# Event Details - **Event Name**: Ancient Futures Fest: Cardinals Folly, Vanishing Kids, Flying Fuzz, Mind Ox, The Heavils, Gildir - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: Doors 5PM / Show 6PM $18 adv / $20 DOS Ancient Futures 4 Fest! Featuring: Cardinals Folly- "Hailing from Helsinki, Finland and formed in 2007 by Mikko “Count Karnstein” Kääriäinen (Bass, Vocals) and his back-then compatriots, CARDINALS FOLLY has been captained with the spirit of real old school doom metal by Mikko ever since then towards new conquests. In a world where trends come and go and authenticity is becoming depraved, CARDINALS FOLLY still stands as the Last Bastion of Doom, declaring downfall for posers until the end. Since 2022 the US line-up has featured Matthew Hopkins (guitar) and Holden Crow (drums) from Madison, WI. Get heavy or get out of here!" Vanishing Kids- VK is a psychedelic/goth dream doom band formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 2000 by Nikki Drohomyreky (vocals, keys) and Jason Hartman (guitar). They’re known for their dreamy, doom-infused sound blending 70s rock, shoe gaze, and metal, evolving from early dark rock to their acclaimed recent albums like Miracle of Death (2023). After a hiatus for family, they returned to Wisconsin and released new music. They continue to explore themes of life, death, and loss with intricate layers and powerful vocals and maintain a cult following in the doom and psychedelic scenes. Flying Fuzz- A 4-piece band from Madison that specializes in playing doom and classic heavy metal tunes. Mind Ox- is a blue and tangled story. Intoxicating minor guitar melodies (Pete Stress: Skintones) entangle with schizoid lyrical poetry (Buddo: Last Crack, Magic 7, Vanishing Kids) in this band’s enduring catalog. The backbone of the band is the stalwart rhythm team of “Bear” and “Juan-Ton” Terrones. This is the original lineup together for 30 years. Search “Mind Ox: Eldorado” which was recorded/produced in the same rooms as Jane’s, AIC, Chili’s, etc. The Heavils- Unique is not a strong enough word to describe The Heavils sound or The Heavils themselves. The band not only creates and builds their own distinctive guitars, known as Meanies, but also use them when recording and playing live. For the bands sophomore release through Metal Blade Records the band took a heavier approach to the music without losing their highly idiosyncratic style creating an album that will not be lost among countless summer releases. Gildir- Dungeon synth from the profoundly creative and unmistakable Sam Shinners (Ruin Dweller) the secret summoner of synth-soaked subterranean spellcraft! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/madison/ancient-futures-fest-cardinals-folly-vanishing-kids-flying-fuzz-mind-ox-the-heavils-gildir/200029574850749 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, kids, festivals, art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 131 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Madison - **state**: WI - **country**: United States - **location**: The Bur Oak, Madison, Wisconsin USA - **lat**: 43.0969 - **long**: -89.35173 - **full address**: The Bur Oak, Madison, Wisconsin USA, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Ancient Futures Fest: Cardinals Folly, Vanishing Kids, Flying Fuzz, Mind Ox, The Heavils, Gildir - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/5b82e44bf7f416e42a51f1162f894fd55a37aefd9e5bd47ed3e219f2ca3ff39c-rimg-w820-h360-dc000000-gmir?v=1774173127 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Ancient Futures Fest: Cardinals Folly, Vanishing Kids, Flying Fuzz, Mind Ox, The Heavils, Gildir being held? - **A:** Ancient Futures Fest: Cardinals Folly, Vanishing Kids, Flying Fuzz, Mind Ox, The Heavils, Gildir takes place on Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm at The Bur Oak, Madison, Wisconsin USA, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Ancient Futures Fest: Cardinals Folly, Vanishing Kids, Flying Fuzz, Mind Ox, The Heavils, Gildir? - **A:** Ancient Futures Fest: Cardinals Folly, Vanishing Kids, Flying Fuzz, Mind Ox, The Heavils, Gildir is organized by The Bur Oak. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at The Bur Oak's events? - **A:** Attendees have given The Bur Oak a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
