Outbreak Fest initial 2026 lineup: Alexisonfire, Basement, Hatebreed, TUI, Touche, Trash Talk & more

The beloved UK hardcore-and-more festival Outbreak Fest returns June 26, 27 & 28 to Manchester’s Bowler’s Exhibition Centre for its 15th anniversary, and the just-announced initial lineup is looking very stacked. The headliners so far are Ontario post-hardcore vets Alexisonfire performing Crisis in full for its 20th anniversary (and more) and UK hometown heroes/Outbreak regulars Basement. And Alexisonfire isn’t the only special set; the fest also has Hatebreed performing “songs from Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire & Perseverance + more,” Touché Amoré performing Stage Four in full for its 10th anniversary (and more), and Trapped Under Ice doing a Big Kiss Goodnight 15th anniversary set.

On top of all that, we get sets from Suicidal Tendencies, Converge, PUP, High Vis, La Dispute, The Armed, Trash Talk, Fiddlehead, Harms Way, Scowl, Ecca Vandal, Higher Power, Glare, Glitterer, End It, Haywire, Gridiron, Sanction, Ingrown, Glixen, Initiate, Febuary, Truck Violence, and more. And again, this is just the initial lineup. This thing is stacked and it’s only gonna get better.

Tickets are on sale now. Stay tuned for more updates.

2026’s three-day edition in Manchester follows the 2025 edition that did two days in Manchester and one day in London.

Also, this is the first-announced Crisis 20th anniversary show for Alexisonfire, something they recently told us they planned to do in 2026. They also talked about the new music they have on the way.
