In the organizer's words:

Special Guests: THE NOCTURNAL AFFAIR + SERPENTS

Drowning Pool, a name engraved in the scores of modern rock history, roar back into the spotlight with thunderous energy and uncompromising power. The band's unmistakable sound, synonymous with raw energy and uncompromising attitude, returns to captivate audiences once again. Drowning Pool are known for their cult anthem "Bodies" and need no introduction. This breakthrough single helped them gain international recognition and left an indelible mark on the NuMetal landscape. The song's relentless energy and defiant spirit resonated with an entire generation and became an anthem for moshers, metalheads and fans of electrifying live performances. Shouter Ryan McCombs played a crucial role in the band's development, joining them after the tragic loss of much-loved frontman Dave Williams. His powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence breathed new life into Drowning Pool and cemented their status as NuMetal titans. Songs like "37 Stitches!", "Feel Like I Do" and "Turn So Cold" catapulted them to new heights and secured them a place among the heavyweights of the genre. But Drowning Pool's story isn't just about music; it's a testament to lasting friendships and a shared passion for their craft. Ryan's return to the band in 2023 after twelve years apart marks a reunion of kindred spirits, a return to the roots of their musical journey. Their path has generally not been without challenges. "Bodies" was misunderstood and controversial, the lyrics were taken out of context. "Bodies" nevertheless remains a timeless anthem, not just for Drowning Pool, but for metal culture as a whole. Their legacy lives on and inspires new generations of fans. Drowning Pool's return is a testament to the enduring power of their music and a reminder that their uncompromising spirit continues to resonate worldwide. The band made a triumphant comeback in 2023, and with the announcement of a new album this year, the band's nearly 30-year history continues powerfully. Drowning Pool are firmly in control of their present and future and have no plans to slow down or slow down.
