The New England Metal & Hardcore Fest has announced its 2024 lineup, headlined by Killswitch Engage and Slaughter to Prevail.

The two-day gathering is set for the weekend of September 21st and 22nd and will be held at The Palladium Outdoors in Worcester, Massachusetts. Tickets and VIP passes are available via the festival’s website. If the fest sells out, fans can look for tickets via StubHub, where your purchase is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.

The rest of the bill is stacked and includes notable names such as Suicidal Tendencies, Converge, Machine Head, As I Lay Dying, Overkill, Nails, Better Lovers, and more.

“I think this lineup is one of the top five best in the festival’s history,” said festival founder Scott Lee via a press release. “It will appeal to all fans of all genres of extreme music.”

The first New England Metal & Hardcore Fest was held in 1999 and was an annual event up until 2018. After a few years off, the fest returned to The Palladium in Worcester last year. The festival and its venue are of particular importance to one of the 2024 headliners, Killswitch Engage, who are celebrating their 25th anniversary.

“The place where it all began for us was The Worcester Palladium our first show and our first Metal Festival,” said KsE frontman Jesse Leach. “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 this legendary festival once again.”
