Somergloom Festival
Aug 6, 7 & 8, 2026
Somergloom is an underground heavy music and arts festival based in Somerville, Massachusetts in the Greater Boston area. Unencumbered by genre, Somergloom showcases and celebrates the richness of today’s heavy music scene, centered around music that is introspective, creatively ambitious, evoking a melancholic quality that we like to call “gloom”.

Since its inception in 2021, Somergloom has grown into a multi-day event featuring a diverse range of artists from both New England and beyond. In 2025, we celebrated our fifth year at Deep Cuts in Medford, MA and Crystal Ballroom in Somerville, MA, with performances by SUMAC, Body Void, The Keening, Morne, Chepang, and many more from Greater Boston, New England and the Northeast US.
