Catherine Jackson-Smith, co-founder of RADAR, said: “RADAR 2026 was already a powder keg and now Skindred are the lit match we’ve all been waiting for. One of the most electrifying live bands of the UK scene, they bring unfiltered energy and cheerful mayhem to Manchester and guarantee chaos for your Saturday night entertainment.
“Joining them, Thy Art Is Murder turn up the intensity. This is going to be heavy as all hell and a day that will be as brutal as it is memorable. Chelsea Grin bring their sharpened edges to the stage for a set that has been requested since we began RADAR, and because we love mixing it up, we’re also presenting the heroic Voyager on the same line-up for a masterclass in melody, colour and prog energy.
“We have a wave of acts that are pushing the scene forwards in every direction: tech-metal ones-to-watch Vianova, the delightfully feral Graphic Nature and the only lads off site you need to entertain you: Pintglass. Add in the crushing precision of Ghost Iris and the rising firepower of Sixth Wonder. Discover Royal Sorrow with us, math-rockers Maebe and baddiecore Rozemary.
“Beyond the music, RADAR remains the meeting point for creativity, tech and play. Dive into masterclasses, coffee shop chats, discover gear, meet your heroes and head to any of our quiet spaces for a breather. As ever, our no-clash schedule means that you don’t have to choose because you can get it all.”
RADAR Festival takes place at the O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester between July 31, and August 2, 2026.
