Our buddies over at Metal Injection are putting on one hell of a festival later this year and I honestly think the full weekend passes are worth it. But life can sometimes get in the way, things come up, or you’re just too old to enjoy so much metal without hurting for multiple days afterward. I get it.
That’s why the folks behind the festival have begun offering single-day passes. That’s right, for $85 you can enjoy either the Saturday show featuring Jinjer as the headliner with God Forbid, Hanabie, Revocation, and more, or you can attend Sunday with Converge headlining and sets from 3 Inches of Blood, Cave In, and Goatwhore, just to name a few.
Taking place in New York at Brooklyn Monarch & Meadows on September 21 & 22, the whole shebang is in celebration of Metal Injection‘s 20th anniversary. To give you a better idea of just how badass this whole thing’s gonna be, here’s the rundown of who’s playing which days:

In addition to the bands, there will be a buncha giveaways, surprises, vendors, and more. You can even grab one of the limited Jinjer meet and greet packages, though there’s only 30 spots available, so you should grab one ASAP if that’s your jam.
And as if that wasn’t enough, for each ticket purchased one dollar will also be donated to Headbang for Science, an annual scholarship award for high school seniors, undergrads & grad students who are pursuing a career in healthcare and/or the physical sciences, founded by SiriusXM curator/host and former Pharmacy grad student Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin. So your ticket purchase will go towards a worthwhile cause, too.
So what are you waiting for? Get your tickets and join us in the pit this September.
