Memorial Day weekend in Baltimore doesn’t ease into anything, and Maryland Deathfest is a big reason why. Taking over multiple venues across the city May 21–24, including Baltimore Soundstage, Power Plant Live, Nevermore Hall, Market Place, and Angel’s Rock Bar, MDF once again brings together a stacked lineup. This year features heavy hitters like Napalm Death, Kreator, Dying Fetus, Pig Destroyer, Death Angel, and Rotting Christ, along with a deep roster of bands spanning death metal, grindcore, doom, and everything in between. It’s loud, it’s nonstop, and it pulls fans from all over—four days, multiple stages, and more bands than you can realistically catch in one weekend.
