Collision festival has released its second wave of acts for 2026!
Announced for the festival are: Tropic Gold, HRTLSS, Blight Town, BEX, DeadWax, Obeyer, Iridium, and Autumn Fires.
They join the previously announced Dream State, Native James, False Reality, Lonesome, Hell Hotel, and Only Pain.
“Collision exists to create the kind of moment that can shift a band’s trajectory”, says co-founder Paul Mercer. “The UK has no shortage of talent — what’s missing are the platforms that shine a light on them at the right time.”
“Without stages like this, scenes disappear,” adds organiser Nathan “Barley” Phillips. “Collision is our way of keeping that door open — for bands who deserve it and for fans who live for it.”
There is also a chance that your band can join the lineup by submitting your details on Collision’s website. The competition is open to rising acts across the U.K. heavy and alternative scene.
Collision takes place on April 11 at Bedford Esquires, across two stages.
