Madball

New York City hardcore legends Madball will be headlining a string of summer tour dates and festival shows in August.

The band will launch the tour in St. Louis, Missouri, on August 8 and the trek will travel through the Midwest, ending in Philadelphia on August 14 at the This Is Hardcore Fest.

“We’re excited to be doing more festivals like this in the states,” says vocalist Freddy Cricien. “I think these kinds of shows are great for the genre/scene. We just came back from Europe from doing a few big festivals and we’ll be back there in July for more, before the states tour. Europe has been on to something for years, with regard to having hardcore bands on this kind of platform. Hopefully this trend continues and grows in the states. I am one of the promoters of the BnB bowl in NYC. We’ve tried to set an example for years now with that event. Hopefully, we can do it ‘open air’ proper style some day! See you all in the Midwest, either at a fest or club show. Come through!”
