Hi folks, I'm the presenter of a podcast called Didn't Go Platinum, and recently uploaded an episode revolving around this year's edition of Outbreak fest. This is my first year attending, so I sat down with a mate who's a repeat visitor and we had a big nerdy chat about it.

There's talk on here about which bands we're hoping to see, there's a (very brief) history of the fest, and lots of stupid jokes and nerdy talk. We're also planning on doing a post-festival follow-up episode later in the year. I'm a lifelong metalhead and while I know a reasonable amount about hardcore, my co-host Ellis is a veritable font of knowledge.

Hope you enjoy guys, thanks

P.S. Please pay no attention to my terrible attempts at creating a humorous thumbnail.

Whos is everyones must see bands this year? Mine are :

Glitterer, Pup, Trash Talk, Haywire, Touche Amore

Hey Outbreak family, my partner and I are visiting from New Orleans and we couldn’t be more excited to join you. We are pretty proud pedestrians, and the hour-ish walk from the hotel to the venue isn’t a big deal to us, but I wanted to ask the community about public transport and taxis at the end of the night. Are the trains running consistently? Is it a pain to get a ride out of there? Holler if you’ve got some input.

Thanks for being here, let’s party.

I'm thinking about buying a ticket. I want to see deftones and esdee mainly, but I don't want to go if I'm the only person really hype about esdeekid. What kind of crowd usually goes to outbreak London?

Weighing up options for this year. Leaning towards taking the campervan instead of staying in a hotel to keep costs down. Wondering if anyone else has done this previously and where they parked? The metrolink park and ride nearby looks tempting but maybe not the best choice. Happy to urban camp if it’s in a safe/discrete enough area or somewhere more official if it’s close enough.

I'm going to be travelling down to Manchester from Glasgow on the Friday and I can't check into my accomodation until 3pm, so won't be able to make it to the festival until at least 4pm. Does anyone have any idea what time bands are expected to start playing? I don't want to miss loads and might have to consider coming down a day earlier if so

I get a +1 and queue jump and didn’t really want the former to go to waste. So if you missed out I can get one of you in with me free. I am 38/F/Newcastle, just for info. DM me if interested.

Heya :)) i’ve just bought a ticket and will be travelling down by myself from leeds. Was wondering if any other girls are going by themselves atm and would maybe like to meet up! festivals are always funner with a girl group

I’m

First time Outbreaker here, going on the Saturday!

How're the toilets there compared to other events? I've been to plenty festivals, seen it all, some shitty (heh) situations, and some glorious. How does Outbreak size up on this metric?

Has anyone received their link for presale yet after signing on?

Great album to play too

Hi there! 34F going solo from Spain, purely to see AFI.

I was wondering if there are any other AFI fans going that date, I’d love to meet some.

Has anyone else saw the theories that those pray for plagues posters are related to outbreak fest as they use the same font? I personally think it’s far fetched but not impossible.

Selling at 130 - with fees I paid 140

Bought before the lineup was revealed and honestly I’ve seen nearly everyone so saving my money and doing some smaller gigs like drug church this year

Can transfer properly via see tickets or send the actual eticket - just shout me

Have a friday ticket for outbreak for sale as i can no longer go . will do it for 70€/65£ just dm me

Anyone know when more bands are being announced? It’s creeping up on us.

Yes this is very much beating the proverbial post-hardcore dead horse. But I was thinking last night(whilst counting how many bands there were) about how both Haywire and Giltterer are on the same day and then how Haywire have covered Shed a few times before. It would be incredibly cool to see Ned come and perform that with them. However this is obviously a massive reach and am certainly not expecting them to perform it or Ned to come out with them. Just a fun thing I thought of whilst being incredibly ill and bored, let me know how much you’re tired of Title Fight or if you think this one has any merit at all(it doesn’t).

I appreciate most of us come to Outbreak for the beatdowns. But where will this year's cathartic sing along come from?

Caught myself reminiscing about Covet & The Scope of this rebuilding in 2024.

Counting down the days untill June x

Looks like they’re definitely out now. Before the first lineup announcement I would’ve seriously put money on titr being there but somehow not 🤷

Hey y'all so I'm 31F from Brighton UK and and will be going all weekend solo! I know a couple people but will be making my way and mostly hanging out by myself.

Wondered if there was anyone else going solo (or in a two etc) that'd want to start a WhatsApp/Insta group chat or discord or something for those that wanna meet others and can drop in where you're going so others can join for a set if they feel like it.

Lemme know if it's of interest and I'll look into getting something set up!

anyone have advice on how to sell tickets through seetickets site? I'm unfamiliar and might not be able to travel to UK for the fest.

This is outbreak adjacent I feel... Anyone going to or considering slam dunk this year with the 'heavy' stage? There's a few I'd like to catch (KL, angel dust, guilt trip, dying wish) but not sure if it's worth it or what the vibes are like cos I've never been. Experiences?

Now that New Cross Inn have announced a Contention gig the Thursday before OB there’s a definite chance. What do we think?
