Burning Portland, an amazing two-day fest of crust/hardcore/ grind/metal bands is going down Friday, March 16, and Saturday, March 17, at the Satyricon, 125 NW Sixth Ave, in Portland. Both shows start at 5 pm, it’s $10 for each day or $18 for both, and it’s all ages (bar w/ID).

Here’s the tentative lineup:

FRIDAY
Hellshock (Portland)

Massgrave (Vancouver, BC)

Limb from Limb (Vancouver, BC)

Sanctum (Seattle)

Kakistocracy (Asheville, North Carolina)

Appalachian Terror Unit (Huntington, West Virginia)

Happy Bastards (Eugene, Oregon)

Blood of Christian Children (Portland/NYC)

Squalora (Portland)

SATURDAY
Tragedy (Portland)

Iskra (Victoria, BC)

Warcry (Portland)

Alternate System (Garden Grove, California)

Mala Sangre (El Monte, California)

Against Empire (Los Angeles)

Gigantes (Portland)

Book of Belial (Portland)

Warcorpse (Portland)

The lineup has been changing, so I’ll keep updating on Line Out as I learn more, and, of course, post a reminder as the date gets nearer. (Originally, Orange County grindcore gods Phobia and SF thrashers Voetsek were slated to play, which would’ve been awesome, but, alas, they both dropped out.) And, according to the shows organizers in a recent post on Profane Existence’s message board:

It’s also rumored that an older Portland band may be reuniting to play as well, but that is still up in the air. Anyways, get pumped!

Get pumped, indeed.
