After a long winter break in which we all thought about investing in boats, we're back with 6 new bands to announce including our Saturday night headliner.
So, without further ado, let's get into it...
STAHLSARG
Your Saturday Night Headliners Stahlsarg!!!
The black metal will descend upon Beermageddon as Saturday night will witness a full headline set from Beermageddon alumni Stahlsarg.
The name literally means Steel Coffin, and having first appeared in 2014 their historical themes have become intertwined in the history of Beermageddon itself, yet we have never witnessed a full headline set, something we fully address at this years festival. With a brand new album in production the new material will be unleashed at this years festival in a special set for the Geddon faithful.
Over the years Stahlsarg have become firm favourites among Geddonites and this summer will see a welcome return for a full headline set on the Saturday evening.
DEATHFIEND
Joining the Friday night party Old School Death Metal from the birthplace of metal Beermageddon welcomes Deathfiend!
Founded by John Pickering, a pioneer within the Birmingham metal scene and founding member of Doom, Sore Throat, Cain and Police Bastard, Johnny's latest project blends OSDM with the high energy of punk, when we caught Deathfiend at Waddy's Birthday Bash last year we knew it was the perfect ethos for Beermageddon, and to have such pedigree appearing on the Friday evening will set the bar for the whole weekend at Beermageddon 2026.
KILL ALL THE GENTLEMEN
Another Beermageddon fan favourite making a triumphant return to the festival this year are Kill All The Gentlemen.
Since their Beermageddon debut in 2019 KAtG have been making big waves as they forge forward with their extreme and melodic heavy metal presented with both juggernaut intensity and orchestral harmony, once again the band return to showcase their new material as they invite Beermageddon to "Come Die With Me" live on stage 2026!
STRUCK A NERVE
Delivering the most pummeling, savage, and fresh thrash metal the world has heard in a long time, Beermageddon welcomes Struck A Nerve!
Back in November Struck A Nerve spewed forth one of the most exciting debut albums in many years, a feral mix of hardcore and brutal thrash that cemented their name as a leading force in thrash metal, driven purely by the truest underground spirit, they have sold out shows, broken every neck and will now bring this fury to Beermageddon 2026.
Already tipped to be the most aggressive and intense thrash band the UK has ever produced Struck A Nerve make their Beermageddon Debut this summer!
BLOODYARD
Another band who are no strangers to the Beermageddon stage, who once again return to brutalise the Geddon faithful are our good friends Bloodyard!
Bloodyard made the Beermageddon stage their own for the first time back in 2017 with a melting pot of Death Metal with modern Thrash, hints of Black Metal, Grindcore, and even a vein of Doom, an explosion of metal that immediately captured the hearts and souls of festival goers, and when they have not been on stage they have been front and centre with the fans, supporting the festival year in, year out
Bloodyard return to the Beermageddon stage this August Bank Holiday for the Beermageddon family!
OSKARIA
Alongside the bigger established names at the festival Beermageddon also searches for and champions the bands who will be breaking through to become the big names of the future, and a band who we have followed closely over the past year are Oskaria.
Hailing from down in Bristol and featuring Jake Bristow, a well known and well respected face at Beermagedon, Oskaria have nurtured and cultivated their sound to epic proportions, encompassing doom, sludge, and even a beautiful progressive side of metal that will be a treat for Geddonites old and new.
Oskaria make their Beergeddon debut at theis years festival and are not to be missed!
With More bands to be announced soon, Beermageddon 2026 is starting to shape up nicely.
