We still need 1 more band for Heat 2 of Battle of the Slams; our new showcase to help small bands get recognition where the overall winner will open OFFAL FEST 2026 and perform alongside legendary bands like Devourment, Regurgitation, Fulci and so many more!

The date is June 7th (2 weeks tomorrow) at Junior Jacksons and will be a paid slot

If your band is interested in participating please email us your music, logo and a brief description to [email protected]

BATTLE OF THE SLAMS UPDATE

We’ve been informed that Star & Garter can no longer accommodate Heat 2 of Battle of the Slams on June 6th, thankfully we have managed to move it to Junior Jacksons (which will make the show free entry!) but the only nearby date they could accommodate for was the day after; Sunday June 7th

Sadly this has meant that some of the bands who were meant to perform are now no longer able to make it; LOKUSTGRIND & 12 Gauge Autopsy, so we are looking for 2 bands to fill these slots - Please drop us an email if your band is 100% available on this date and interested in performing: [email protected]

The final will still be happening on June 13th @ Star & Garter with a special guest headliner

LINEUP UPDATE

We at Offal Fest are incredibly sad to announce, but unfortunately due to unavoidable personal reasons Lividity have had to cancel their appearance at Offal Fest 2026, although they want to make it known they will be trying hard to make sure they can visit the UK in the future!

But fret not! This does not mean the fest will be a band down!

It is our absolute honour to announce that joining as our Sunday Co-Headliner are Italy’s own horror fiends in Fulci!!!! Anyone that caught these titans earlier in the year during their tour with Sanguisugabogg knows what a treat this set will be, they will be closing off the Sunday in their own horrific style!

BUT WAIT!!! THERE IS MORE!!

as we would also like to bring back Gorge! After a super successful visit back in April with Disgracing, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to let them showcase their ultra groovy heavy style of BDM on a larger stage!

Make sure to get your tickets and pack this place out!!!

Huge congratulations to War Bastard & Erectomy for winning round 1 of Battle of the Slams last night, every band who played did an insane job but these two took the crown!

The next heat is June 6th and the final happening on June 13th which will feature a special guest headliner, both shows are at Star & Garter, come and support the underground scene 💪

It’s with a heavy heart that we must announce the postponement of our events “Battle of the Slams”, two shows that started out as an attempted rework of the Battle of the Bands concept but focused entirely on the bands and fans

But sadly due to poor advanced ticket sales we have made the difficult decision to postpone both heats (and the final) to later on in the year in a hopes to try this again at a better time - This decision did not come lightly but we need to prioritise the bands and venue above anything else, all profits from both shows were to be given to the bands and venue and with most of them travelling across the country to attend it would have landed in too many losses all around

We will be announcing the new dates as soon as possible and hope that the scene pulls through to make these special and help us to bring out a crowd to a show that doesn’t have a big international headliner

All ticket sales for both heats will be refunded immediately, please keep an eye out for an email confirmation from Skiddle
