What is MAGMA FEST (MAGMA-Ween) by Hollow Earth Radio?

Updated

MAGMA FEST is Hollow Earth Radio's annual music celebration, and for 2026 it has been renamed MAGMA-Ween because it will be held on Halloween at The Black Lodge in Eastlake. The station has announced both the festival dates and the full lineup of performances. If you follow Seattle community radio, underground music, or Halloween events in the city, this is the station's flagship live event of the year.

What the announcement says

From the KHUH-LP homepage news section:

  • Event: MAGMA FEST, Hollow Earth Radio's annual music celebration
  • Year: 2026
  • New name: MAGMA-Ween
  • Date: Halloween
  • Venue: The Black Lodge, located in Eastlake (Seattle)
  • Status: Dates and full lineup of performances have been announced

The station describes the Halloween timing as a first for the festival, which is why the event has been rebranded for this edition.

How to get the full lineup and updates

The homepage announcement is a summary and points to a longer post ("Read More"). To get the complete lineup, set times, and any ticketing or entry information, follow that link from the KHUH-LP site rather than relying on the homepage excerpt, which does not list individual performers.

You can also check the station's News section, where MAGMA FEST coverage sits alongside other Hollow Earth Radio stories, and the On the Air area, which currently carries a "MagmaFest 2026 Show Promo" in its playlist — a sign the station is promoting the event through its broadcast schedule as well.

Why it matters beyond the festival

Hollow Earth Radio is a Seattle community radio station broadcasting music, arts, and culture. MAGMA FEST is its annual flagship gathering, so the move to Halloween and a named venue reflects the station's role as a live cultural hub, not just a broadcast outlet. If you're interested in the Seattle independent music scene, the festival is one of the station's main in-person touchpoints of the year.

What is not yet confirmed here

The available station material does not specify ticket prices, age restrictions, door times, or how to purchase entry. It also does not list the individual artists in the lineup on the homepage. For those specifics, use the "Read More" link on the MAGMA FEST announcement or the station's News page.
