The folks over at Boston Hassle have come through with another doozy of a lineup for Hassle Fest’s seventh installment, featuring over 40 acts across 3 venues from November 5th through 7th. Headlined by favorites like Screaming Females, Downtown Boys, and Flipper alongside locals (New England) Patriots, Guerilla Toss, and Pile (among many others) the weekend celebrates a wide scope of underground and DIY sounds from Boston and beyond.
The lineup may be eclectic, but Hassle Fest is an intensely coordinated effort built on community support, the efforts of local nonprofit BRAIN Arts Organization, and the passion of its participants. It’s funded solely by ticket sales, sponsorships from local businesses, and a crowdfunding campaign– and donating early is an easy way to snag advance tickets and other rewards, like afterparty passes and even a custom-curated show. Check out the full lineup of confirmed performers below and get psyched, then head on over to the Indiegogo page here to watch the preview vid and find out more about how you can get support the fest.
