For every ticket sold, $1 will be donated to Headbang for Science, an annual scholarship award for high school seniors, undergrads & grad students who are pursuing a career in healthcare and/or the physical sciences. It's the first scholarship foundation to directly provide financial aid to "Metalheads," and was founded by SiriusXM curator/host and former Pharmacy grad student Jose "Metal Ambassador" Mangin in 2021.
Ash Pearson of 3 Inches of Blood comments: "We're very excited to come to New York for the first time in over a decade. New York fans have always been good to us and we're looking forward to playing for them again. Should be an incredible weekend."
Frank Godla, Metal Injection CEO and Fest Organizer comments: "Last year was an incredible way to kick things off for the Metal Injection Festival, and with this year being our 20th anniversary I decided to head back to our origins. This year, I bring this mammoth weekend to Brooklyn, NY with a celebration it’s never seen. The list of artists and special sets I curated for this are going to be something truly special, and I couldn’t be happier about how this shaped up. Even the smallest bands on this roster excite the shit out of me, and will be household names. So here's your chance to see what they're made of, the way I see them. I can't wait to see y’all there!"
The festival will also include lots of surprises, giveaways, unannounced happenings, vendors and more across the weekend.
