Speed have been announced as the next headliners for this year’s Burn It Down Festival.
The Sydney titans will join Drug Church atop the bill, with the Torquay event – which takes place across four venues in the Devon town between September 3-5 – confirming that Speed’s performance will be a no-barrier set. There’s still a third headliner to come, but elsewhere Burn It Down’s 2026 line-up boasts everyone from As It Is to unpeople, Grove Street, PENGSHUI, Meryl Streek, The Chisel, The Meffs, Trauma Ray and loads more. Tickets are on sale now.
Next month Speed will kick off their UK tour with Whispers and Bodyweb, stopping off in Brighton, Birmingham, Bristol, Newcastle, Leeds, Glasgow and London. They were also recently announced for Reading & Leeds in August, so you’ve got plenty of chances to catch ’em throughout 2026.
