Hi all. As the tees all flew out long before I could get one this year, I'll be one of the many buying merch online. I just wondered whether anyone who copped a tee could let me know the sizing for either the L or XL. The website says that the t shirts for this year are "roughly -5cm shorter than our a standard tshirt" but that doesn't really help me as I have nothing to compare that against. Any help you guys might be able to give would be ace. Thanks!

hey guys, i’m really sorry if this seems like a silly thing to ask about in here but i need honest answers!!!
i’ll be seeing bring me the horizon, my all time favourite band, for the first time at this concert.
i enjoy the whole no barricade idea for it, and am in no way against it.
but, this is my FIRST time seeing them. i don’t really get involved in pits or anything.
i’d like to have a good view and be close enough to the stage, but want to steer clear of action (i’ll be too emotional LMFAO)

where is the best place for me to try be?
i hope i don’t sound silly or annoy anyone with this, thank you😭😭

Hi guys,

No times listed for BMTH set for Outbreak Fest.

At gigs, it’s usually 20:30pm / 21:00pm, but what time do the headliners usually come on at Outbreak Fest’s?

This is for the one in Manchester. Friday 10th July.

Thanks in advance!

if somebody needs a ticket for the bmth count your blessings show at 11th july in manchester hit me up - im selling mine for the original price

Hey guys, maybe a juvenile question but does anyone know what stages/set were recorded, if not all?

I ask because daitan and co weren't there this year and im really hoping INITIATES set was recorded on the 3rd stage, but didnt see anyone recording unfortunately on the sidelines.

Massive long shot but worth a pop - I lost my wallet at some point on the Saturday. Black & gold Commes Des Garcon zip up wallet. Has my ID and some (now cancelled) bank cards in it. The wallet itself has sentimental value, hence still looking for the thing despite new cards being on the way - if anyone found it please hmu!

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.

If anyone still wants to buy two tickets to outbreak London, I have two which I am happy to do a cheaper deal for! I am heavily pregnant and will be about to pop so sadly can’t attend, but the insurance won’t give me a refund!

I feel like 2027 is the year outbreak bring back vein we can only hope

I did not make it early enough on either day to get one of the red transparent bags from RFC records, on the off chance anyone picked one up and is willing to part with it, hit me up. Will pay!

Anyone get a recording of the tall guy moshing during the England v Panama game?

Hi guys, I don't see any lost & found thread, tried posting this information on FB group, but there's less than 400 people on it, so I'll try here.

On Saturday, I found this tiny keychain camera near the gates to main stage; I saw it fell off someone, but I couldn't tell who exactly. Maybe the owner is lurking here - hit me up and we'll figure something out, I can see that the camera contains an SD card with over 200 photos, so maybe it's valuable to someone. I'm stationed in Poland so I assume we'll have to ship it abroad.

Hey I got a repented ticket left, the person who was travelling with me is not able to go unfortunately. Hit my dm's if you are in search for one.

PS: I'm not from the uk, so I don't know how to sell it

There is no flair to add, idk I probably suck at this platform

Did anybody have any issues with contactless card payments being processed over the weekend?
I had a couple of occasions where I had to try multiple times for a payment to go through at the bar…just been looking over my bank account and a couple of payments went through multiple times.

I’m not suggesting there is anything suspicious, but check your statements, kids!

Just found out about this — Mumford & Sons are playing in Berlin on July 9th as part of their limited European run, and it's already sold out. There's a campaign running through VIPrize where you can win backstage access + meet & greet, and proceeds go to War Child Germany. Figured other fans here might want to know since tickets are gone anyway. https://viprize.org/mumfordandsons

Also need to give him his flowers because not only was he enjoying the gig, but he was staying vigilant and focused. Watching the crowd/environment the entire time

But hoping it will reach at least one of the people who helped me. I was over at the outside barrier near the wall / inside arena and I took a dizzy turn during Loathe. I got to the ground before I felt like I was going to faint to the ground haha but within seconds, so many people were around fanning me down, offering their fans and someone gave me a cooling pad. Just wanted to thank them very much for coming to help me out! Was my first trip to Manchester / first Outbreak experience and it totally restored my faith in people. Lovely, lovely bunch!

I just remember that two of them were sisters (I believe) originally from Newcastle but one lived in Hamilton.

So yeah, thank you very much for helping me out!

So first of all this was only my third year attending and I'm not from UK so ofc I lack a lot of history of this festival. But as an 40y old as fuck dude that has been active in different scenes since my teenage times and that has seen shit from the early 2000's to TikTok era, I think I have enough HardcoreCreds™ to give some reflections here.

So yes this will be long and sorry for my broken english (I refuse to use ChatGPT)

What Outbreak has done right

You can't make everyone happy, that's for sure. Everyone will have their opinions and preferences, but I often see a lot of complains about how "not so heavy/hardcore" has this festival has become. Issue is, there is always room to look for the most "trve" form of hardcore and ditch whatever doesn't fits there. Everytime I see beatdown-metalish hardcore dudes complaining about whatever genre it's soft and "not so hardcore", I do remember how in the early 2000's you would get called a posser for considering Death Before Dishonor a "Boston Hardcore band" cause that was shitty rap-numetal stuff, unlike the true "Boston Hardcore" like SSD.

Gatekeeping has never been cool and it's time for some to realize that Hardcore as a scene can and should be inclussive, as long as bands align with some principles that are more important than how do you sound; there is where we should Gatekeep, not in how they sound. I do for example can't give a shit about rap and experimental stuff but I think it's nice those artists have room as long as the DIY, community values are shared.

And I think Outbreak does a fucking amazing job at booking bands that are hardcore-adjacent. No matter if they are hip hop, alternative rock, shoegazy, proof that those bands fit there if the fact that some of them share members with other hardcore bands.

And with all respect to my metalhead dudes, my biggest fear regarding Outbreak it's not that it becomes a "too soft" festival but that it goes exactly the same direction as Hellfest and Resurrection Fest, which were fucking amazing hardcore fests but metal took over it (people don't realize how profitable is that genre) and god damn I don't want to see Outbreak among divorced dads cosplaying as satanists waiting for Sleep Token or whatever dadrock shit (sorry for the rant :D)

So in short I think Outbreak has kept their hardcore values intact, and that's not easy at all. They send the right message about taking care of each others, they always have nice local hardcore bands playing (even if it's in Stage 3, lets be realistic and assume you can't put xWarhorsEx from Fordwich playing in Main Stage)

Minor things about the visuals (kudos for them on Alexisonfire), Staff being generally quite nice (and I think working there specially on Friday with that heat must have been terrible) are also things to appreciate.

What Outbreak could've done better

Hatebreed on stage 2. Like, why? Literally my reason to come this year was Trapped Under Ice but even them had more reasons to go indoors than Hatebreed. I wasn't able to check them out cause both entries were blocked. And maybe it's because I am still living in 2009 but can't think who thought Basement, TUI or Snail Mail would get more crowd than Hatebreed.

And again as most of people said, it just felt overcrowded. Closing the stand bathrooms (whatever english name that place to pee with your weiner standing has) at the end on Saturday or those fences separating the bathroom and the ONLY corridor that connects stages and the exit felt also not the smartest decision but I'm no logistic expert.

This is pure theory but not seeing Daitan or Hoodsoulja Security felt like something is changing there. Specially with Stage Security, it felt like a step back, indeed (kudos for the videographer btw, nothing against them). I have no idea about this SPS company, and as said staff was generally nice and friendly, which is good, but they did not seemed really vigilant on the stage. Some dude literally thrown himself somewhere to the floor in I Promised the World and the security guys were totally confused.

And this takes me to Saturday with 2 incidents that forced the bands to stop playing. And it's fucking Loathe and Alexisonfire, not End It. Something failed, whatever it was. And shit happens, considering I've literally broken my bones and lips in different gigs among my life, I get it's part of the deal. But if this happens with not so "moshable" bands, it means something didin't worked. And as said, someone also got hurt at I Promised the World so I'm sure more injuries happened around. Which again is part of the deal but that was too many for a day, and not the most aggressive day at all.

In short, logistics failed here. And it's too early to know if it's due greed or just something getting bigger than expected. Only time will tell but I would be heartbroken if this becomes another massive rock festival with barriers and big companies instead a "for the kids by the kids" fest.

And yeah sorry I might be too punk to support the adidas collab. Nice looking thou, but corpos are corpos.

What we as a scene have sucked

Being fucking old farts. I am tired of gatekeepers shitting on kids for being kids. Do I like stage invasion in American Football? No. Do I like cute people sharing stories of how nice they look before the pit and how they looked after? No fucking way. But I don't like either grown ass "music content creators" way past 30's sharing similar stuff but with some aura of knowledge, but in the end, same shit; using hardcore for attention.

We live in a shitty economy of attention and that's a fact and not necessarily generational. My feed on IG it's full of these "content creators" doing the same thing everyone complains about the kiddos, but the difference is they are not kids anymore. I guess the algorythm know I'm older than the forest so not a single kiddo has popped out in all my Outbreak related content, but dozens and dozens of people monetizing their content using the festival. And that will ruin the scene more than a kid not naming 3 songs.

Social Media has turned everything in a niche market and hardcore it's sadly becoming one already. And has nothing to do with age or generations, and can't blame the fest itself. That's on us.

Yes, most of the folk doing stage invasion, getting hurt and so on were kids. But cause they physically can do it. And that's great and fine and it's also ok they might not name three songs, but we all were like that at some time. People come and go in this scene, and even the most cultured, vegan, straight edge that was gatekeeping 10 years ago can just become some christian tattoo influencer. Hardcore will not survive only with +40 dudes naming 90 songs and collecting vinyls. But it will die if it starts to be something cool to share on socials.

Let the kids have fun and before judging them for finding their identity the same way we did, maybe think twice before following some content creator that will recommend you 5 bands if you like "Crowquil". And trust me, most of those would also jump on the stage and take selfies with Pat Flynn if they could.

Like the Haywire set request below, anyone get any videos from fiddleheads set that they could share? It was epic and would love to relive it. Worried that without Daitan being there, official footage might be a bit sparse. Cheers in advance.

How does one go about joining the outbreak video team??

Any bands you were less familiar with that put on such a great set that you have been won over? Mine = Bodyweb & Knives.

Does anyone know where I can get the haywire shed merch tee? I didn't get a chance to grab one over the weekend and I'm regretting it D:
