Hardcore festivals cover both ends of the word, from the punk and metalcore pits of Outbreak Fest and Hellfest to the hard-dance and gabber stages of events like Defqon.1 and Parookaville.

It's a circuit built on energy, with most events from June to August. Setline brings hardcore festivals together with full lineups, so you can see who's playing, preview the artists, and plan the trip with friends.
