Excision’s Thunderdome set to return to Tacoma Dome in February

From February 6-8, Excision returns to the Tacoma Dome for the sixth installment of The Thunderdome. Known for its bone-crushing sound systems and arguably the most advanced laser production in the world, this year’s three-day takeover is shaping up to be the heaviest yet.

Whether you’re a local “headbanger” or traveling from across the country, here is everything you need to know!

The lineup:

We’re so excited to see ATLiens, Sullivan King, and Ganja White Night returning, and for the debut of Excision b2b Kai Wachi! We recommend getting a 3-day pass, but every night is going to be amazing. Single day tickets are available, although we think the most stacked day will be Saturday!

Keep in mind this is the same weekend as the Superbowl, so plan ahead. Excision never disappoints with Thunderdome, and you can expect massive production with lasers, pyro, huge LED screens, and a jaw-dropping visual experience!
