Forget what you know about horror conventions and music fests
because we’ve got news for you.
MassConcerts,
New England’s largest indie concert promoter
presents the
5th
Annual Rock & Shock – the only event of its kind in the Northeast.
We
are not like other boring horror conventions! We were the first to
blend horror conventions with music. So while fans can meet their
favorite horror film stars, directors, writers and bands during the
day - at night we have well-known national bands performing each
night next door at The Palladium…That’s why this event is called
Rock & Shock.
The live music takes place at The Palladium. Bands that have played
in the past include Gwar, Misfits, Type O Negative, Insane Clown Posse, Meshuggah,
Turbonegro, God Forbid, DevilDriver, Mushroomhead, The Haunted and others.
