From a Misery Signals’ farewell tour announcement to seeing the extensive lineup for this year’s Rocklahoma and a few live lineup switches, there’s been at least ten more tour and festival updates since last week’s extensive list. The 2024 tour schedule is shaping up nicely, where we can sure count, there will be more as the year unfolds.
01) Killswitch Engage & Slaughter to Prevail to headline New England Metal and Hardcore Fest:
The New England Metal & Hardcore Fest has revealed dates and lineup for the 2024 edition, set to take place on September 21 and 22 at the Worcester Palladium. After a triumphant return last year, this legendary festival promises a stacked lineup including headliners Killswitch Engage celebrating their 25th anniversary and Slaughter to Prevail. Additional acts include Converge, Machine Head, Nails, and many more. Tickets are available at this location.
Scott Lee, founder of the festival comments:
“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.”
KsE singer Jesse Leach adds:
“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 this legendary festival once again. 25 years of Killswitch Engage!”
