Manchester’s Outbreak Festival has grown from a 100 capacity, single day event in its first year in 2011, Finding its roots in hardcore and punk, the festival has built a platform to the UK’s thriving scene, while also providing a rite of passage for major touring acts across the world such as Turnstile, Terror, Death Grips, Gorilla Biscuits and more to lay waste to stages in the UK. Today, Outbreak Festival announces their 2024 line up; a return to the 5,000 capacity Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester from 28th – 30th June 2024.

Building on last year’s diversification of programming, Friday’s line up will be completed by explosive rap experimentalist JPEGMAFIA, Flatbush Zombies, experimental rock duo The Garden, emerging underground king Redveil, and Oakland-based afrofuturist King Isis.

Returning to Outbreak after a triumphant set in 2022, festival favourites Basement will bring their anthemic brand of alternative rock to headline proceedings in 2024, with a relentlessly cross-genre line up featuring the likes of Soccer Mommy, Show Me The Body, Poison The Well, Angel Du$t, Mannequin Pussy, Ceremony, Touché Amoré, Movements, Incendiary, Mindforce and more.

Outbreak 2024 will also provide space for nostalgia, with a handpicked selection of artists delving into their back catalogue for performances that celebrate seminal works. Joyce Manor will commemorate the 10 year anniversary of Never Hungover Again, Nothing will perform 2014’s Guilty Of Everything, The Hotelier will shine a spotlight on a decade of Home, Like Noplace Is There, and post-hardcore legends Thursday will perform a set comprised of tracks from two of their most celebrated works, War All The Time and Full Collapse.

As always, Outbreak will also pay tribute to the future of the scene in 2024, with a hugely exciting roster of burgeoning talent from across the world taking to the stage. Baltimore hardcore icons in waiting End It, Leeds’ genre-fluid four-piece Bodyweb, US dream-pop luminaries crushed and Glasgow’s Demonstration Of Power all feature amongst a non-stop programme of present and future stalwarts of countercultural music.

Now lauded as one of the UK’s premier access points for progressive music in all forms, Outbreak Festival is a celebration of all things subversive within contemporary music. Complete with a line up that broadly represents the diverse tastes of youth culture, at Outbreak Festival, nothing is off limits; leading to one of the most explosive weekends in the UK’s live calendar.
