New England Metal and Hardcore Festival is Back at the Worcester Palladium for the Second Year in a Row
September 21-22 - New England Metal and Hardcore Festival returns to The Palladium in Worcester, Massacussettes for the second year in a row. After taking a hiatus in 2018, fans were ecstatic last year with the return of New England's most iconic festival with headliners Parkway Drive, Lamb of God, Hatebreed and more. First launched in 1999, the festival has been known to host top tier metal acts such as Megadeth, Manowar, DragonForce, Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, and more icons of the scene. Founder of the festival, Scott Lee says,
“I think this lineup is one of the top five best in the festival’s history… It will appeal to all fans of all genres of extreme music.”
The two day extravaganza will be headlined by New England Metal and hardcore festival legends Hatebreed, who will be playing a special 25th anniversary show the first night of the event. The second night will be headlined by Russian deathcore icons Slaughter to Prevail. Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach says,
“The place where it all began for us was The Worcester Palladium our first show and our first Metal Festival… Here we are, 25 years later, returning to the same venue to perform a unique set to celebrate our legacy as a band. We are honored and excited to be a part of the legendary festival once again. 25 years of Killswitch Engage!”
