The long-running-but-sporadically-held metal festival Tidal Wave has called it quits. In a Facebook post today, organizers of the free two-day event cited finances as the reason: “… now a ‘free’ concert in san francisco is 5 grand or more. It was against all oddz that we pulled it off for as long as we did.”
The event, which was typically held in the summer at McLaren Park’s Jerry Garcia Amphitheater, held its thirteenth iteration in 2012. Among the bands that have played the festival over the years are Saviours, Slough Feg, and Ghoul. The entire concert was volunteer-run and paid for by donations.
