MPF2026: FINAL BAND ANNOUNCEMENT

Manchester Punk Festival love booking bands, probably to our detriment, so here’s some more to finalise our band line-up for MPF2026.

Does anyone remember that band INCISIONS? They used to play gigs but they’re scared of it now. Closed the door on fun since signing for mortgages. They are dusting themselves off though, who doesn’t love a free ticket, so you should definitely watch them 😘

The captivating BEX will be in town to riff their way through the MPF stage and we’re super excited to welcome them here 💃🏻

We live for bringing bands to MPF from absolutely miles away. The amazing THE REBEL RIOT are heading over all the way from Myanmar which is so cool. Give them your time!

Our buds in IRKED are back after a storming set in Manchester for Pretty On The Inside last year and everyone’s favourite posh boys THROWING STUFF are back for their yearly meet up to pretend they are still friends.

They will be joined by Billy Liar, Deadwax, Low Press, The Latchkey Kids, Chas-Palmer Williams, Blagged, Follow Your Dreams, Mr. Shiraz, Gaffa Tape Sandy, Modern Shakes, Nutty Skunk, Bridget, The PapaShangos, Gaydar, Rain McMey, Open Fly, The Battery Farm, Sourflake, The Click Clacks, Blythe and Constant Supervision. 

We’re also really pleased to confirm some of the comedy and poetry acts this year, featuring Andrew O’Neill, Bethany Black and more 🙌

We’re close to another milestone with tickets, over 75% sold so far. Get yours here before it’s too late: http://bit.ly/mpf2026
