Below is a press release from Tough Luck Fest:

WILMINGTON, MA — Guitarist Camden Connor, from Wilmington, is set to perform with Wisdom & War on Day 2 of Boston’s most highly anticipated new festival on September 7, 2024.

Tough Luck Fest is a 2-day independent festival that brings two notable headliners and 10 of Boston’s fastest growing alternative bands to the big stage at Brighton Music Hall. Day 1 of the festival focuses on emo, pop punk, and alternative rock; Day 2 focuses on hardcore, deathcore, and punk.

This celebration of underrepresented genres is organized by Evil Eye Artists, an alternative-genre centered artist management group.

Founder and hardcore vocalist Asher Thomas (Nailed Shut MA) intends to bring awareness to the alternative scene by highlighting a variety of bands, from college students to professional touring musicians. The emo, pop punk, and hardcore scene has been a staple in New England’s culture for decades; Tough Luck Fest is making sure it sticks around.

Tough Luck Fest welcomes two widely celebrated headlining bands from New York, Monochromatic Black and Young Culture.This lineup is filled with local, alternative artists who have been instrumental in the Boston scene. Jesse Detor, a resurrection of 90s girlrock from Boston, has seen widespread success on social media. Her return to live shows in Boston is highly anticipated.
