Undergoth Festival 2026. The lineup is here

Headliner

Dead Air UK

South London alternative band Dead Air have been causing a stir on the live circuit with a chaotic energy, furious delivery and an onslaught of groove-laden riffs. This year has already seen the band gain a strong social media following with their EP Elements, featuring the single Die, and critical acclaim with their riotous punk single Fast Food World coming from the likes of Steve Lamacq, Amy Lamé BBC 6 Music, John Kennedy Radio X, and Punktastic, Distorted Sound, plus international airplay on KEXP US.


Support

Blackstone

BLACKSTONE is a rock band consisting of five members from the Gothenburg area. Their sound is rooted in a blend of 90s grunge and 70s metal and blues. The band was formed during their time at the music school Rytmus, with all members sharing the idea of creating music based on drive and heaviness.


Giftorm

Giftorm is a Stockholm based rock band channeling raw punk energy through distorted guitars, heavy basslines, restless rhythms and experimental textures. Formed by high school friends united by chaos, volume, and curiosity, Giftorm thrives on high-energy performances and a sound that breathes. Drawing from classic rock foundations while pushing into hardcore punk intensity, krautrock repetition, and electronic detours, the band balances nostalgia with unpredictability.

Lyrically, Giftorm explores alienation, confusion, and the friction between impulse and consequence, often grounded in everyday behaviours and emotional breakdowns. Giftorm have released their self-titled debut album on all major platforms. A year full of live performances and more awaits.


Young Mountain

Young Mountain are a Gothenburg band formed in 2013 with roots in screamo and post-hardcore. With every release, they have moved further beyond the genre’s boundaries, becoming increasingly experimental in their expression, adding new layers, moods, and influences that open the music up to wider horizons.

Across releases like Lost Tree and Infraröd, you can hear how the original drive is still there, now colliding with atmospheric passages, floating guitar textures, and a more exploratory approach to form.

The band have toured extensively and played multiple international festivals both within and outside Europe, establishing themselves as a name that moves freely between different corners of the alternative scene.


Decibel Blonde

Decibel Blonde are Sweden’s maybe least known rock band.

After two single releases and more gigs, things are starting to move. Somehow, Stockholm’s live scene has begun to notice. People seem to appreciate a band fronted by a bikini. Weird.

The band, William Simu, Lukas Nilsson, Georg Asplund, and Hannah Höijer, blend inspiration from 70s underground punk with a more modern alternative production to hopefully create a sound of their own.

Check out the music and come to a show to get a better feel for what the hell we’re doing.
