It is now late April and many of the annual “furnies” are still wondering if their yearly mecca will still he held this year. For months the Furnace Fest Community Facebook group has been swirling with the same questions every day for month, Is the fest still happening? When are the dates? Is the Chariot confirmed? 

Organizers have kept most information close to the team, periodically while popping in the group to inform fans that the Birmingham, AL-based metal and hardcore festival is still on.

However, as states above very little information has been given, until this afternoon it seems. In replying to yet another umpteenth millionth inquiry from a group member, Workplay/Furnace Fest’s Allena Beall replied sharing some positive information.

In her short response she once again reiterated that test festival is still on and the newly reveal information being that Monster Energy is one of the main sponsors of Furnace Fest 2026 and has it on their calendar of events.

Beall even requests other current and former members of the organizer team to hop in the group and to support her claims that everything will be in place for an event in 2026.

However, other than this brief mention, there is no official word from Furnace Fest or Monster Energy at this time. Additionally also no confirmed dates, acts, or even confirmed location.
