Metal venues phoenix

Local rock powerhouse KUPD-FM (97.9) has announced the lineup for UFEST 2025. And as expected, it’s a very heavy bill.

The annual heavy metal music festival returns to Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix on Saturday, May 3, with A Day to Remember, Seether, We Came As Romans, Mammoth WVH, Dorothy, Point North and The Funeral Portrait.

A Day to Remember brings a slew of rock-radio hits to the table, including “Paranoia,” “Bullfight,” “Naivety,” “Same About You,” “Resentment,” “Everything We Need,” “Re-entry” and last year’s mainstream-rock smash, “Feedback.”

The other name in big type on the bill is Seether.

"Judas Mind," the first single release from Seether's latest album, "The Surface Seems So Far," became their fourth consecutive release to top the Billboard mainstream rock charts, bringing their total of chart-topping entries on that chart to 10, stretching back to 2005's "Remedy."
