Outbreak 2025: Slowdive, Knocked Loose, Alex G, Danny Brown for stacked Manchester festival line-up

The first wave of artists performing at Outbreak 2025 has been announced, with Knocked Loose, Alex G and more leading the line-up.

The festival is set to return to the B.E.C Arena and will run across June 14 and 15. Today (November 26) 33 performing artists have been shared, and Knocked Loose have been confirmed as headliners.

The slot at the top of the bill comes following the release of the Kentucky hardcore band sharing their latest album, ‘You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To’, earlier this year.

Also on the bill for the Manchester two-day event are Alex G and Danny Brown, as well as English rock group Slowdive.

Elsewhere, Denzel Curry, Momma, Tigers Jaw, Sunny Day Real Estate, Drug Church and Superheaven join the bill, as do former NME Cover stars, Militarie Gun, Model/Actriz and Julie.

Tickets for the 2025 edition of Outbreak go live at 10am on Friday (November 29). Pre-sale options will be available at the same time on Thursday (28). Visit here for tickets, and check out the full bill so far in the post below.

As highlighted by Dork, next year’s edition of Outbreak also introduces a new event.

For the first time since the festival launched, organisers will also host a London date. Set to be held on June 13, the line-up for the show in the UK capital is set to be shared later this week.

Based on the recent post made by Outbreak, it looks likely that the line-up could be shared tomorrow (Wednesday November 27). This comes as the caption for the update shared that there is “London news coming tomorrow”.

The 2024 instalment of Outbreak saw Basement headline, and performances coming from the likes of JPEGMAFIA, Flatbush Zombies, The Garden, Soccer Mommy, Show Me The Body, Poison The Well, Angel Du$t, Mannequin Pussy, Ceremony, Touché Amoré, Movements, Incendiary, Mindforce and more.
