ABOUT NHHCF
New Hampshire Hardcore Fest is the first show of its kind in the North Country, bringing the hardcore culture of the Life and Death Brigade (LDB) and FYA fests to the north with a lineup of the best hardcore and metal bands from New England and beyond. The festival's home for it's first two years, The Loading Dock, provided an intimate space for hardcore to thrive. In attempts to grow the brand and audience for its third year, the fest transitioned to the Littleton Opera House. In it's upcoming fourth year, the fest returns home to the Loading Dock to recapture the intimacy and energy of the first two years.
The purpose of New Hampshire Hardcore Fest has been to reintroduce Northern NH to hard music in a way that encourages the younger generation of the area to participate and feel a sense of community that may be absent.
Inclusivity and acceptance is a big part of what we do. That's why NHHCF is and will always be safe space for people of all races, gender identities and sexual orientations. If you don't like it, kindly fuck off.
