Post-hardcore band I Set My Friends on Fire is ready to bring their unique sound to the Hudson Valley. Formed by a group of high school seniors in 2008, the band quickly gained attention after sharing a punkified cover of “Soulja Boy” on MySpace. Since then, they’ve released two main studio albums and several EPs. I Set My Friends on Fire is no stranger to the stage and will no doubt bring an invigorating performance to the Hudson Valley.
Hailing from Elizabeth, NJ, Bayway is a hardcore band formed in late 2022. They allow their New Jersey influences to seep into every aspect of their music. Bayway has had several successful releases that have earned them a respected place in the hardcore scene and landed them a headlining spot at the Hudson Valley Hard Rock Fest.
Sacramento-based band Jamie’s Elsewhere is constantly pushing boundaries. Their distinct approach to the hardcore genre has led to a lengthy discography that captivates fans. Speaking on their 2025 EP Alchemical, the band says it was “the most honest, experimental, and exciting batch of songs we have ever written.” They look forward to sharing their music as headliners on the festival stage.
Millionaire$ is an exhilarating electronic pop band that’s sure to amp up the energy at the festival. Started by Orange County sisters Melissa Marie Green and Allison Green and their friend Dani Artaud, the band blends electro-pop and rap to make music that screams carefree. Festival attendees are in for a fun time with Millionaire$ on the stage.
