I love this fest every year. Ty Joe for the best damn fest in the USA year after year. Highlights include the Code Orange hype train, endless mosh, E-Town Concrete playing nu metal at a hardcore fest, madball setting it off, short shorts on tall dudes and long shorts on short girls, and joe hitting rioting beta's during bl13
Really great time. i enjoyed all of the bands, even the poppy-er ones that alienated hardcore kids (The Explosion) and super crazy ones (Dropdead) that alienated everyone else. My only issue is with how short Converge's set was. I partly blame that on Agnostic Front for taking way longer than they should have, but still, I was in the zone and could've used a little more Converge goodness.
Cool. Coldplay was awesome. I love sleeping with sirens. Please push mosh with me next time
Best organized music fest in philly. Lots of excellent food vendors. Would have liked more band merch set ups
Fury of Five Downset and Etown on one bill. Truly amazing all three bands put on amazing sets. Etown was top notch and Downset was just pure hardcore. This night belonged to Fury this entire weekend belonged to them in so many ways. Love em or hate em you still talk about em.
Well organized and plenty of room to go outside, sit down or to watch the bands.
TIHC was an awesome show. Many good bands and people were there. No one was judging anyone, if you were there you were family. Granted, The Electric Factory wasn't the reason for that, but the venue had a good set up. The bar was up top on the balcony and the main floor had enough room for a pit. The only part that was slightly annoying was parking, but that's a given since you're in Philly. The other issue was the lack of places to sit, on the inside of the building, so you couldn't watch every band if you're old like me. I had to go outside for a couple performances. Other than that it was an awesome show and a good venue.
I bought my ticket for the chance to see Turmoil play one more time! And they didn't disappoint! They are such a solid band, and the crowd was great. The rest of the nights line up was spot on! Not to mention the last minute addition of Agnostic Front… What more could you ask for?
Seriously keep it up - brings such a variety of people together new hardcore and old hardcore. Cannot wait to go for years to come.
Best weekend. Thanks joe and everyone else involved.
As mentioned, I went on Saturday and it was an amazing day. Sunday, pretty much the same. Gwar closing out the festival was awesome and all the other bands who played were great. As I mentioned before, if you are an avid hardcore and punk fan, I would recommend checking out this festival and it is worth the trip. I met amazing people from all over the world. Next year, the festival will be at the end of July. Plan accordingly and save the date. Be sure to follow This Is Hardcore on Facebook and download the free smartphone app to stay up to date on news.
This year was my fourth time going to this festival. Every time I go, it keeps getting better and better. This year was definitely one of the best years I have gone. If you are an avid hardcore and punk fan, you should definitely check out this festival. Next year, it will be at the end of July instead of August. Plan accordingly. Already thinking about next year.
GWAR and TUI were absolutely amaze. GWAR without a barrier = unreal
Joe Hardcore does it again, TIHC is a guaranteed good time.
Lots of mosh, and stuff like moshing and mosh related mosh stuff and loads of mosh and stuff.
Very pleased with the event but its not over yet gwar tonight mauhahaha
The venues were great and the bands were amazing, perfect line up. My only complaint is the Electric Factory refusing reentry halfway through the first day.
It would have been cooler with re-entry. Everything else was cool though
