Knocked Loose have been awarded the Kerrang! album of the year
The best record of 2024? Beating everyone from Bring Me The Horizon to Bob Vylan, Green Day to Gatecreeper, it’s You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To by Knocked Loose…
The first names have been revealed for Outbreak Manchester including Knocked Loose, Speed, Jesus Piece, Denzel Curry, Gouge Away and Militarie Gun. Oh boy!
The first wave of acts for Outbreak Manchester 2025 has been announced and it it a big one. After a monumental year that has seen them drop the 5/5-rated You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To, get a GRAMMY nomination and even get booked for primetime TV in the States, the mighty Knocked Loose are returning to headline Outbreak once again next year.
And they'll be joined at the top of the bill by shoegaze legends Slowdive and alt. favourite Alex G across June 14 – 15 at Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester.
Elsewhere on the bill is a veritable who's who of what's happening in hardcore right now, with Jesus Piece, Speed, Sunami, Militarie Gun, SPY and Gouge Away appearing across the weekend. Plus the return of previous headliner Denzel Curry and the long-awaited booking of wild rapper Danny Brown.
Check out the full line-up below.
More bands are to be announced, as is the line-up for the first-ever Outbreak London – taking place the day before on June 13. Stay locked in to Kerrang! for the all the latest!
