Hellfest 2005 | Public Enemy, Coalesce, Youth of Today | Line-up

Hellfest 2005 takes place in Trenton, NJ from August 19-21, 2005.

“Hellfest, the hardcore scene’s Lollapalooza (if Lollapalooza had fewer mudslides and more walls of death) will be having its 9th show the weekend of August 19, with 188 bands performing over three days. Headlining will be the not-exactly-“hardcore,” but definitely freaking hardcore Public Enemy. The seminal hip-hop revolutionaries will be promoting their upcoming record Rebirth Of A Nation alongside other resuscitated bands like Youth Of Today, 108 and Bold.”
