Worcester has earned its reputation as the metal and hardcore capital of New England, largely through the Palladium on Main Street and the annual New England Metal and Hardcore Festival that has packed the venue since 1999. The city's industrial mill town roots provided the perfect backdrop for punk and ska to flourish alongside heavier sounds. From the Canal District to the Worcester hills, the scene remains a rite of passage for touring bands cutting their teeth in the Northeast.
