2014 New England Metal & Hardcore Festival Announces First Wave of Confirmed Acts

New England Metal & Hardcore Festival has announced the first wave of acts for the fest's 2014 edition. So far, bands such as All That Remains, Iced Earth, Nile, Bleeding Through and many others have been confirmed to perform at NEMHC next year.

The 2014 New England Metal & Hardcore Festival will be the 16th installment of the Massachusetts event, which brings heavy music and underground vendors to the Worcester Palladium every year. Split between two stages, dozens of bands will shred through the festival over a period of three days. This year, NEMHC will be held from April 17-19.

One reason NEMHC will be unique this year is that the festival will mark the "final East Coast appearance" from Bleeding Through, who just finished one leg of their U.S. farewell tour. Also, the 2014 Metal Alliance Tour will be stopping in Worcester for NEMHC. The lineup for that tour will be revealed soon.

Tickets for the 2014 New England Metal & Hardcore Festival will become available on Black Friday (Nov. 29). Check out the first wave of confirmed bands for NEMHC below!
