Chicago’s industrial-themed Cold Waves festival will return for a seventh installment this September, joined not just by the Los Angeles edition that debuted last year, but a New York City variation as well — with all three of the multi-day events headlined by Skinny Puppy spinoff ohGr.
First up is Cold Waves NY, running Sept. 13 to 15, which also features Meat Beat Manifesto, Frontline Assembly, Lead Into Gold and more. The following weekend is Cold Waves VII in Chicago, with the biggest lineup, featuring those aforementioned acts as well as Die Krupps, Chemlab and more. And then, on the next weekend, Cold Waves LA sees a lineup topped by OhGr and Frontline Assembly.
Tickets for all three go on sale at 10 a.m. local time on Friday. More information at coldwaves.net.
