A little about the bands announced so far: Turnstile is an aggressive mix of both positive and negative unbridled expression with high energy. Their latest album, Nonstop Feeling, was released earlier this year on Reaper Records and it’s bigger and louder than any of their previous work. They are sure to kill it at this tour.
Backtrack is a New York hardcore band that has been touring almost non-stop for the last year and a half supporting their Bridge 9 debut album, Lost in Life. Their high energy live shows will make them a great addition to the lineup.
The last band confirmed, Heavy Chains, hail from New Jersey and are making waves in the East Coast hardcore scene. They’ve played festivals like This is Hardcore, United Blood and Black N Blue. This tour marks the bands first venture out west.
Stay tuned for the other headliner announcements coming soon!
