Organizers for FYA Fest in Tampa have unveiled the full line-up for their 2025 installment, marking the 11th anniversary of the beloved hardcore tradition. Kicking off the new year on January 4th and 5th, FYA will have a high bar to reach, given last year's 10th edition which included a special Dying Fetus set that set the internet ablaze.
FYA 2025 has come out the gate with big news, confirming that ATL hardcore stalwarts Foundation have reunited for a special headlining set. The band split in 2016 and would go onto forge projects like Abuse of Power, CANDY and Criminal Instinct to list a few. Additionally holding down that top line, powerviolence vets NAILS will be performing in support of their first new album in eight years due out later this month, Every Bridge Burning.
Among the added reunion sets that have become a part of the FYA signature include performances from Blistered and The Mongoloids. Among various standouts on the stacked bill include sets from Mindforce, Terror, Fury, Final Resting Place, Big Boy, death metal vets Internal Bleeding and the new project, Holy Blade which features members of Twitching Tongues, God's Hate and Cosmic Joke.
Tickets for FYA Fest 2025 are set to go on sale August 16th. See the complete list of performing artists below.
