Sound & Fury 2026 lineup: Carry On, Rival Mob, Saves The Day, Obituary, Incendiary, Merauder & more

LA hardcore festival Sound and Fury returns August 15 & 16 to Exposition Park, and they’ve just announced the first wave of bands for the 2026 lineup. As always, it’s already looking great.

They’ve got some exciting comebacks on there (The Rival Mob! [first show since FYA 2016], Carry On! [first show since doing a surprise partial reunion at last year’s Sound & Fury]); some veterans from related-to-hardcore genres like pop punk vets Saves The Day, death metal vets Obituary, and 2010s-era emo band Oakwood (who reunited for Best Friends Forever last year); plus lots of great hardcore and hardcore-adjacent bands like Incendiary, Warthog, Angel Du$t, Merauder, Start Today, xWeaponx (mem Knocked Loose), No Cure, Clique, Contention, Final Resting Place, Holder, Guilt Trip, Sin Against Sin (mem Opposition, Adrienne), and more.

There’s also emo/screamo (Knumears, Train Breaks Down), hardcore-friendly post-punk (Home Front), synthpop (Nuovo Testamento), synthpunk (Sextile), Oi! (Béton Armé), and a couple newer hardcore-indebted pop punk/emo bands that’ll fit nicely with Saves The Day (Koyo, Stateside).

If you think this lineup rocks as much we do, get your tickets now. Stay tuned for more lineup additions.
