Initially beginning as a celebration of hardcore and punk, Manchester’s Outbreak Fest has built a major platform to the UK’s consistently thriving counterculture, while also providing a rite of passage for major touring acts across the world such as Death Grips, Earl Sweatshirt, JPEGMAFIA and more to lay waste to stages in Britain. After announcing their plans to come to London for the very first time, Outbreak Fest today announce initial line ups and locations for their London and Manchester 2025 weekender events.

Starting with a one-day event in London’s Victoria Park as part of LIDO Festival series on the 13th June, this will be the biggest outdoor event led by hardcore acts that the UK’s ever had. London will play host to a varying line up that continues to push
Outbreak’s ethos of boundary-breaking music from across the counterculture; from contemporary icons to burgeoning stars of the future.

In London, hardcore crossover icons Turnstile will finally return for a one-off UK exclusive headline show, bringing with them a full discography of anthems from over a decade of operating at the pinnacle of the genre. Alongside them will be Pennsylvania
born alternative star Alex G, Kentucky metallic hardcore heroes Knocked Loose, off-kilter Detroit rap mainstay Danny Brown, Aria Award winning Australian crew SPEED, emo legends Sunny Day Real Estate, returning atmospheric-grunge titans
Superheaven as well as new age shoegaze acts julie and Fleshwater. They’ll be joined by the likes of Drug Church, Model/Actriz, They Are Gutting a Body of Water, Feeble Little Horse, Have A Nice Life, Kumo 99 and Have A Nice Life across four stages, with way more artists to be announced.
