The New England Metal & Hardcore Fest is back with a bang, as Bleeding Through, END, Overcast, and Terror have been added to the lineup for this year’s event. Taking place on September 21 and 22 at the legendary Palladium in Worcester, MA, this year’s festival promises to be one for the books.
The festival, which first launched back in 1999, has been a staple in the metal and hardcore scene, featuring top-tier acts throughout the years. After a brief hiatus, the festival returned in 2023 with a lineup that included Parkway Drive, Lamb of God, and Hatebreed, to much fanfare.
This year’s lineup is nothing short of spectacular, with every band you’d want to see at a metal and hardcore festival included. Killswitch Engage will be playing a special 25th-anniversary show and will headline the first night, while Slaughter to Prevail will headline the second night.
Year Of the Knife will also be making their much-anticipated return to the stage after a devastating van accident in 2023. Today, the festival added four more blockbuster bands to an already stacked lineup, including Bleeding Through, END, Overcast, and Terror.
With a lineup that includes bands like Machine Head, Suicide Silence, and Converge, the New England Metal & Hardcore Fest is shaping up to be a “not to be missed” event for metal and hardcore fans. Tickets are sure to sell out fast, so be sure to grab yours soon for a weekend of headbanging and moshing at the Palladium in Worcester.
