We are wicked proud to announce THCC as our Main Stage Sponsor for RPM Fest 2026!
The Heavy Culture Cooperative (THCC, pronounced โthickโ) is a cooperative owned and operated by workers, artists, and fans. THCC was founded in 2022 with the goal of establishing a music and performing arts venue that embraces various subcultures within the underground arts community. Located at 1 Northampton Street in Easthampton, MA, THCC opened its bar doors to the public in January 2026 and began hosting live music in February.
Currently sitting at over 330 member-owners, THCC was born out of conversations at RPM Fest among long-standing members of the western Massachusetts heavy music community. And, like RPM Fest, THCC represents the shared love, appreciation, and support of all things heavy, and is proof of how that shared love can inspire a community to do great things.
THCC is open Thursday - Sunday, and in addition to live music features monthly karaoke and trivia and weekly tabletop gaming days. Membership applications are always open, but you donโt need to be a member to come to THCC! Stop in for a drink, check out a show, and always keep it heavy!
