NEWS: Rabidfest announce final bands of 2026!

What was that lyric? “Just when you thought you had it figured out. That’s when the wave of terror comes crashing down“. You can bet your bottom dollar that when Danny Leal wrote that the Upon A Burning Body vocalist wasn’t thinking about Rabidfest, Oxford or The Bullingdon. But it seems kind of appropriate as we were thinking there were no more bands to be announced by the organisers of Oxford’s finest Metal Weekender but we don’t mind admitting we were wrong. They’ve added two more to the line up for this year’s event which takes place on the weekend of 31st October and 1st November in Lesbian Bed Death and Bldsugr! That makes it 10 bands a day to take to the Devolution Magazine sponsored main stage!

Here’s the line up in full:

Hacktivist (Saturday headliner)
n0trixx (Sunday headliner)
Thrashatouille
Maatkare
Swarm6ix
Black Candy
Devilhusk
The Dead XIII
The Crawling
Novacrow
Dacara
Rattlesnakes
Omegathrone
Spared An Endless Orbit
Necronomicunt
The Blade Itself
Twin Skeletons
Sabertooth
Lesbian Bed Death
Bldsugr
