After a long search the Maryland Deathfest will be returning to the property formerly known as Sonar, and will be at least doubling the amount of outside space. During the venue search, it was brought to the organizers attention that the new owners of the property were willing to collaborate. Previous owners of the property closed it’s doors this past summer sending festival organizers seeking a new venue.
There will be two outside stages plus the stage inside as well as the addition of a second inside stage at Baltimore Soundstage, which is a 1/2 mile walk away from the former Sonar (at 124 Market Place), and will be used from Friday-Sunday. This will be a smaller show without a barricade that will feature mostly hardcore and punk bands, and it will be scheduled in a way that should not conflict with anything going on at the former Sonar compound.
