ENDLESS FIRES have unveiled the first wave of artists for their 2026 festival, set for August 15 and 16 at Sharkey’s Event Center in Syracuse, New York.
Founded by former Hellfest organizer Keith Allen, the event promises a chaotic mix of hardcore, punk, metalcore, and rap, with THREE 6 MAFIA set to co-headline alongside a still-unannounced artist. PROJECT PAT, AMERICAN NIGHTMARE, COMEBACK KID, CIRCLE JERKS, E.TOWN CONCRETE, MADBALL, WEEKEND NACHOS, EIGHTEEN VISIONS, DEADGUY, and many more have also been confirmed.
Allen said about the launch of the festival:
“‘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!”
A second wave of artists is expected within the next two weeks, alongside single-day ticket details and more information on the planned August 14 pre-party.
