Cosmic Void Festival 2026: Bloodbath, Kampfar, and More confirmed

The void expands once more… Cosmic Void Festival 2026 unveils another wave of artists, widening the constellation of bands set to gather this September in Camden Town. With each new revelation, our descent into darkness becomes more undeniable, an odyssey of rare performances, cult acts, and underground power.

We are beyond proud to announce that Bloodbath will join the 2026 edition for a UK-exclusive performance. A towering presence in the death metal world, Bloodbath embodies the grisly spirit of the genre’s most brutal traditions. Their sound, steeped in old-school violence and morbid atmosphere, will bring a surge of ferocity to the festival stage. This is a rare chance to witness the legendary death metal supergroup in one of their few live appearances, an essential moment for fans of unrelenting heaviness.

Also making a suggestive return are Kampfar, performing exclusively in the UK for this event. With over three decades of black metal artistry to their name, Kampfar channel the primal forces of Norse paganism and harsh Norwegian winters into a sound that is both majestic and merciless. Their live performances carry the weight of ritual. Expect fire, helvete, and emotional depth as they summon ancient spirits beneath the London skies.

From the stark and sweeping landscapes of Iceland, Auðn join the bill for their exclusive UK return. Known for their atmospheric black metal, Auðn weave melancholy and grandeur into every note, crafting sonic journeys that feel both intimate and vast. Their presence adds another layer of emotional and sonic texture to the festival, an invitation to drift into storm-lashed introspection.

We are also honoured to host a long-overdue moment: Vintersorg will make their exclusive UK live debut at Cosmic Void Festival 2026. A visionary figure in the evolution of progressive and folk-infused black metal, Vintersorg has long stood apart as an innovator. With their new album bridging cosmic wonder and earthly myth, their first-ever UK performance will be a true milestone, highly anticipated, deeply significant, and utterly unmissable.

Finally, representing the raw pulse of the UK underground, Wolfbastard join the lineup. Their volatile fusion of crust punk, black metal and northern grit creates a relentless, no-frills assault that perfectly captures the underground spirit of the scene.

These new additions join an already monumental lineup that includes the UK-exclusive appearance of Triumph Of Death performing Hellhammer, Moonspell presenting Wolfheart & Other Stories, Unleashed, The Laws performing Sarcófago, Tiamat, Einherjer playing Dragons of the North, and exclusive UK sets from Vemod, Asphyx, and Hate.

Sinister return with a special old-school set, while Eldamar, Black Crucifixion, Vrazorth, Mallephyr, and the worldwide live debut of Forlorn Citadel further deepen the atmosphere. The UK underground rises strong with Decrepid, Necronautical, Sidious, Suffering, and Vestia.

With 25 more bands still to be announced, the journey into the void is far from over.
