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.
