Manchester Punk Festival 2025, another wave of incredible bands announced!

Manchester Punk Festival (MPF) has just dropped another huge announcement ahead of its 2025 edition, and we’re buzzing! Taking place from 18-20 April 2025 across multiple venues in Manchester, this year’s event promises to be one of the biggest and most exciting yet. As MPF celebrates its 10th anniversary, they’re showing no signs of slowing down with this stacked list of fresh additions.

The line-up just keeps getting stronger, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see some of our faves like Other Half, Happy Accidents, and Supermilk confirmed. These three bands have been absolutely killing it on the UK scene, and their presence is sure to add that extra spark to an already fire-filled festival.

Headlining today’s announcement are legendary Minneapolis punks Dillinger Four, making their MPF debut! Known for their raw energy and chaotic live shows, this is bound to be a highlight of the festival. Joining them are the unstoppable Death By Stereo, back for their third MPF appearance, and Smoke Or Fire, returning after a long absence to deliver their signature melodic hardcore.

Italian Oi! stalwarts Los Fastidios and US pop-punk heroes Broadway Calls also feature in this announcement, alongside the much-loved Pizzatramp and the ever-eclectic Franz Nicolay. Comedy punk icon Captain Hotknives will be back with his trademark absurdity, while bands like In Evil Hour, Knife Club, and Bruise Control are set to bring some serious heat.
