Keith Allen, one of the founders of the US edition of Hellfest, is putting on a new festival in Syracuse, NY this summer. Endless Fires happens on August 15-16 at Sharkey’s Event Center, and they’re calling it “a full weekend experience for fans of hardcore, metal, punk, crossover, and underground hip-hop culture.”
The initial lineup is led by Three 6 Mafia and another artist that’s still to be announced, and also includes a set from Three 6 Mafia co-founder Project Pat, as well as American Nightmare, Circle Jerks, Comeback Kid, E.Town Concrete, Lil Wyte, Weekend Nachos, Missing Link, Gridiron, Lionheart, Madball, Comeback Kid, Crown of Thornz, Wisdom in Chains, and more, with more artists still to be announced.
Tickets are on sale now.
Allen had shared a lengthy post on Reddit last year accusing Trustkill Records founder Josh Grabelle of “hijacking” Hellfest. If bad blood remains between Trustkill/Hellfest and Allen, his new festival lineup mostly proves the artists are staying neutral. Not only does the initial lineup contain many notable artists who have also played the new Hellfests the past couple years, they even have Trustkill vets Eighteen Visions just months after they played a Hellfest West pre-show.
Eighteen Visions (and probably other bands on this lineup) are also on the just-announced 2026 Furnace Fest lineup.
