Letlive
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Since their beginning in 2002, Letlive has been a band that is not easy to categorize. In fact, they refuse to be constrained by the ideas of a “scene” – whether it is punk, metal, indie, rap. However, if their upcoming album, If I’m the Devil…  (out June 10th), necessitates a genre, one could posit revolutionary counterculture music – a punk rock Run the Jewels, a more emotional Rage Against the Machine, and Public Enemy with more inclusive politics.
 This is a performance you don’t want to miss.

Slayer
_____________________________________________________________________________________

For more than three decades, Slayer’s onslaught has proven the band to be the supreme thrash-metal band on the planet. Throughout Slayer’s history, the band has never faltered in unleashing its extreme and focused sonic assault, and, unlike many of its contemporaries who “commercialized” their sound, Slayer has remained crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the mainstream. Don’t miss the chance to see these metal legends in action!

Volbeat
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Volbeat emerged from Copenhagen in 2000, and since then, they’ve tirelessly clawed their way to hard rock’s upper echelon with endless touring and a string of five beloved full-length albums. Having about to release their sixth full-length album, Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie, on June 3rd, and having just released their new single “The Devil’s Bleeding Crown”, you’ll be chanting their songs all summer.

Ghost
_____________________________________________________________________________________

The congregation known as Ghost and their sound is best described as somewhere between Mastodon and Metallica. Having released their third sacred psalm, Meliora, on August 21st, 2015, they continue to deliver their satanic melodies to audiences worldwide. Don’t miss them at Rock Allegiance this summer!

Pierce The Veil
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Pierce the Veil, one of the fastest-rising, most electrifying artists on the music scene today, will release their hotly-anticipated new album,  Misadventures, on May 13th. With a new punk-flavoured single entitled “Texas is Forever” available for streaming, the track goes back to the band’s roots, and is a song that begs to be played live. Hear that and more when they perform at Rock Allegiance this summer!
