London Metal Pride 2026 returns on June 6th for its biggest and most ambitious edition yet, taking over Signature Brew Blackhorse Road for a full-day celebration of heavy music, LGBTQIA+ visibility, community and absolute chaos.
This is not just another metal festival. This is a statement.
Bringing together some of the most exciting names in UK heavy music across death metal, hardcore, black metal, metalcore, punk and alternative sounds, London Metal Pride exists to create a space where queer artists their band mates and fans can stand together loud, visible and unapologetic within the heavy music world.
Headlined by UK mathcore extremists Pupil Slicer, the festival will also feature main support from queercore hardcore force Death Goals alongside a stacked lineup including Davghter, Karnstein, Night Thieves, Something or Other, Graveless, Riff Dealer and more.
The event will also feature outdoor performances, comedy, acoustic acts and community stalls turning the day into a full-scale celebration of alternative queer culture within the underground music scene.
One of the most anticipated moments of the festival will see British-Iranian alternative artist Izzy T make her long-awaited return to the UK stage after two years away from live performance. Her appearance marks an emotional and powerful comeback as part of a festival built around authenticity, resilience and self-expression.
Following the success of the last year’s inaugural London Metal Pride AND our Road to Metal Pride Battle of the Bands showcase, London Metal Pride 2026 continues to build a platform for emerging artists, grassroots community and representation in heavy music.
This is for the outcasts, the riff worshippers, the pit starters, the misfits and everyone who has ever felt like they never had a place in heavy music.
