One of the staple American festival has announced the lineup. The New England Metal and Hardcore Festival will kick off Thursday, April 16th and run for three days straight until Saturday, April 18th. To say the lineup is diverse would be a massive understatement. Day one is primarily bands of the "crab core" variety, shifting to a more hardcore feel for day two, and then a buffet of mainstream metal for day three.
