SonicBlast Fest 2026: Voivod, Elephant Tree, 1000mods & More Join Lineup
The lineup for SonicBlast Fest 2026 was already killer. The story here is of it becoming more so. Voivod will have that effect on a bill, never mind 1000mods or Elephant Tree or Deathchant or Madmess, Mephistofeles, Teen Mortgage or Trash Talk. There was a lot to like before. Now there’s more to like.
I could go on and on, but that’s pretty much the story of it, and among the various assemblages around Europe this summer — June brings Freak Valley, July brings Stoned From the Underground, and there are multitudes more — SonicBlast continues to distinguish itself in quality, quantity and in the variety around the central capital-‘h’ Heaviness of its purposes. You see N8noface, Necrot, Snapped Ankles, Trash Talk and so on and know what I’m talking about.
Of all the adds this time around, Madmess stand out because they’re Portuguese natives and no doubt that’ll add an extra layer of fun, though seeing Conan or Elephant Tree or Kylesa lay waste would for sure be a treat as well. I’ve made no secret through the years of posting about fests as daydream-fodder. I’ve been to SonicBlast, and it very much remains a daydream.
The following came through social media:
The next swell arrives:
Welcome the fast, wild and unpredictable TEEN MORTGAGE and TRASH TALK, the greek stoner rockers 1000MODS, the metal legends VOIVOD, get lost in the dark occult doom of MEPHISTOFELES, embrace the psych haze with ELEPHANT TREE and MADMESS and welcome back the inflammable heavy rollers DEATHCHANT 🔥🔥
Prepare yourself for pure wildness.
Beach. Riffs. Repeat
We’re not done yet. More to announced soon 🔥
