The Fest has outlined its initial roster for the 2026 edition, scheduled for October 23 through 25 in Gainesville, Florida. The first wave places established punk and hardcore acts alongside notable reunion sets.
Headliners The Bouncing Souls and PUP are each slated to perform two sets across the weekend. The lineup further includes the reunited Texas is the Reason, a rare live appearance from Bear vs. Shark, and Torche. Other confirmed acts include The Impossibles, Nerf Herder performing their self titled album, Home Front, Small Brown Bike, and Sparta.
This announcement represents roughly half of the expected total bill, with nearly one hundred more artists to be named. Festival passes and hotel packages go on sale April 24.
