[raincityhc]

Yeah as insane as you can imagine and more, unbelievable experience.

 

Band basically confirmed they'll be at outbreak next year and dropping a new album also in 2026.

They hinted towards it twice, one of the quotes was along the lines of start your own band and you might end up playing outbreak with them next year and the other one was like maybe we'll see you next year - who knows ?

 

Outbreak have also recently tweeted just 'Hatebreed'

The change of dates in Manchester implies that Outbreak's London show won't be in Victoria Park again. Alexandra Palace might be a better option as there are multiple rooms inside that venue. The ATP event in 2012 used the West Hall and Panaroma Room as well as the big room (Great Hall). Since then, they've restored the theatre so it's a perfect multi-room venue. 

 

Hum just announced dates in the US and they would be a dream booking for Outbreak. 

Lido appears to have pushed back its dates to later in June, judging by the Maribou State announcement. That implies Outbreak could still be in with a shot of reappearing as part of Lido on 26 June- unless Forever Now is taking the 'alternative day' slot as is rumoured?

Hatebreed self confirmed last night 

[losing43]

So with Hatebreed playing, any other hopes / expections?

 

I will be surprised if Haywire don’t play, I can also definitely see Turnover doing Peripheral Vision, Seahaven, Torture all doing it too

can see texas is the reason, hum, jawbreaker playing aswell for the non hardcore bands they like to get to play

[finn_with_1_n]

so this festival in Netherlands is on Outbreak weekend. Hatebreed are playing this one. so assuming they are at Outbreak, we could see some crossover. Converge - are they headline status? End It, Combust, Speedway, Fiddlehead all could appear

Think Outbreak has grown since Converge last headlined, could see them headlining the second stage though - Hoping they've got Alexisonfire, I imagine there's probably not too much difference in size between them and Knocked Loose these days?

[losing43]

Hatebreed nailed on, Basement could headline but too soon. Still unsure on that second headliner for next year, but yeah should expect Fiddlehead, I would say h09909 perhaps too?

[BlackFoxx]

Where would Alexisonfire play at Outbreak, do you think they'd have to headline?

With them headlining trees this year if they were to play outbreak headliner is the only option

[RedJosh]

Alexisonfire might be more likely as a headliner for Outbreak London as they have said they are going ahead with it again.

They’re big enough to headline Manchester but not London. My Bloody Valentine for London? 
 

Going for Alexisonfire and Hatebreed x Foundation as Manchester headliners.

Alexisonfire would be great at Outbreak. If they're not there I might have to try sell my ticket and go to Jera On Air instead. One of my favourite bands. 

[FxxxItFlowers]

alexisonfire would be a really good sub/second stage headliner for Manchester for the post hardcore legends slot they've been doing the last couple years I.e Thursday and Glassjaw, unsure if they'd be a headliner outright really despite their size

[FxxxItFlowers]

Considering outbreak themselves have tweeted out "a very special lineup" for the 15th anniversary, I reckon they are going to go all out, knocked loose are tbh bigger than Alexisonfire in the current scene

 

Even Converge I don't see headlining, I'm actually kind of expecting something crazy like a Converge into Dillinger Escape into Hatebreed on the Sunday, 

 

Saturday would likely have the "outsider" headliner that no one expects i.e alex g and slowdive this year, death grips in 2023

[FxxxItFlowers]

all that being said im happy if they get long goodbye and killing me softly back next year also!

 

Hum is my true dream however since they are reuniting in may next year

Could see converge subbing to hatebreed

Jane Doe 25th anniversary? 

[Andre91]

This would be pretty cool, I think: 

 

Alexisonfire / Touché Amoré (Stage Four) / Turnover (Peripheral Vision) 

 

Hatebreed x Converge (Jane Doe) / Foundation / DRAIN

London moving to August 2026. Will be the Deftones APE show under Outbreak branding you'd imagine.
