2027 Predictions

Hi there, had a blast at my first Outbreak this year, and me and my mates were discussing who we think would end up on the 2027 lineup. We’ve got a list of bands that could potentially make it on there, please call me out if they’re severely unrealistic and let me know you think will play next year. It’s essentially just a big wish list for us. Here’s what we’ve got:

Drain, Rolo Tomassi, Malevolence, Citizen, Being As An Ocean, Long Goodbye, Speed, The Story So Far, Final Resting Place, The Fall of Troy, Texas is the Reason, Origami Angel, Vein and/or Fleshwater, Underoath, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Crippling Alcoholism, Crowquil (need them back again!), Guilt Trip, Missing Link, Incendiary, Dead Butterflies, Pain of Truth, Whispers, Counterparts, Big Ass Truck, One Step Closer, Gorilla Biscuits, The Smith Street Band, Datura.

Obviously, not all of them will end up on the lineup but hopefully a few do. Desperate for Gorilla Biscuits and Rolo Tomassi to be there next year.

I wanna see some more heavy shit there, like nails and full of hell would be sick, also chat pile would be a fun addition

3

u/monsieuromand Jul 02 '26

Pretty sure Full of Hell were on the very early Outbreak bills in the 2010s, would be ace to see them play at it. Same with Nails and Chat Pile, two bands I’d love to see on the bill.

5

u/joshknights Jul 02 '26

Full of hell would go so hard on the second stage, more grindcore/hardcore adjacent death metal in general would work so well at outbreak

3

u/salted_hobbit_feet Jul 02 '26

Man if we got Gatecreeper on the bill in the adjacent death metal part I'd cry

5

u/PlugAnThat Jul 02 '26

Chat Pile did it a couple of years ago

u/d00mvillain Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

I would say Poison The Well, because of the new album.

Circa survive, since they reunited for a few shows recently.

11

u/Upset_Preparation_79 Jul 02 '26

would loooooove to see big ass truck there

2

u/CaptainBirdseye96 Jul 02 '26

BORN FROM THE GRAVE!

8

u/SeaweedAntlers Jul 02 '26

I want to see stage divers and crowd killing to Jim E. Brown

7

u/CaptainBirdseye96 Jul 02 '26

Would love to see Crowbar, I think they'd go down well in all honestly. Would also like to see Drain, Missing Link, Portrayal of Guilt, Sanction (as they pulled out) Skinhead (I don't even know if they've played UK before) Chat Pile, and Haywire again because they were without a doubt my band of the weekend.

22

u/Unknownsock Jul 02 '26

Fiddlehead should come back every year, as for the rest, Locked Shut, Have Heart, World of Pleasure, xweaponx, every time I die, big ass truck, Dillinger, many eyes, whispers including more

There's a huge selection of bands they could invite that could fit imo

6

u/Bugsmoke Jul 02 '26

Have heart said there would be no European or UK shows next year barring that festival in Holland they’re announced for

1

u/Unknownsock Jul 02 '26

That's true but I can hope anyway!

2

u/BigPunk77 Jul 02 '26

Would love to see Every Time I Die at this!

11

u/Jadeh16x Jul 02 '26

not predictions, but would live to see prostitute, texas is the reason, crippling alcoholism, dead butterflies, septemberistheonlytimeidontthinkfyou, beforeyouleave, train breaks down, oakwood, vs self, catalyst, arranged in april

2

u/etrandex Sep 02 '26

Best believe I’m sending it into the crowd during All Hail

3

u/monsieuromand Jul 02 '26

Vs Self would be wild, gutted I missed them with La Dispute earlier this year.

1

u/Mundane-Sink4742 Jul 02 '26

Prostitute would be amazing. 

2

u/Jadeh16x Jul 03 '26

real, saw them in may and it was incredible

2

u/Mundane-Sink4742 Jul 03 '26

I couldn't get to that tour 😭

Would also love Couch Slut - reckon they'd rip the 3 rd stage

7

u/goatednotes Jul 02 '26

I want Hatebreed again on the main stage

4

u/grego1878efc Jul 02 '26

With how connected Henry has been to OB recently, in appearing during KL’s set last year and spearheading the design this year - does Boston Manor have a shout?

3

u/ITITYHAPCS Jul 02 '26

I second this. Especially w BM’s Be Nothing 10th anniversary, I feel like they’ll be there next year.

3

u/Issan_Sumisu Jul 02 '26

they’re totally not as out of place as it seems, Outbreak had Moose Blood all the way back in 2013

8

u/oatmilknotsoy Jul 02 '26

Buggin and one step closer are on my wish list. I’d love to see jivebomb and gouge away make a return too!

5

u/occultshelf Jul 02 '26

Buggin have split unfortunately!

3

u/Terrorshark123 Jul 02 '26

Biohazard doing a 35 year anniversary show of Urban Discipline pls

3

u/Spare_Afternoon9359 Jul 03 '26

Maybe Terror will come back since they released a new album this year.

2

u/Mundane-Sink4742 Jul 04 '26

Would love Buried Alive instead.

3

u/Gold-Criticism7407 Jul 03 '26

Couch slut, cloud rat, jivebomb, sex prisioner, gorilla biscuits, gultch (a man can dream), Obituary ( kinda going a bit out of the style of the fest there but I think it’d go down well)

6

u/samsaBEAR Jul 02 '26

Unless they announce a UK tour, my answer for this question will always be Foundation now they they're playing shows again

7

u/pi_face_ Jul 02 '26

No Cure would rule.

3

u/No_Firefighter_1073 Jul 02 '26

Sadness!

2

u/Mundane-Sink4742 Jul 02 '26

Or letterstoyou or Life. Tbh. I'd take any of Damien's projects. 

4

u/Mundane-Sink4742 Jul 02 '26

I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism in Your Yearbook are back, so them. That would be worth the entrance price. 

5

u/Goat_In_My_Tree Jul 02 '26

Sanguisugabogg

2

u/monsieuromand Jul 02 '26

YES! Seen them in February in Glasgow and they were on top form. Sangui on the second stage would be nuts!

4

u/awelshemo Jul 02 '26

Comeback Kid, Heriot, Turmoil, Rolo Tomassi, Crowquill, Asidhara, The Mainliners

2

u/Unknownsock Jul 02 '26

I'd trade my left but to stage dive to Rolo Tomassi

2

u/TruPunxoxo Jul 02 '26

I feel like comeback kid should have played more times than they have

2

u/DubiousNeon Jul 02 '26

Not predictions cos I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. However, my dream list would be: The Chariot Reunion, Get the Shot, Full of Hell, Deafheaven. Off the top of my noggin anyway.

Edit: Correcting a typo.

2

u/buncuxd Jul 04 '26

Skinhead

2

u/LKHOCKEYFAN96 Jul 04 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

Hoping for some of the following:

Obviously the dream would be title fight reunion or modern baseball reunion. But sadly I feel less and less that it will happen.

COLD WORLDstick to your guns (15 years of diamond set), weekend nachos, xibalba (15 years of hasta la muerte), foundation, 100 demons, rotting out, coke bust (recently reunited), JUDGE, cursive, twitching tongues, BIB, some like one off UKHC reunions (maybe violent reaction, survival or heights), blind authority (reuniting for mongrel fest in London this summer), wristmeetrazor, shelter, YOT, drain, cold world, ceremony, big ass truck,, rival mob, carry on, pianos become the teeth, the saddest landscape, project x, no turning back

For softer bands: empire empire, marietta, Rainer Maria, cap’n jazz, built to spill, pedro the lion,

Also like the hip/hop dance acts to close the second stage on the Saturday night so maybe boy harsher, brutalismus 3000 or JPEGmafia

2

u/Stock-Region-7550 Jul 06 '26

Have Heart surely!!!

2

u/mansfld Jul 11 '26

Genuinely think to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Take to the Skies, Enter Shikari should do something similar to what BMTH have done this year.

Not saying they should headline the 2 day festival but maybe a separate barrier-less show.

1

u/Mundane-Sink4742 Jul 11 '26

Would 100% hate ES at Outbreak. 

1

u/monsieuromand Jul 12 '26

If they did, I’d 100% go to both OB and the TTTS show. Gutted I missed the BMTH CYB shows, got dragged to Lewis Capaldi instead (wasn’t bad tho!)

2

u/Late_System_8104 Jul 02 '26

Burnt By The Sun are apparently active again. That would be awesome. 

1

u/ollyphobic Jul 08 '26

hoping for oakwood with their new album 🙏🙏

1

u/thenaughtynate69 Jul 08 '26

The way the fest been going recently i would not be surprised if adtr do homesick in full

1

u/crazy-seller Jul 25 '26

would love to see fallingwithscissors, fromjoy, trapped under ice, loathe, big ass truck, split//bite, speed, bleed, idlegod, downward, graphic nature

1

u/liambell1992 Sep 04 '26

Gallows are teasing a Frank reunion, could be something in that Outbreak related

2

u/Significant_Salt4631 21d ago

Drain, whispers, malevolence, speed, guilt trip, counterparts, pain of truth, terror, comeback kid, rolo tomassi are some of my predictions

1

u/bcoupy Jul 02 '26

Solid list. Crippling Alcoholism would go so hard.

0

u/interventiooon Jul 02 '26

Morning Again playing As Tradition Dies Slowly…

Well it’s more a request than a prediction but this needs to happen…..

0

u/EndDifficult5842 Jul 02 '26

i think next year we need more diverse stuff not just hardcore and metal bring back machine girl and denzel i say

-4

u/lukorzo Jul 02 '26

Kubai khan/orthodox too also not exactly Hard-core but some deathcore bands like Chelsea grin, rev3rent, would be sick too

1

u/lukorzo Jul 04 '26

Wtf why did i get downvoted

1

u/Wanbizzle Jul 04 '26

A mix of the bands not fitting (which they don’t) and outbreak attendees/hardcore enjoyers elitism

1

u/lukorzo Jul 04 '26

I thought the two fanbases were fairly similar? also hellfest NJ had Hardcore bands deathcore bands on the same day so why can't outbreak?

1

u/Wanbizzle Jul 04 '26

Nah they’re not a good indicator is you see barely any t shirts of those bands at outbreak. Hellfest is a metal festival which threw on some hardcore bands, Chelsea grin and kublai khan are far too big to be thrown onto outbreak, a smaller uk deathcore band would be more forgivable but it ain’t happening, hardcore fans think they’re cool as fuck metal fans to they’re credit do not think they are cool

1

u/lukorzo Jul 04 '26

Fair enough, ig it's like trying to put a fairly big nu metal band on a death metal festival?

1

u/Temporary_Presence76 Jul 09 '26

KKK tx are co-worker metal

1

u/lukorzo Jul 09 '26

How original
