New England Metal Festival Announce 2025 Lineup
It’s that time again for the biggest metal festival in New England, and this time it’s bigger and louder than ever!
The New England Metal & Hardcore Festival will be held at The Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts, on September 20, 2025. The lineup has officially been announced, with 24 bands performing. There is no doubt that this is a festival for every metal fan!
The lineup features some big names, including Lorna Shore, Cannibal Corpse, and The Black Dahlia Murder. If that isn’t a metalhead’s dream, I don’t know what is! I know I almost lost it when I read The Black Dahlia Murder!
There are so many great bands performing! So make sure to check out the poster for the full lineup!
This year’s festival will only last one day, but the founder, Scott Lee, made sure not to cut any corners. That was definitely proven with this year’s wicked lineup!
The festival will also feature a once-in-a-lifetime set from Bury Your Dead. This festival date will mark the band’s last show ever! The band formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2001. So it’s only fitting that their last show is performed at the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival.
This set also features the original band lineup: Matt Bruso, Mark Costello, Brendan ‘Slim’ MacDonald, and Aaron ‘Bubble’ Patrick. This is a set you don’t want to miss! So make sure you grab your tickets before they sell out!
General Admission and VIP tickets are still available on the festival’s website. You can also check out lodging information as well as surrounding restaurants! Make sure to follow the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival on Instagram for any updates!
