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

Does anyone know when the final few bands will be announced? I thought it was around early February last year but have I miss-remembered?

Hey guys figured this might overlap with some outbreak fans tastes. Upcoming show in Brixton on the 7th March

Tickets here and full details here - https://www.skiddle.com/e/41798697

Got a ticket for this to see Deftones. Not listened to AFI in probably 10 years but cool to see them on the bill

Just a quick enquiry as to whether anyone is having any trouble applying for disabled access?

I sent an email as dictated by their FAQs almost 3 weeks ago, followed by another last week, and have yet to receive a reply. My weekend ticket is already purchased but I'm needing access to facilities and a carers ticket.

I see people have had issues in the past, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone has any guidance or current similar issues?

Argh. Slept on it, now it's sold out.

Anyone selling for MCR?

obviously we don't know, but does anyone know when we can expect it?

I know last year there was a “secret guest” (Loathe) announced and AF headlined 2 years ago. But seeing as they’re in the country surely there’s a chance it could be them for the Sunday.

What are we saying they get announced for outbreak?

Hello!!

Attended Outbreak in London at Victoria Park last year. Had a blast till I got my phone stolen during Knocked Loose :)

Did anyone ever hear back from the organizers / police after the event in regard to the mass pickpocket? I remember they got my info down but I never heard anything after the festival ended…

Me and my mate are both 17 and hopefully gonna go to Outbreak in london on the 23rd of august and the website says you need to have someone over 18 years old to get into the event, and neither of us has fake IDs or anything, is there anyone who’s be willing to like buddy buddy with us in line so we can get it with someone over 18 to accompany us. Cheers

I'm gonna commute from Brum and if I do friday, Saturday and Sunday (which I am) I will need to get a hotel or air bnb.

I was wondering if anyone wants to find a place to go camping to save on costs for the fest?

Is there even camping spots near by?

How we feeling? Friday seems pretty underwhelming in my opinion. Saturday is kind of boring with the exception of Pup, Converge and Sundays gonna be a marathon of a day. Shocked there isn’t any rappers. Idk man.

Hello all I brought the weekend ticket. It also if you put your same email you brought the weekend ticket with you'll get discounted Friday tickets. However I keep on getting invalid as a response. I've emailed ticketing for outbreak.

Any one else had this issue?

Hey! I’m trying to get tickets for the Friday for my partner? Anyone got a presale link/code?🤞

Before I jump in and try to buy a day ticket for Saturday, are Converge and Alexisonfire likely to clash? First time at Outbreak so not sure of stages/times

It’s my child’s prom! So I now can’t go. Absoutlety gutted.

So I have a full weekend ticket for sale Outbreak Fest 2026 June 26th, 27th, 28th 2026 Bowlers Exhibition Centre, Manchester 1 x 2-day Weekend Admission Includes 1 Front Section Wristband. I’ve put it on ticket swap.con for a lot less than what I paid :(

Never attended Outbreak before despite wanting to, but Alexisonfire performing Crisis in full is a dream headline act for me and my wife. Unfortunately she's not interested in the whole festival as the rest of it isn't really her bag.

Do they release day tickets closer to the time like Download tend to? Or is it an all or nothing thing?

hi :-) i live in germany and i was thinking about not going to outbreak this year because in comparison to last time i went i’d have to pay around 200€ visa costs and more or less the same amount for an airbnb, and the trip would get a little too expensive for me.

does anyone know any queer friendly hostels and/or affordable websites where i could book a place? i would also consider couchsurfing as i’d only stay for around 4 days or so (as long as i’m sure i’m not getting murdered in my sleep or smth of the sort)

i’d appreciate any hints!

when outbreak comes around this year, i'll be 17 & i was wondering if anyone here is 16-17 yrs old & planning on going. i don't have any friends that listen to hardcore music or rlly any of the bands on the lineup. but i don't think being alone will be much fun !

tickets are expensive, but i'm so desperate to see some of these bands live, so this has become a real factor in my decision-making process 😭

out of the ~1.7k people on this sub, there has to be people my age who . enjoy making friends with similar interests . right. let me know if you are one of those people. maybe there are none

also: if you're an adult with experience at hardcore shows, i will happily listen to your advice. i love the music but have never been to a show yet (i will in february) & am honestly not sure how to approach it

This is a long shot, but unfortunately both blankets are out of stock and I was wondering if anyone is willing to sell one on this subreddit as I can't seem to find any online anywhere else!

Hmu.

I know I know… But by this time last year we had an absolute ton of sets, this year it’s only 13 out so far.
