Pretty weak lineup compared to what it has been really.

anonymous 12/13/2021 10:40:15 AM

Mask and vax req?

anonymous 12/13/2021 10:41:44 AM

I miss Midwest Blood fest more.

anonymous 12/13/2021 10:42:03 AM

Congrats to that douchey poster evil_hero who finally has the most comments on news articles. Maybe now he will stop his stupid double posts on every single article

anonymous 12/13/2021 10:43:05 AM

I hope that rapist band Dying Wish gets added on. We need one band to get canceled at least

anonymous 12/13/2021 10:46:01 AM

MH Chaos and Sunami are f*cking awful bands

anonymous 12/13/2021 10:50:57 AM

lambgoat commenters are stoked

anonymous 12/13/2021 10:56:18 AM

White people are stoked

anonymous 12/13/2021 10:58:04 AM

a lot of made up band names on this list and lol at american head charge trying to hide all the way down there on this list like we won't notice

anonymous 12/13/2021 11:14:42 AM

But is Bury Your Dead a late addition

anonymous 12/13/2021 11:17:33 AM

Why do they keep scheduling these things knowing it will just get cancelled thanks to antivaxxers??

anonymous 12/13/2021 11:19:58 AM

I thought the "abolish white hardcore" shirts were super cringe when I first saw them but after seeing this line up I think they are onto something.

anonymous 12/13/2021 11:22:37 AM

Todd Jones here. Long story short, but management from this tour begged NAILS to be a special guest (secret "Killing Floor" set). We wanted to test their dedication to the cause, so we told them to track down Voivod's Away and take a photo of him holding NAILS' 2013 classic ABANDON ALL LIFE in LP form while donning an ultra-morose and darkly-perverse leather killing hide. Homeboys went into some spiel about how they didn't have the resources to make that happen and how the request was "not normal", so we put on the aviators and latered those posers for eternity. They will never be one of us.

anonymous 12/13/2021 11:42:05 AM

YOTK again?!?!?!?! i think for every band there should be a roman vote; if there's more thumbs down than up the band doesn't play.

anonymous 12/13/2021 11:46:08 AM

No one has ever said "wow can't wait to see Year Of The Knife"

anonymous 12/13/2021 12:41:18 PM

ZZZZZZZ same old bands. Enough with Year Of The Knife & Restraining Order. LOL @ King Nine playing California & Kentucky but not NYC or even their hometown LI. Oh wait I know why - DMS banned King Nine from playing NYC & LI after they found out King Nine's singer Dan Seely's girlfriend was talking s hit about Toby Morse from H20 & Dan was cool with it otherwise why hasn't King Nine played LI & NYC yet? No one in LI & NYC wants to book them? I see the rapist Regulate drummer is playing this with No Pressure. These fests just have to have him play SMH. I'm shocked there's no Ekulu or Combust.

anonymous 12/13/2021 12:42:58 PM

King Nine was announced as an opener or Madball @ Irving Plaza in NYC but they didn't play.

anonymous 12/13/2021 12:49:14 PM

Enough with Koyo & that other sh it band Gel, too. What's next? A band named Mousse? Pomade?

anonymous 12/13/2021 12:50:05 PM

LGBT fest?

anonymous 12/13/2021 12:51:04 PM

Only one band from Kentucky (Inclination who are as boring as their name sounds.)

anonymous 12/13/2021 12:55:27 PM

LGBT fest? >>> So witty. I think it stands for Life Death Brotherhood which is a really stupid name as they're not bikers or some sh it. Even stupider considering a girl co-books it. Kentucky is such a shi t state.

anonymous 12/13/2021 12:56:22 PM

THE NAILSMOBILE WILL NOT BE STOPPING AT THIS. LOUISVILLE? MORE LIKE BOOVILLE. IT WILL NEVER BE ONE OF US.

anonymous 12/13/2021 12:58:28 PM

No Code Orange? Damn

anonymous 12/13/2021 1:03:27 PM

Admittedly I'm 10+ years out of the loop on the hardcore scene, but does shit like this actually draw?

anonymous 12/13/2021 1:07:12 PM

This is basically a trade show to connect bands with the unstable women who will cancel their band after having consensual sex.

anonymous 12/13/2021 1:17:13 PM

^^^ No. Fests have what I call "artificial draw." The initial draw is it's tons of bands for a reasonable per band price & basically somewhere to hang out all day. The next draw is out of town in an unfamiliar or familiar city, usually so far away you have to stay at a hotel for a night or two so it's a getaway/vacation. Many parents love these fests cuz it's a great way to get their kids out of the house for 2-4 days & they're more than happy to cover the fest tickets, hotels, flights & food. The artificial draw is attendee brings at least 3 to 5 people with them when they usually bring a person or two to a local/area show which makes sense. If you live in New Jersey are you going to Louisville Kentucky alone? Most likely not. Are you going with just a person or two? Sure but then it's more expense money per person. Bring 3-5 people with you & you pay less per person for the hotel.

anonymous 12/13/2021 1:20:57 PM

^^^ Continued... If just 200 people want to hit a fest (who I call "leaders") that's at least 800 attendees assuming each leader brings an average of three people with them.

anonymous 12/13/2021 1:28:35 PM

^^^ Fests are basically big get togethers with bands. If you book 15 bands a day for three days & charge $150 you'll do fine. You don't really even have to get headliners - see this show. There aren't really any headliners on this. Some are big where they're from but that's it & that's fine. Another draw is they're all together & when/where are you gonna see these bands together again? You live in Iowa - who the hell is coming there?

anonymous 12/13/2021 1:42:32 PM

Did the fest really book The Undead or did they mean that crappy death metal band Undeath?

anonymous 12/13/2021 2:28:11 PM

anonymous 1 hour ago This is basically a trade show to connect bands with the unstable women who will cancel their band after having consensual sex. lol

anonymous 12/13/2021 2:46:50 PM

catch me in the back looking at all of the vagina art

anonymous 12/13/2021 4:15:34 PM

if this is the current state of hardcore this sucks dude lol big yawn

anonymous 12/13/2021 4:16:32 PM

1: this sold out already so the "does this even draw?" comments are pretty funny. 2: on a scale of 1-10 how autistic is the guy who shits on Ekulu/Combust/Regulate in every thread lol?

anonymous 12/13/2021 4:59:41 PM

Shim here, can't wait for this!

anonymous 12/13/2021 5:15:18 PM

this sold out already so the "does this even draw?" comments are pretty funny. 2: on a scale of 1-10 how autistic is the guy who shits on Ekulu/Combust/Regulate in every thread lol?>> First off this did not sell out already & so what if it did? It's a small as s venue relative to the venues for Second keep crying about Regulate, Ekulu & Combust being called out for being the sh it human beings they are. Regulate's drummer sexually assaulted a girl & admitted to it publicly. Ekulu's singer sang lyrics he wrote defending this Regulate scumbag his previous band broke up over in shame with zero apology & Combust's singer plays in a sh it band with him & puts on shows for these two turds & his own sh it bands. YOU get over it.

anonymous 12/13/2021 6:41:00 PM

Damn dog if you're so pressed about Regulate why don't you go to a show and do something about it instead of crying on the internet about it?

anonymous 12/13/2021 7:17:15 PM

I went to holiday jam….it was basically a BFL and IDS f*ck fest with one fsu hat in the mix. It was beyond pathetic. Those Katz claim to be tough but they never go anywhere alone. Losers

anonymous 12/13/2021 7:24:43 PM

BFL=BIG FLABBY LARPERS

anonymous 12/13/2021 7:47:33 PM

Marvel and Disney would like to speak to that one numbnuts band about this Weapon X bullshit.

evil_hero 12/13/2021 8:31:44 PM

anonymous 9 hours ago Congrats to that douchey poster evil_hero who finally has the most comments on news articles. Maybe now he will stop his stupid double posts on every single article perhaps

evil_hero 12/13/2021 8:31:57 PM

perhaps not tho

carveyournamein 12/13/2021 9:17:36 PM

People sure do sweat evil_hero.

anonymous 12/14/2021 3:49:27 AM

^ is he your boyfriend or something bro?

anonymous 12/14/2021 6:56:56 AM

LETS DO BOOSTERS FEST 2022

anonymous 12/14/2021 8:19:10 AM

Funny that Koyo named themselves after a Japanese bearing company.

anonymous 12/14/2021 8:22:52 AM

Lol. You want real hardcore? Should have booked 201.5 Stab Wounds. Posers.

anonymous 12/14/2021 8:26:18 AM

"A bunch of bands with dudes that'll probably rape my girlfriend" fest.

anonymous 12/14/2021 8:39:37 AM

No Month of the Spork, no care.

anonymous 12/14/2021 12:09:41 PM

Damn dog if you're so pressed about Regulate why don't you go to a show and do something about it instead of crying on the internet about it?>> First off, cat, I'm not pressed. Second going to it would mean I'd have to pay to get in thus monetarily support Regulate which I will never do & showing up out front means I could kill the venue if not the venue, too, which I will never do either as I respect promoters, venues, the other bands & attendees. Last "do something about it" like what? Physically harm Regulate's drummer & risk jail time, prison time & a felony record for it? No thanks. If I see him on the street alone or with a friend or two I would call him out & beat his a ss if he took a swing at me he'll miss cuz he ain't a toughguy like I'm not but I'll hit back.

anonymous 12/14/2021 12:17:32 PM

I love the "go to the show" morons. Yeah I'm gonna go alone & risk being ganged up on sure.

anonymous 12/14/2021 12:20:15 PM

^^^ and GTFOH if you think Regulate's drummer would let me say my peace and/or fight me without backup.

anonymous 12/14/2021 3:35:27 PM

200 Booster Wounds

anonymous 12/14/2021 9:55:46 PM

Lmao that sure is a lot of words for "I'm a giant pussy who will never back up anything I say and just talk anonymously on the internet"

anonymous 12/14/2021 10:04:01 PM

Yeah man I can't believe some guy wouldn't hear out a stranger sperging out at him over an awkward teenage hookup he had a decade ago.

anonymous 12/15/2021 2:28:23 PM

Lmao that sure is a lot of words for "I'm a giant pussy who will never back up anything I say and just talk anonymously on the internet" >>> Create a Gmail, post it here, I'll post mine, write you from it, you reply with your phone number, I'll call you within a minute or two & we'll see who the pus sy is. F uc k Regulate (Rapeulate) & f uc k you.

anonymous 12/15/2021 3:38:21 PM

"Buhhhh I'm not a giant pussy, I'll just try to big dog everyone who calls me a weirdo for bringing up the decades old sex lives of teenagers, and never actually confront the person spend hours a day posting about "-you, a giant pussy

anonymous 12/15/2021 3:57:50 PM

^^^ Says the pussy too shook to create a Gmail in seconds & post it. I pulled your card.

anonymous 12/15/2021 4:12:29 PM

Nah. It's just that I, like most healthy people, have no interest in having direct contact with some wchizo that goes around accusing people they've never met of sex crimes. I know that may seem strange, but I'm sure there's a qanon message board or tumblr that can accommodate your needs until the meds kick in.

anonymous 12/15/2021 6:51:16 PM

^^^ Pu s sy 1. He sexually assaulted a girl. 2. He admitted he did that. 3. Publicly online. 4. He's lucky she didn't report him. 5. If she did he'd be in prison right now. 6. Take all five Regulate di c ks out of your mouth & all ten Regulate b al ls off your chin. 7. You're a pus sy.

anonymous 12/15/2021 7:22:33 PM

This Is Cringe Fest

anonymous 12/15/2021 10:16:14 PM

Yeah man I'm sure Harry would've gotten a life sentence for the crime of…asking for a bl*wj*b while hooking up with a chick and then leaving when she said no. Please get on some meds you f*cking dork

anonymous 12/19/2021 11:35:25 AM

He would've gone to prison if his victim reported him. Keep kissing his a ss you clown.

anonymous 12/21/2021 10:11:51 PM

A big problem with this world isn't rape. It's women.

anonymous 1/2/2022 2:09:56 PM

Idk how people enjoy arguing over the internet. That solves issues…

anonymous 2/4/2022 3:53:47 PM

Merch core at its finest
