“This will be a special one,” says Jamey Jasta. “Our biggest home state show ever, with a ton of awesome bands and it’s [guitarist] Wayne’s 50th birthday! This is a throwback to the old hardcore/metal matinees we used to play in the mid ’90s. It will be a yearly event going forward as we’ll also be bringing back the March Metal Meltdown Festival to NJ in 2025. Can’t wait to see everyone there!”

“30 Years! What a milestone and nothing but gratitude for the fans all over the world for making it possible,” says guitarist Frank Novinec. “We look forward to seeing you all in 2024. Most importantly in CT!”
