Goremageddon will return on 21 March 2026at a new Manchester venue, The Bread Shed, for a full day of grind. The festival will be headlined by Taiwanese gore heavyweights Fatuous Rump in what will be an exclusive UK debut.
2026’s line-up promises a full day of non-stop chaos, featuring a stacked bill of international and UK grindcore acts. Joining the headliners will be Belgian deathgrind legends, Brutal Sphincter, and Czech grindcore band, Carnal Diafragma, making their exclusive UK appearance, alongside American acts Mystery Meat and Fupa Goddess, who are both making their UK debuts.
Also performing will be VxPxOxAxAxWxAxMxC, Horsebastard, Cerebral Enema, Mincer, and Legislate Mortality. The 2025 fan-favourite, Lymphoedema, will also return to the stage.
Rancid Offal Promotions, the team behind Goremageddon and Offal Fest, said: “Goremageddon has rapidly become a staple in the Manchester scene, although it’s only had two iterations to date we’re seeing so many people so excited to attend again, hearing people attending from all over the world (three people came from Australia to the second one!) and attendees calling it “Manchester’s mini Obscene Extreme” is an absolute honour – We can’t wait to bring you all another day of pure grinding chaos”
Last year’s Goremageddon drastically exceeded expectations with tickets selling out and an insane crowd response. The 2025 event was headlined by legendary Japanese goregrind band Viscera Infest, who also made their exclusive UK debut. The lineup also included local Manchester band Pivorapist, Public Execution, Vast Slug, Priest Crippler, and one-man Irish gorenoise newcomer, Lymphoedema.
