Elston), to be exact. Joining this big ol’ barrel of fun is thrash mainstays Anthrax, metalcore innovators Converge, riff-weaving trio Russian Circles, and hometown heavy hitters Atlas Moth and Indian — all bands that have been integral to Kuma’s storied history. We’re not stopping at music, though. Kuma’s will be slinging some of their favorite food items, while multiple breweries pour exclusive bevies, local distilleries whip up craft cocktails, and artists and vendors offer some retail therapy for your weary, metal-hungry heart. One more reason to get your grubby paws on these here tickets: A portion of the festival’s proceeds will benefit Hope for the Day, a non-profit movement empowering the conversation on proactive suicide prevention and mental health education. If you can believe it, more details and delights are still to come. Stay tuned, sweet metal babies ;)
