Ahead of Goremageddon 2026 taking place at The Bread Shed in Manchester on 21st March, promoters Rancid Offal Promotions has revealed plans for both a pre-show and an official after-party, in what’s promising to be a full weekend of “absolute grind chaos.”
The pre-show takes place on 20th March at AATMA and will feature 55Gore, StuhlGäng, GRUNK, Hideous Crawling Abomination, Shoplifterz, Megafart and LARSxULRICH. Due to the venue’s capacity, tickets are already extremely limited.
The post-festival after-party will take place at Grand Central and is free to all ticket holders for the main Goremageddon 2026 event. It will feature live stunts from Merry’s Sideshow. In a shift from the musical assault, the after-party will offer a “very special and intimate experience,” and attendees can expect stomach-churning live stunts including The Human Blockhead, Wolf Trap and Mental Flossing, plus a DJ spinning the most chaotic tracks for the “party animals” left standing.
Rancid Offal Promotions, the team behind Goremageddon, said: “We wanted to make sure the 2026 edition wasn’t just a day of music, but a full weekend of insanity. The pre-show is a total grindhouse, and bringing Merry’s Sideshow into the mix for the after-party adds that extra layer of shock that the grind scene lives for. Tickets for the main event are already nearing 50% sold. We sold out last year, so don’t leave it too late to join the carnage.”
The main event on 21st March at The Bread Shed remains the weekend’s focal point, featuring a stacked international lineup led by Taiwanese gore overlords Fatuous Rump in an exclusive UK debut.
