Pelagic Records will celebrate their 15th Anniversary at Pelagic Fest over the 24-25 August 2024. Held in Maastricht inthe Netherlands, the festival will host Pelagic Records all-stars and special guests.
“We’re excited to bring Pelagic Fest back this year,” Robin Staps, the founder of Pelagic Records, told MetalTalk. “I have been looking for the right venue for this in Berlin for years and simply had to accept that it doesn’t exist.”
Staps and his team have, in recognition of the diversity of music and creativity at the heart of Pelagic Records, arranged the event so there are no clashes. The lineup includes: The Ocean, Ihsahn, And So I Watch You From Afar, Oh Hiroshima, A Swarm Of The Sun, Psychonaut, Year Of No Light, LLNN, Arms And Sleepers, Thot, Lost In Kiev, EF, Hippotraktor, Briqueville, Årabrot, Karin Park, Spurv, Glassing, Bipolar Architecture, NYOS, Love Sex Machine, Playgrounded, WuW and Jegong.

Following a break of six years, Pelagic Fest has moved to Maastricht in the Netherlands and will be hosted by the Muziekgieterij venue.
“Muziekgieterij is an amazing well-wrought place,” Staps said, “catering to the needs of both artists and audience. A placethat was built to be a venue, planned by acoustic architects and at the same time, offers a nice environment to hang out, chat, browse through vinyl distro boxes and chill between the performances.
“While we’re beyond stoked that we’ve managed to put this lineup together, it goes without saying that, sadly, not every Pelagic artist can play this year… but that leaves something to look forward to for the coming years.”
With the remaining weekend tickets selling fast, Pelagic Fest have also announced a release of single day tickets as economical and logistical alternatives in order to enable even more fans to attend the return of this momentous celebration of heavy music.
