Hellfest

This American Hellfest (not to be confused with the French festival of the same name) was an all-ages festival that began in the 1990s around Syracuse, New York, before relocating to New Jersey. Its lineup centered on hardcore music broadly defined, spanning punk rock, metalcore, emo and post-hardcore, with a barrier-free, fan-friendly atmosphere built for stage diving. Its planned Trenton edition was cancelled in 2005, ending the festival's original run before a revival under a new name in 2025.
