The China Hardcore Music Festival returns! Running on and off for over a decade, the CNHC festival is a gathering of China’s best and most fierce in the hardcore scene, as well as special guests from across Asia. With a whopping thirteen bands in the lineup, expect nothing but nonstop mosh pits and hardcore camaraderie. Visiting guests include female-led Hong Kong hardcore outfit Snails, OG Singaporean hardcore act Overthrown (going strong for thirty years), beatdown rapture group Reverse Boys, metalcore band Universe Last A Ward, and True Fight, all from Japan. Elsewhere, you’ve got Shenzhen ruffians Shoot the Gun, Zhuhai’s Such Great Heights, and one-man grindcore act Impure Injection. Beijing wrecks some havoc in the form of D.T.L. (Dragon, Tiger, Leopard) and OH hardcore torch bearers Return the Truth. Finally, Shanghai is represented by Loudspeaker, No More Harm, and ButterSoda. Pace yourself out there - it’s gonna be a long one.
