The lineup for the 2026 ‘Endless Fires‘ festival set to be held in Syracuse, NY sports some ambitious booking, pairing rap, punk and metalcore artists on the same bill.

The festival’s founder Keith Allen announced this new event in response to his past festival brand, the U.S. version of ‘Hellfest‘, being, in his own words, ‘hijacked’ by Trustkill Records founder Josh Grabelle.
Speaking of this event now, Allen stated:
“‘Endless Fires‘ is both a return and a rebirth. It is a celebration of the underground music scene based in upstate NY, and centered in Syracuse, in the form of a multi-day, summertime festival. Years ago, we had such a fest that was the highlight for a thriving hardcore, metal and punk rock music scene. Often imitated but never recreated, the lore and the legacy of that fest are infamous. Here we are, some decades later, rekindling the flame and bringing back that tradition. The fire has never gone out and now it’s going to burn brighter than ever before. Welcome to Endless Fires. Welcome to Endless Fires of Hell Festival!
The current roster above reprsents the first wave of artists, with a second wave set to be revealed in roughly two weeks time. Single day tickets for the event will go onsale alongside that announcement. For now, weekend tickets for this fest are available, with details of a planned August 14th pre-party event pending.
