<nowiki>*</nowiki> In some early years this beer was listed as ''Oak Aged Dark Lord'', however it was in fact aged in bourbon barrels. For consistency it is listed it as Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Lord.

Note: Starting in 2019 bottle count numbers were rounded off to the nearest 50. Bottle count numbers from 2020 on are likely not completely accurate. They appear to be estimates, with a significant number of bottles showing the same number. Actual bottle counts are higher than the provided numbers.

=== Notes ===

This year retained the same three ticket tiers as 2024. The standard level no longer included a scratch off to get the opportunity to buy the deluxe exclusive variant. This year it was announced that Brandy Vanilla Dark Lord would be one of the randomized variants you can get with your package, while Deluxe is guaranteed a bottle.

=== Sales ===

Deluxe Tickets were again in high demand, with all tickets in carts just minutes after ticket sales begun. However, they did not fully sell out for a couple hours as carts expired and tickets were released. Group A tickets sold out late in the evening, sometime after 10:00pm. Group B tickets sold out on or before April 12th. Group C, Group D and GA tickets were still available the morning of the festival.

<nowiki>*</nowiki> In some early years this beer was listed as ''Oak Aged Dark Lord'', however it was in fact aged in bourbon barrels. For consistency it is listed it as Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Lord.

Note: Starting in 2019 bottle count numbers were rounded off to the nearest 50. Bottle count numbers from 2020 on are likely not completely accurate. They appear to be estimates, with a significant number of bottles showing the same number. Actual bottle counts are higher than the provided numbers.

Dark Lord Day 2019

2025-06-13T14:11:22Z

Bbeach: /* Wristband Designs */

[[File:DarkLord 8bit 1.jpg|right|400px]]
'''Date:''' May 18, 2019

== Overview ==

Dark Lord Day 2019 was held on Saturday May 18. The date was announced on December 5th, 2018. Website was updated and ticket sales date was announced on Tuesday, January 15th. Band lineup was announced March 22nd, with an update to the lineup on April 16th with the addition of Atlas Moth and Sacred Reich. On May 11th, variants were announced along with the festival map. On May 16th, variant tap times were announced.

This year featured the same RFID wristband ticket system as in 2018.

In the morning the 72oz limit was again being strictly enforced with some variation depending on who was checking your bag. The rules seemed to relax a bit as the day went on.

Shortly after 3:00pm heavy thunderstorms rolled in. Event staff shut down much of the event; bands stopped performing, beer stopped pouring, food stopped being sold, and attendees were asked to evacuate the tents (for fear of lightning strikes). Those who did were understandably upset at being out in the rain without any music or beer, although most refused to leave the large tent. Guests were also not permitted to enter the event during this time. Bottle pickups for Group D continued during the storm. Almost 2 hours later around 4:30 or 5:00pm the festival resumed as normal. After the storm passed the crowd had thinned somewhat as many people left. Due to the delay, High on Fire's set was cut short, and they were forced to end just before their encore.

=== Sales ===

This year retained the same three ticket tiers as 2024. The standard level no longer included a scratch off to get the opportunity to buy the deluxe exclusive variant. This year it was announced that Brandy Vanilla Dark Lord would be one of the randomized variants you can get with your package, while Deluxe is guaranteed a bottle.

Deluxe Tickets were again in high demand, with all tickets in carts just minutes after ticket sales begun. However, they did not fully sell out for a couple hours as carts expired and tickets were released. Group A tickets sold out late in the evening, sometime after 10:00pm. Group B tickets sold out on or before April 12th. Group C, Group D and GA tickets were still available the morning of the festival.
