Following the success of the inaugural APF Fest in September last year, we’re doing it again in 2026.

On 12th September, APF Fest returns to Rebellion Manchester for another full-scale celebration of APF Records. Promoted by Uprising Promotions and Rebellion Manchester in association with APF Records, this is a night dedicated to the label: a showcase of our kind of heavy.

Every band on the bill is part of the current APF roster, with Desert Storm joining us as alumni - still very much part of the extended APF family.

Advance tickets are £15, rising to £20 on the door.

The Line-Up:

Desert Storm 

Gandalf The Green

The Brothers Keg

A Horse Called War

Tides of Sulfur

Nxmad

Trevors Head

Praetorian

From crushing sludge and bleak doom to groove-drenched stoner riffs and hardcore intensity, this line-up represents the weight, diversity and attitude that defines APF. Established names, rising acts, and a proper celebration of the scene we’ve built together.

On the day we’ll also be hosting a special premiere listening party for the brand-new album from Spider Kitten. Hear the record in full before its official release, through the massive Rebellion PA: loud, immersive, and exactly as intended.

APF Fest Manchester is a celebration of the label’s past, present and future - all under one roof.

Tickets on sale from 5.3pm BST on 27th Feb via think link: https://fatso.ma/3mrC
