Takedown Festival have just added a load of new names to their 2026 lineup.

As It Is, Wargasm, Vower, Saint Agnes, Bex, Profiler, Tropic Gold, Gnome, Devere, Gurt and The Fear will all join headliners PRESIDENT and Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons at the event which takes place April 03 and 04 at Portsmouth Guildhall.

Festival organisers Kai and Sarah Harris say “This year’s event taps into a powerful moment in metal culture. With younger fans rediscovering the roots of heavy music – especially following the passing of icons like Ozzy Osbourne – we’re honoured to have Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons headline Friday 3rd April with a full Motörhead set. It’s a chance to celebrate a legacy that continues to inspire across generations.”

“On Saturday 4th April, we’re handing the reins to President, one of the most talked-about new acts in UK heavy music. Their April ‘Campaign Trail’ tour sold out instantly, and their debut EP King of Terrors has struck a chord with fans through its cinematic intensity. Their headline set will be a statement, and we’re excited to see them take the Takedown main stage in full force.”

“We’re excited to be able to showcase the evolution of heavy music from (to quote Lemmy) Motorhead’s rock n roll all the way through to cutting edge contemporary alternative metal”

Tickets are available now.
