Damaged City Fest 2016 Brings the Fiercest Bands Punk and Hardcore Have to Offer

Festivals don't always have to be lame as hell. Instead of going to the big festival your friends force you to where you can barely hear the bands playing and have to spend $12 on a bottle of water, you can go to a festival that really cares about creating a forward thinking, intense lineup. One such festival is Washington D.C.'s Damaged City Fest.

This year's edition of Damaged City Fest will occur April 2016, bringing the best, most exciting bands that hardcore and punk have to offer. The festival also spans bands of all nationalities and gender, including bands like Zero Boys, Systematic Death, Sheer Mag, The Avengers, Protester, Torso, Obstruct, and way more. It's one of the best showcases the genre has to offer, all in the heart of Washington D.C.
