RADAR Festival announce first wave of bands for 2027

RADAR Festival have announced the first wave of bands for 2027’s festival!

The award-winning progressive and alternative music festival has announced the first wave of bands for its 2027 edition. Returning from July 30th to August 1st, the event will also debut its new home at Magna in Sheffield.

Joining previously announced headliner MICK GORDON, who will make his world-first full live performance debut, are ARCANE ROOTS, VOLUMES (UK exclusive), UNPROCESSED (UK exclusive), CONJURER, TEXTURES (UK exclusive), VOWER, ALLT (UK exclusive), AVRALIZE (UK exclusive), THE ALGORITHM (special EU exclusive comeback show), KARMANJAKAH (UK exclusive), XO ARMOR, REVNOIR, THEBOYSHADOW, LEECHED, EVERY HELL, COLD NIGHT FOR ALLIGATORS, BRIGHTSHADE, WORN OUT, BLOOD LAMENT and YOUR PERSONAL VENDETTA.

Speaking about the announcement, Catherine Jackson-Smith says, “RADAR ‘27 is already shaping up to be an unforgettable year. We couldn’t let MICK GORDON play on his own, and since day one of RADAR we’ve lamented not being able to book ARCANE ROOTS, so as soon as they came back from hiatus, we knew that was a match made in heaven. Welcoming back old friends such as UNPROCESSED and VOLUMES, plus hosting returns from THE ALGORITHM (live) and TEXTURES, and introducing the RADAR community to some new bands we’ve discovered is exactly what we do best, and housing it at our new home at Magna is the perfect start to our next chapter.

We’re adding a new space: a RADAR pub! We don’t have time to run it ourselves, so we’ve outsourced that to a landlord collective calling themselves PINTGLASS. The pub will be a separate unit, called The Geezer’s Arms, and we’ve been assured that they know what they’re doing. Bring on 2027; see you in Sheffield.”

The 2027 edition marks a move to Magna, the former steelworks and now science adventure centre in Sheffield, providing a unique setting for the festival’s next chapter.
