Manchester Psych Fest unveils 2026 line-up boost with Angine De Poutrine, White Denim and many more

A brand new batch of acts added to the Manchester Psych Fest 2026 line-up as the festival gears up to return this September

With an already stacked lineup, Manchester Psych Fest has today revealed a surprise batch of six new artists for the one-dayer, taking place on Saturday 5th September 2026.

Following the second wave of acts announced in January, MPF has just announced viral Quebec experimental rockers Angine De Poutrine, who are already a global sensation for their masked performance live on KEXP, which has racked up millions of views in just a month.

MPF also welcomes psych experimenters White Denim, Australian indie rock outfit The Belair Lip Bombs, LA-three-piece Automatic, and post-punk trio Sword II, to the latest lineup announcement.

With The Beta Band, Stereolab, Ty Segall and loads more already announced, plus this exciting batch of artists, and Psych Fest’s track record for jam-packed lineups of talent, attendees can rest assured that MPF 2026 is a lot of psych for your money.
