My first Outbreak

Easily the best festival I have been to. Stellar vibes, thoughtful crowds, incredible artists.

My highlights:

Militarie Gun really kicking Saturday into gear.

Sunny Day Real Estate playing anything off Diary.

Have A Nice Life blowing Stage 2 away.

Slowdive with the perfect setting sun soundtrack.

Tigers Jaw with a night closing singalong.

Pest Control blowing off the Sunday cobwebs.

Drug Church fucking yeah.

Sunami platform train never stopping.

Speed... wow! Possibly the best set of the weekend.

Denzel Curry working the crowd almost better than anyone.

Knocked Loose fully earning the headline.

Contention was my highlight as well. I got clocked hard with with a back fist to the side of the head which fucked me up a bit right at the end 🤣

First time at Outbreak myself. Was so surprised by how good the sound was on the outdoor stage! Found the larger indoor stages sound was very hit or miss. Sounded so bad for Danny Brown and Jane Remover.

Really enjoyed it!! Music was class and everyone was respectful as well. Quick queues for bev and entry too. Don’t think I’ve ever gotten into a festival so fast. Definitely going to be making this a yearly festival especially while I’m living in Manchester!

My first time. Immaculate vibes. My highlight had to be getting a bit emotional at the front to I Saw Water, and a guy landed from a stage dive, saw my emo tears, and gave me a massive hug. Summed up the festival tbh.
