Should I be nervous?

I probably should not be nervous about going to my first metal festival ever, especially because I’m seeing my favorite band (BMTH) since 2010. I’m excited but I’m finding myself, kinda nervous. I’ve been to actual metal concerts and I’m not really nervous at those events but, I’m finding that when think about Furnace Fest I’m getting anxious. Maybe it’s a fear of big crowds, or being at place I’ve never been to before, or I’m just autistically over-thinking this entire thing. Anyone have any advice or can you guys give me a little run down of how everything works, so I can relax a little about it?

Jumped the gun

I completely let impulse take over because I want to see BMTH play count your blessings. I logistically can't make it and they won't let me cancel. I did layaway for 2 VIP they told me I can transfer to someone else. So if anyone wants to take over the payment I'm happy to get that going. Its 784 total and 1st payment is 191 on June 15th.

New stage/layout

do you guys think the stage setup/fest grounds will be different or higher this year? the headliners are certainly much bigger than past years and I hope they keep the small stages. I also bought a GA ticket and mot VIP because the vip perks haven’t seemed worth it past years, but I’m wondering if theyll change it to be how bigger fests are where one half of the crowd is GA and the other half is VIP

What are the chances of different mosh rules?

With new ownership, how do you think security will be towards moshing and stage dives? Also do you think the shed will have a barricade this year?

Worried my tix will be cancelled

I have never attended anything I needed an access code to and I saw some on Facebook. Used it and purchased two tickets. Now someone is saying that if I did that and the access code doesn’t match the persons name, they’ll be cancelled?
What should I do?

VIP area last year

Somebody was asking for photos of the VIP section last year (I assume it’ll be the same).

How I feel about FF 2026

I attended with a group of friends in 2022 and 2024 and had two of the best weekends of my life. To see what this has turned into is simultaneously embarrassing and heartbreaking.

When work brings you to Birmingham…

The self guided tour was enjoyable. Got to walk around while listening to an older Furnace Fest playlist.

Lodging

Where is a good affordable hotel. We aren’t from the area and don’t want somewhere super sketchy. Any recommendations?

Hey spill the beans!

I’ve seen already some of you have gotten tickets if you had attended last year, can you share the link so some of us can get tickets too? Or is it a specific link for you? How much did you pay total for 1-2 tickets? Thanks in advance and hope I get to go this year as a first timer 🥲

Point of presale?

Wondering if the ticket prices have tiers that once sold, the price goes up? If not, there’s no point in buying the tickets presale right?

“wRiTe An EmAiL 🥴”

such a fuckup. Literally hope end of an era is a thing at this point, they’ve managed to fuck up quite literally everything they’ve worked so hard for over the years. Fuck this new Morgan Wallace MAGA cuck company and the folks that willfully aren’t doing what they should be.

Just write them an email they’re so happy when you do!p

First timer… maybe

From what I can see a lot of people are bummed. I have never been, or even heard of the fest. I think I would like to go! I like a lot of the undercard band for both days. I do not see a camping option on the website. Is that not a thing for this fest? That particularly is one of my favorite parts about a music fest, so kinda interested in that. If not, I am considering an Airbnb outside of Birmingham. Not from the area or familiar. Any tips or suggestions are highly appreciated before tickets go on sale Friday!!
