Alexisonfire, Basement, Suicidal Tendencies, Converge and more for Outbreak Fest Manchester

Outbreak have made their first announcement for next year’s Manchester edition of the festival.

Taking place from June 26 – 28, 2026 at the Bowler’s Exhibition Centre, the hardcore extravaganza will be headlined by the mighty Alexisonfire who will be performing 2006’s Crisis in full (and more). Of course, we last caught AOF topping the bill at 2000trees a couple of months back, and in our review of their set we said the band were “ravenous for a rager” and “full-on feral”. So expect much more of the same next summer…

Underneath them, the likes of Basement, Suicidal Tendencies, Converge, Hatebreed, Trapped Under Ice, High Vis, Scowl and loads more will appear. Tickets are on sale now – check out the full line-up (so far) below:
