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.

DarkLord 8bit 1.jpg

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.
