SATURDAY HEADLINER
Appalachian Outlaw Rock! Scattered Hamlet is not just a band; they're a force of nature—where Southern grit collides with heavy-hitting rock 'n' roll. With deep roots in Appalachian soul and a raw, untamed energy, they’re the perfect blend of outlaw spirit and metal attitude. Known for their electric live shows, they channel the grit of back-road bar brawls, the freedom of open highways, and the rebellious heart of Americana. Scattered Hamlet isn't here to fit a mold—they're here to shatter it, leaving a trail of whiskey-soaked riffs and unapologetic anthems in their wake.
Scattered Hamlet’s consistent presence at major festivals keeps them highly visible within the rock community. They consistently headline their own U.S. tours and share festival stages with acts like Pantera, Black Label Society, Anthrax, and Five Finger Death Punch. Their dynamic performances have made them fan favorites at events like Rocklahoma, Rock Fest in Cadott, WI, Sturgis Buffalo Chip, Inkcarceration, and Van’s Warped Tour. Additionally, they've been featured on media platforms such as CBS, CMT, VEVO, the Travel Channel, and the NASCAR Heat 3 video game, broadening their fan base and multimedia reach.
Scattered Hamlet uses humor and casual banter to connect with their audience, often posting about the ups and downs of touring life, gear setups, and even "honky-tonk" takes on daily topics, making their content feel more personal. They’re also highly interactive with their followers, responding to comments and sharing fan photos and stories, reinforcing a community vibe. Their social media feeds blend promotional content, live concert photos, and fan tributes, showing they prioritize fan connection as much as self-promotion. Through platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, they keep their followers in the loop about live shows, tour stories, and behind-the-scenes glimpses, which fans appreciate for the authenticity and accessibility.
As we enter 2026, we see the newest version of Symetria rolling forward as the Juggernaut they have shown themselves to be, with a fresh face behind the drums in Matt Houseman. He joins Vince, Mike, Bryan, and Kevin without the band missing a beat and brings a thunderous presence to the kit and stage like a well-seasoned pro. The band goes into the studio with multiple-time Grammy award winner Daniel Malsch in March of 2026 to record another 3-song EP for their record label, Curtain Call Records, which is scheduled to start getting airplay in May of 2026, with a release date to be announced for the summer. The band has already booked a couple of festival appearances for the summer of 2026 to support the release and is heavily involved on the local level with other extremely talented bands and musicians, rebuilding a local original music scene in this “post-apocalyptic” COVID world we are living in. Beyond the horizon, the project keeps writing and performing new material alongside what’s been released and what's scheduled to be recorded, with the vision to both grow a thriving local scene and continue to branch out regionally and semi-nationally. There have been early discussions about reaching the West Coast in 2027. Coupled with the consistent flow of new music, it’s obvious Symetria is here to stay and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, it’s rather the opposite. With 2026 being the 10th year of Symetria’s existence, the band has proven that even COVID couldn’t break the vision of Symetria.

IntoxXxication is an all-original Hard Rock band from the 80s. The band had a rebirth 2 years ago with some young blood and has returned to the stage with a vengeance, opening for some of the biggest national acts of the '80s and '90s, as well as bands of today. Their on-stage energy is explosive. SOME People say it's like a cannonball being shot out of a cannon. With Smokin Tony Z, the founding member, leading the way, and the original Bass player from 80s Nex Sanctum by his side, they insisted on a young Trey Wirth on Drums, then brought in a very talented Chris Taylor on vocals, and finally added Ed the Monster Gurbisz as rhythm guitar. It's intoxicating, rolling through some of their songs from yesteryear mixed with a few new songs. Intoxication has taken back its spot in today's metal scene. They are known as the stage sluts of today. Never turning down a show. Come and enjoy the music of IntoxXxication.
We’re BLISS. Our band formed back in 2021, with members coming and going over the years. It wasn’t until 2024 that we finally found the right lineup. We are based in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Our sound is a mix of ’90s grunge and 2000’s punk rock. We play covers from artists like Nirvana, Seether, and Green Day, and we also create our own original music, including an album and four singles.
