August Burns Red finished their Rescue & Restore 10 year anniversary tour with their annual Christmas Burns Red festival, held in their hometown of Lancaster, PA. Christmas Burns Red is a two day show with different bands and setlists each night! I was able to catch night two of this event and it was definitely an astonishing finale. August Burns Red had support from Kaonashi, Signs of the Swarm, Galactic Empire, Kublai Khan TX, and Between the Buried and Me. Between catchy riffs, brutal growls, mic spinning, and over 3000 people jumping to “White Washed,” it was definitely a night to remember!

Anyway, continue reading below for more photos of August Burns Red and my full review of the show. Be sure to check out August Burns Red’s website for music, videos, news, and tickets for all upcoming tour dates. All images copyright and courtesy of John Krebs.

Virginia’s 4th annual Blue Ridge Rock Festival will be taking place this year September 9-12 at the Blue Ridge Amphitheater in Danville, VA. Once again, the festival organizers have gone out of their way to provide an entirely “fan-driven” artist lineup. This musical event will be one of the best of the year!

Headliners for this year’s Blue Ridge Rock Festival include Rob Zombie, Rise Against, Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch, Megadeth, Papa Roach, and Shinedown. I’m personally looking most forward to performances by Gojira, Lamb of God, Mastodon, and Anthrax. View full line-up and/or purchase tickets at blueridgerockfest.com.
