NEW ENGLAND METAL & HARDCORE FEST ADDS FOUR MORE BANDS TO THE BILL

BLEEDING THROUGH, END, OVERCAST, + TERROR TO APPEAR!

THIS YEAR’S EVENT SET FOR SEPTEMBER 21 + 22

LEGENDARY FESTIVAL RETURNED TO THE WORCESTER PALLADIUM LAST YEAR

THIS YEAR’S LINEUP INCLUDES KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, CONVERGE, MACHINE HEAD, NAILS, + MANY MORE

New England Metal & Hardcore Fest launched back in 1999 and took place at the famed Palladium in Worcester through 2018. It was often held over two or three days, with multiple stages and top-tier acts like Megadeth, Manowar, DragonForce, Opeth, Between the Buried & Me, Meshuggah, Killswitch Engage, Suicidal Tendencies, Anthrax, and more appearing through the years. It was always a “who’s who” of the metal and hardcore scene and was a “not to be missed” event each Spring.

It took a brief break after 2018 but returned to much fanfare in 2023 with Parkway Drive, Lamb of God, Hatebreed, and more.

The 2024 edition has been announced and the lineup is stacked. It features literally every single band you’d want to see at a metal and hardcore festival.

The two-day extravaganza will take place on September 21 and 22 at the Palladium. NEM&HCF faves Killswitch Engage will be playing a special 25th anniversary show and will headline the first night. Slaughter to Prevail will headline the second night.

Year Of the Knife announced their much-anticipated return to the stage after enduring a devastating van accident in 2023.

Today, the event added four more blockbuster bands to a lineup that is already pretty much “CANNOT MISS!”

Bleeding Through (9/21)
END (9/21)
