Uprising has revealed its final lineup and stage splits for its tenth anniversary edition at the O2 Academy Leicester on Saturday May 23.
The Total Rock Stage is headlined by industrial metallers Pitchshifter, performing an exclusive live set in 2026 only at Uprising. Main support comes from post-grunge powerhouse InMe, who burst onto the scene in the early 2000s and remain one of the most sought-after live acts in the UK. Breed 77 return after their phenomenal comeback at Uprising 7, armed with a huge arsenal of hits including ‘La Última Hora’, ‘The River’, ‘Bring On The Rain’ and their iconic cover of ‘Zombie’. Completing the Total Rock Stage are The Sun’s Journey Through The Night (the final addition to the lineup), Ward XVI, Mayfire, Foul Body Autopsy and Fractions.
The Very Metal Art Stage is equally stacked, and crucially, there are no clashes between the two stages. Stampin’ Ground headline with their crushing aggression and razor-sharp melody, while Lawnmower Deth bring their trademark stage antics and chart-busting cover of ‘Kids In America’. HAWXX, Gurt, Survivalist, Maatkare, Crowley, Pryma and Break Them round out the second stage.
For the early birds, Friday night brings The Night Before Uprising featuring Viking Skull, Mage and Tribe Of Ghosts.
