Memorial Day Thunderfest is coming in loud and fast, ready to turn your Monday night into a full-on rock onslaught at Come and Take It Live.

Bishop Studios is dialing everything up to 11 for this all-ages blowout. Doors crack open at 7:00 pm, and from the first riff to the last crash of cymbals, it’s built to feel like a classic heavy rock festival crammed into one relentless night.

• Edge of Destiny (8:00 pm) – Female-fronted hard rock/metal with big, soaring choruses and high-energy stage presence. They’re built for that “fist in the air, shout every word” kind of set.
• Texas Microphone Massacre (9:00 pm) – An industrial rock experience that leans into chaos and atmosphere. Expect pounding beats, heavy riffs, and a vibe that feels like a cinematic, full-sensory overload.
• Stonebreed (10:00 pm) – Rolling in from Los Angeles with high-octane, arena-ready hard rock. Their sound blends southern metal grit with big, old-school rock swagger, tailor-made for loud crowds and sing-along hooks.
• Rebel Angels (11:00 pm) – Texas hard rock with straight-up rock ’n’ roll attitude. Big riffs, gritty vocals, and a live punch that keeps the energy redlined to the very end.

This Thunderfest isn’t just another gig; it’s packed with moments designed to make the night feel special. Stonebreed’s return promises to be a “remember this one” set for fans who’ve been waiting to see them back in Austin. On top of that, Rebel Angels will be throwing down an onstage birthday celebration for guitarist Gabe, so expect the crowd to crank the volume and the band to feed off that extra charge in the room.

The event keeps things accessible with an all-ages policy (with a parent and ID), making it a perfect pick for anyone looking to introduce younger rock fans to the thrill of a real, loud, live show. Think: booming sound system, guitars turned way up, sweaty singalongs, and that communal “we were all there” feeling by the final encore.

If you want to lock in tickets with a deal, there’s a promo discount code available via Laylo—just follow the link provided by the organizers to get a texted code before purchasing online. Serious fans can also pre-game the night by diving into the official Spotify playlist, loaded with tracks from the bands so you can show up already knowing the choruses you’ll be shouting back at the stage.

With four bands, zero filler, and a schedule that keeps the energy climbing hour by hour, Memorial Day Thunderfest is set up as a proper Austin-style throwdown. Come early, roll in with your crew, warm up your voice, and be ready to leave with your ears ringing and your heart full.

Memorial Day Thunderfest: one night, one stage, and a whole lot of thunder. See you in the pit.
