Details of the line-up for the London edition of Outbreak, set to take place on June 13 as a "one day, multi stage festival in the city centre", will be announced tomorrow, November 27.
Outbreak festival has received plaudits in recent years for expanding the boundaries of what is expected from a 'heavy' music festival.
Back in 2023, Metal Hammer's Stephen Hill hailed that summer's line-up - which featured Converge, Code Orange, Death Grips, Denzel Curry and more - as "one of the most eclectic and diverse lineups the UK has ever seen", and noted, "The summer of 2023 should serve as a line in the sand for UK festival bookers, because it’s now unquestionably been proven that you can curate a diverse, eclectic, inclusive festival bill, and people who love heavy music will pay good money to see it."
