Tickets for next year’s edition, with events in London and Manchester, will go on sale this Friday.

Outbreak Festival will return for summer 2025 with weekender events in London – for the first time – and Manchester.

Events will kick off with a one-day festival in London’s Victoria Park, as part a series by LIDO Festival on 13 June. Celebrating counterculture and the ever-growing hardcore scene, it will be the largest outdoor event led by hardcore artists ever in the UK.

The programme lives up to expectations, with Turnstile announced to headline with a one-off performance, and highlight sets from Alex G, Danny Brown, SPEED, and former Crack Magazine cover stars Knocked Loose. Elsewhere on the line-up, artists currently announced include Momma, Have A Nice Life, Drug Church, Model/Actriz and more.

A two-day event in Manchester will follow on 14 and 15 June, with a similarly packed programme.

Tickets for both events go on sale on Outbreak’s website this Friday 29 November, with pre-sale available to those who signed up to the Outbreak mailing list on Thursday 28 November at 10am.
