This is going to be heavy as all hell and a day that will be as brutal as it is memorable. Chelsea Grin bring their sharpened edges to the stage for a set that has been requested since we began RADAR, and because we love mixing it up, we\u2019re also presenting the heroic Voyager on the same line-up for a masterclass in melody, colour and prog energy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We have a wave of acts that are pushing the scene forwards in every direction: tech-metal ones-to-watch Vianova, the delightfully feral Graphic Nature and the only lads off-site you need to entertain you: Pintglass. Add in the crushing precision of Ghost Iris and the rising firepower of Sixth Wonder. Discover Royal Sorrow with us, math-rockers Maebe and baddiecore Rozemary.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Beyond the music, RADAR remains the meeting point for creativity, tech and play. Dive into masterclasses, coffee shop chats, discover gear, meet your heroes and head to any of our quiet spaces for a breather. As ever, our no-clash schedule means that you don\u2019t have to choose because you can get it all.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Who is Playing RADAR 2026?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ah-infobox\" style=\"max-width: 80%; margin: 0 auto 20px auto; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #000; text-align: center;\"><style>.ah-infobox p:last-child { margin-bottom: 0; }<\/style><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101138\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2026-RADAR-FESTIVAL-announcement-2-1080x1350-copy.webp\" alt=\"2026 Radar Festival Line-up News Dec 17 2025\" width=\"1250\" height=\"1562\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Animals As Leaders (UK festival exclusive)<br \/>\nSkindred<br \/>\nThy Art Is Murder (UK festival exclusive)<br \/>\nNorthlane<br \/>\nProtest The Hero (UK festival exclusive)<br \/>\nVoyager (UK festival exclusive)<br \/>\nChelsea Grin (UK festival exclusive)<br \/>\nThe Pineapple Thief<br \/>\nunpeople<br \/>\nGraphic Nature<br \/>\nVianova<br \/>\nTen56.<br \/>\nPintglass<br \/>\nGhost Iris<br \/>\nCLT DRP<br \/>\nSiamese<br \/>\nSheoru<br \/>\nHeart Of A Coward<br \/>\nEmployed To Serve<br \/>\nCage Fight<br \/>\nElwood Stray<br \/>\nHacktivist<br \/>\nBlack Gold<br \/>\nRoyal Sorrow<br \/>\nDali<br \/>\nIhlo<br \/>\nBenthos<br \/>\nSeething Akira<br \/>\nRozemary<br \/>\nLuna Kills<br \/>\nMaebe<br \/>\nEville<br \/>\nDacara<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>When and Where is RADAR 2026?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>RADAR<\/strong> will be held at Manchester&#8217;s O2 Victoria Warehouse from 31st July to 2nd August, 2026.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radarfestival.co.uk\/tickets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tickets are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voyager, Vianova, and Graphic Nature are among the latest names to join the three-day Manchester event next summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":100795,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17559],"tags":[17297],"class_list":["post-101136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-radar-festival"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
