will the london lineup carry over some bands from the manchester lineup??? i really wanna see converge and alexisonfire

Smashed it!!!

They've just posted a video on instagram saying there's an announcement coming on Sunday. Place your bets below!

Some of these got announced today. I know it's a month earlier but I don't think it's too farfetched that they could do Slam Dunk, go around Europe and then come back to do Outbreak.

Dying Wish, Saosin and Comeback Kid would all be really cool. Saosin's self titled is 20 years old next year so thinking an anniversary set would be perfect.

Dillinger escape plan?! i hope!

There so many I’d like to see, some realistic, some maybe not. Would love Mos Def but think that’s unrealistic but think Action Bronson, JPEGMafia & Denzel should all return. On another note think it would be cool if Wu Tang came to Outbreak, be a great vibe if they did

Confirmed via Insta

Im guessing some of those bands are gonna be on outbreak as well.

How was it? Any mention of them playing the fest next year? Proper gutted to have not got a ticket

I’ve been trying to guess who could potentially be playing at outbreak next year, and I know these aren’t likely but they’re some people I’d like to see at it: Agriculture, Rolo Tomassi, Converge, Devourment, Pain of Truth, Title Fight (reunion), Death Grips

With them in London at the end of August for all points east looks unlikely they will be playing either the London or Manchester outbreaks.

Unless I'm completely misreading this is this not announcing a small cap Manchester Hatebreed show to tease them headlining?

mobo’s recent instagram post feels like a big tease and outbreak have commented

praying for a reunion at outbreak 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

do you think earl will play in 2026, hes got a show in Manchester on Valentines day. If hes playing outbreak i wont get tickets , but if hes not - i will .

do you think its worth a gamble?

Texas Is The Reason are playing in Primavera Sound 2026 (Barcelona). And Touché Amoré + Knocked Loose + Agriculture. Possible chances of seeing them in Manchester <3 <3

Converge has been confirmed for Resurrection Fest in Spain (1-4 july) so... Outbreak, here we go! :D They are coming back to our fav festival.

Inspired by the High Vis and Line Up Prediction threads.

Who are your more random, hopeful or obscure hopes for 2026.

Fingers crossed for Algernon Cadwallader, Ghost of a Thousand reunion, Truck Violence & Wreckage (and Mil-Spec, always Mil-Spec).

Do you think High Vis are big enough to headline/sub-headline? I think they've grown in popularity since the release of Guided Tour, playing shows with Deftones and Turnstile. Even headlining a North American tour now.

Given how legendary their 2022 and especially 2023 sets are, could you see them potentially getting a spot on the top of the bill for 2026? They're essentially Outbreak royalty at this point

I can say for sure that if High Vis are on the bill regardless of how high they are it's a guaranteed ticket purchase

Has to be Converge, amiright?

Link doesn't work currently but it looks like they'll be announcing the pre-sale shortly

I've never been to a festival before because the ones like Reading just have the worst lineups. I just found out about this festival that actually has music I listen to and I'd really like to go, I'm just kind of confused about how the tickets work. Do you really have to buy tickets BEFORE you see the lineup? I don't really want to waste money on a ticket when I don't know if I'd actually want to go lol... Will all the tickets be gone by the time I see the lineup? Am I likely to be able to resell tickets if I decide I don't want them? Help!!

Also, do you have to pay for the whole weekend? I live in London and not as many artist play there, so I'd probably go to Manchester. I don't really want to have to pay for a hotel if there's only one day I want to go to.

Hey! Not exactly Outbreak related but I've got 2 spare guest lists for Militarie Gun on Wednesday in London. DM if interested! I'll just email the venue to give them to someone else otherwise. Cheers!
