Homegrown This Is Hardcore Fest kicks off today! Going on its 9th year, the brainchild of Joe Hardcore has blossomed into the premier hardcore event in the world. (Yeah, I said it – WORLD!) It will also be the first year that the fest will be presented by Noisey. TIH will be taking place over the next four days (July 24 – 27) at the Electric Factory and Voltage Lounge with after-parties around the city if you feel like you haven’t released enough aggression yet. PA acts that you’ll want to check out are Blacklisted (of course), Title Fight, Turmoil, and Code Orange Kids with plethora of badass transient groups like Converge, Madball, UltraMantis Black, and Ringworm to help send the pits into a frenzy. The Electric Factory’s parking lot will also host a gathering of food vendors and booths featuring eclectic goods and social causes to get involve with. And yes, there is re-entry you jagaloons!
