Substance Festival to Take Place in Los Angeles, San Antonio, and San Francisco This Autumn

This autumn, Substance Festival returns for an expanded five-night run across three cities, with each night featuring a mix of dark rock, high-octane industrial, pulsating electronica, and cutting-edge post-punk and darkwave from an impressive lineup of artists.

San Antonio kicks off the festivities at The Paper Tiger on Friday, October 25, and Saturday, October 26, with performances from Black Marble, Sacred Skin, XTR Human, Madeline Goldstein, Topographies, Secret Attraction, Rosegarden Funeral Party, and many more.

The celebration continues over Halloween weekend in San Francisco at The Great American Music Hall, featuring SRSQ, Black Marble, King Woman, Houses of Heaven, Kontravoid, and other favorites.

The final leg of the festival takes place on Saturday, November 2, at The Belasco in Los Angeles. Revelers will be treated to an eclectic mix of global talent, including Cold Cave, Ultra Sunn, Llora, Ritual Howls, Sleek Teeth, and numerous other incredible acts.

Pre-sales for San Francisco and Los Angeles began on June 26th. These limited-capacity events are expected to sell out quickly, so secure your tickets soon.
