Offal Fest, the UK’s premier event for grind, slam, and brutal death metal, will take place at a new venue, The Bread Shed in Manchester from 24th -26th July 2026.
The first set of bands has been announced and it features a mix of established and rising acts in the extreme metal scene.
Scottish brutal death metal band Laceration, who formed in 2009, will bring their sound honed from their debut album Severing The Divine Iniquity. Also from the UK is London-based brutal death metal band Twitch Of The Death Nerve, who formed in 2004. From the Czech Republic, the brutal death metal band Epicardiectomy is known for their “squealing, slamming blast-storm”, their name being a surgical procedure. The Greek three-piece brutal death metallers Embryectomy will bring their version of extreme to the Offal stage. Hailing from Glasgow, five-piece death metal band Scordatura has been active since 2008 and has developed a tight and technical sound. Veteran US brutal death metal band Lividity, who have been active since 1993 and known for their “perversity” will also be performing. There will also be the long awaited reunion of Infected Disarray, a UK brutal death metal band. Manchester newcomers Disgracing, who made their live debut at 2025’s Offal Fest, will also be returning.
This announcement follows the sold-out success of Offal Fest 2025, that took place from 25-27 July 2025 at Rebellion in Manchester, UK. The 2025 festival featured the likes of Foetal Juice, 357 Homicide, a UK exclusive performance by Skinless, who performed their album Progression Towards Evil in full, a UK exclusive set from Begging For Incest, exclusive co-headlining sets by Defeated Sanity and Wormed, as well as exclusive performances from Imperious Mortality, Plasma, Cerebral Effusion and 55Gore.
