The Northeast US festival Hellfest originally ran between 1997 and 2004, first taking place in the Syracuse area before moving to New Jersey in its final year. It was supposed to happen again in 2005 but was cancelled, and now, 20 years later, veteran metalcore label Trustkill Records (who co-sponsored the festival back in the day) and newer metalcore label Elphyra are bringing it back.

Chicago trio Lifeguard will be on tour supporting their debut album Ripped & Torn starting June 28 in Chicago and including Brooklyn’s Market Hotel on July 11 with PARKiNG and Autobahn.
SMASHING PUMPKINS
Smashing Pumpkins have announced dates in Asia happening this fall, including five shows in Japan (their first time there in 12 years) and Thailand.
