Title. Are there any hardcore shows in the area? I moved to Waynesboro and as all of you probably know, its extremely dead as far as pretty much anything to do goes, and I'm bored as shit, but now that winter is over im really itching for a show. Any form of extreme music is good with me, death metal, doom, hardcore etc.

Richmond is one of the best cities in the US for hardcore. Most of the big tours come through and the local scene has some amazing bands too. Cville not so much. The Southern has been doing semi regular metal shows and Visible Records has punk shows occasionally.

Hardcore blue grass or hard core jam?
Jk I have no idea - I am old and punk shows don’t go on at 4 in the afternoon

The Southern has been having metal shows, keep an eye on their calendar. Ace Biscuit and BBQ has also had a couple so I'd follow them on Instagram to stay in the loop. Other than that, you're gonna have to head to Richmond.

There's a ton in Richmond. There was also one last night at Ace bbq, currently it's the only venue in Charlottesville that has hardcore shows.
