The Maryland Deathfest celebrates its tenth anniversary and takes place from Thursday, May 24 to Sunday, May 27 at Sonar on 407 E. Saratoga St. in Baltimore. Sixty-one bands will perform on three stages over those four days. Up to 1,700 people are expected for the Thursday night show and as many as 4,000 each day are anticipated for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Saratoga Street between Gay St. and Holliday will be completely blocked off. The event will include vendors and food tents.
In other words, if you are a metal head, it's a pretty big deal. Over the last 10 years the Maryland Deathfest has grown into the largest and most well known metal festival in the US and possibly the world.
How did such a large festival begin in downtown Baltimore? Well, think about all the bands you like to listen to. Now imagine bringing a few dozen of those groups together to perform for you and a few (thousand) of your friends. That, in a sense, is exactly what Ryan Taylor and Evan Harting created when they created the Maryland Deathfest in 2003.
