This Is Hardcore slightly downsizes for 2025, announces lineup
The Philly fest includes Merauder, Shattered Realms (‘Broken Ties’ set), End It, On Broken Wings, Bayway, and more.

Philly’s This Is Hardcore has announced its 2025 edition, and this year it slightly downsizes to two days at Underground Arts, instead of one day at UArts and two at the larger Franklin Music Hall like last year. It goes down August 8 & 9 with a mix of veteran bands like Merauder, Shattered Realms (playing 2002’s Broken Ties… Spoken Lies…), On Broken Wings, Death Before Dishonor, Desperate Measures, and COA; and newer ones like End It, Bayway, Raw Brigade, and Combust.
Tickets go on sale Monday (3/24) at 9 AM. Check out the poster with the full lineup below.
