NORTHWEST TERROR FEST Lineup And Tickets!

Following yesterday’s swift and successful password-protected pre-sale, No Clean Singing Presents: Northwest Terror Fest confirms the initial assault of its 2026 lineup. Set to engulf Seattle’s legendary Neumos and Barboza venues from May 7th through May 9th, 2026, this first wave of bands promises three days of unparalleled sonic devastation.

Northwest Terror Fest is proud to confirm the most anticipated reunion in recent memory: Washington’s own powerhouse BLACK BREATH will return to the stage for a U.S. Exclusive reunion show at NWTF 2026. This marks a monumental moment for extreme music fans, paying tribute to the band's ferocious legacy.

Joining the annihilation are grindcore titans PIG DESTROYER, who will perform their seminal 2001 album, Prowler in the Yard in a special WA/OR exclusive set. Not to be outdone by sonic brutality, the crushing forward-thinking metallic hardcore crew DEADGUY will deliver a WA/OR exclusive performance featuring both their iconic 1995 release, Fixation on a Coworker, and select songs from this year's long-awaited new album, Near Death Travel Services, which has been crowned Decibel Magazine's top album of 2025. Northwest Terror Fest also becomes the first WA/OR show from the mighty KYLESA since reuniting earlier this year. Founding members Laura Pleasants and Philip Cope are now joined by the rhythm section of NYC crust legends NAUSEA, Roy Mayorga (drums) and John John Jesse (bass) to perform a career-spanning set (and yes, Nausea material)!

The initial roster is a testament to NWTF’s commitment to uncompromising curation, featuring international heaviness from Finland’s mind-bending progressive black metal entity ORANSSI PAZUZU, and a special WA/OR exclusive set from Florida death/doom warlords WORM. The official poster art for this first announcement was created by Adam Vick (@vickcorps).
