Outbreak

OUTBREAK

Manchester, UK

WANT TO ENHANCE YOUR FESTIVAL PROFILE?

UK hardcore's premier festival, a DIY punk institution founded in Sheffield in 2011 that now calls Manchester home. Outbreak Fest is raw, chaotic, and uncompromising: three days of hardcore, punk, and alternative music with mosh pits, spin kicks, and the kind of community spirit that makes you remember why you fell in love with the scene.
