Full 2024 Lineup Reveal
RPM Fest is celebrating its 10th anniversary in style with PRONG, JASTA, MISERY INDEX, and BONGZILLA as our featured headliners for 2024.
New York City’s PRONG is fresh off last year’s October release of “Stage of Emergency”, which was followed up by a co-headlining U.S. tour with VOIVOD. JASTA recently released his fourth solo record “And Jasta For All…” on May 17th, featuring appearances from Chuck Billy (Testament), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Steve "Zetro" Souza (Exodus) and Phil Demmel (Kerry King, ex-Machine Head). MISERY INDEX is currently recording their eighth full-length album with an anticipated fall release on Century Media. BONGZILLA is touring in support of their “Dabbing Live Rosin in Europe” record.
These headliners are rounded out with support from DECEASED, BELUSHI SPEED BALL, CASTLE RAT, TOWER, LEATHER LUNG, THY WILL BE DONE, MOTHER IRON HORSE, PERSEKUTOR, RIG TIME!, and more.
RPM Fest is also adding to their entertainment lineup with a Saturday night post-show wrestling performance from KAIJU BIG BATTEL, with city-crushing monsters bringing carnage, mayhem and absolute fun. Sunday night will once again feature a hard-hitting, intense lineup of matches from PRO WRESTLING GRIND to close out the fest.
Since its beginnings as a DIY backyard event celebrating the Western Mass music scene, RPM Fest has become a highly-anticipated event for enthusiasts of underground heavy music and culture. The festival expects over 1200 attendees this year, and co-founders John Gulow and Brian Westbrook attribute the festival’s growth to word-of-mouth, old-school promotion tactics like flyering and street teaming, and a strong emphasis on community.
“This festival wouldn’t be possible anywhere else,” says Westbrook. “Western Mass is a relatively rural area and not densely populated, but we have an incredible, tight-knit community of musicians and fans that want this festival to happen and succeed. The entire fest is volunteer-run, and we get a ton of grassroots support from local businesses and vendors.”
Held in Montague, MA, RPM Fest is New England’s biggest heavy music campout, featuring over 40 rock, punk, and metal bands, plus post-show entertainment including professional wrestling, burlesque performances, heavy metal trivia, and karaoke. The festival also hosts a vendor market and artist alley featuring crafters, sculptors, painters, and other creatives that highlight the alternative, dark, and macabre.
RPM Fest 2024 is August 30th – Sept 1st at the Millers Falls Rod and Gun Club in Montague, MA and is presented by Four Phantoms Brewing Company. Weekend and single day tickets are available now at RPMFest.org. Tent camping is included with all ticket purchases, while vehicle and RV camping passes are also available for purchase.
