A UK-exclusive performance for 2024, Misþyrming will headline the second stage of the black metal festival. Fortress Festival has also unveiled the event poster for which the illustration was created by Hester Aspland.

Misþyrming joins a stellar lineup of special bands and exclusive shows. Wolves in the Throne Room will perform a 2024 UK exclusive Two Hunters set (the first time the iconic album will be performed live in the UK).

The highly-regarded Portuguese act Gaerea will also visit the North Yorkshire shores.

It will be a return to the UK with an exclusive show from German black metallers Ultha, a UK-exclusive set from Bavarian-based Waldgeflüster, a UK-exclusive set from Sweden’s Dödsrit, UK black metal act Blood Countess, the solo music project of Norwegian metal multi-instrumentalist Kathrine Shepard.
