Furnace Fest 2026 announces lineup

After a bruising 2025 that left Furnace Fest facing what organizers called “major setbacks” and significant financial losses, the long-running gathering has changed hands. The festival was sold to an outside production company, and founding managing partner Johnny Grimes has stepped away.

The 2026 edition is set for October 10 and 11 at Sloss Furnaces, with Monster Energy on board as a primary sponsor. The booking leans into the festival’s core identity while signaling a broader, more commercially aware footprint.

Saturday is topped by A Day to Remember, alongside a reunited Circa Survive and Underoath revisiting Define the Great Line in full. The bill fills out with Chiodos, Hatebreed, Poison the Well, Origami Angel, and a mix of newer names including Pain of Truth, Koyo, Ben Quad, and Carly Cosgrove.

Sunday shifts slightly in tone but not in intensity, with Bring Me The Horizon headlining and digging back to Count Your Blessings. Elsewhere on the day’s lineup are Angel Du$t, Microwave, and Free Throw.

Presale tickets go live May 15 at 10 a.m. CT, with general onsale to follow. The full lineup makes it clear that even under new ownership, Furnace Fest is still trading on the same mix of nostalgia and scene loyalty that built it, just with higher stakes this time around.
