furnace Fest family: we’re not crying; you’re crying! We love you forever, and all four million fifteen thousand seven hundred and fifty-two seconds since October 6th have been pure misery!
For those of you who got married, engaged, flew around the world (het spijt me, mijn Nederlandse gozers!), spent too much magic credit card money, and everyone else thinking you’d never see Sloss Furnaces together again, we apologize in advance for finding a way to reunite—for the sake of the children!
Artist and agent friends, we can hardly believe we’re saying this. Is anyone doing anything around October 3rd – 5th, 2025???

Are those hashtags teasing parts of the 2025 lineup? We know Chiodos are playing All’s Well That Ends Well in full for its 20th anniversary on tour next year, and #adventofamiracle could be teasing a Strongarm reunion?? Stay tuned to find out.
