Earlier this year, New York metal legend and one-man booking company Rich Hall, who ran 1000 Knives, passed away in his home. He was known throughout the years for starting out as a roadie and merch dude that eventually began booking and promoting shows at legendary venues like CBGB and Long Island’s P.W.A.C. To say the music world was shocked at his passing would be an understatement.

At the time, his wife Carrie Whitney-Hall wrote online the following statement:

“It breaks my heart to write this, but the man I chose 14 years ago has passed. I knew the second we met, that I was going to marry him. I knew we’d make a cute kid too. This is our last family photo from Monster trucks on Sunday. We went out for Mexican food and C’s birthday dinner. His last meal was a giant burrito. We kissed good night and he thanked me for taking care of him. I’m thankful our last moments were happy and content.

“You guys this is so hard, he loved and is loved by so many people. I want to see all of you and hug all of you. Just let me figure out the hard stuff and we’ll plan celebrations on both coasts! I always say this, but tell each other you love them and give big Rich Hall hugs to everyone, you never know how much time you have together!”

Well, they’ve got the New York celebrations in Hall’s memory figured out and boy, those look like they’re going to be killer shows. We’re talking some major players hitting the stage at Brooklyn’s The Warsaw and Monarch this June. The lineups are as follows:
