The beloved, annual Florida hardcore festival FYA Fest returns in 2026 from January 10-11 and its just-announced lineup is looking stacked as ever. In the big font, we've got Hatebreed, Drain, Gorilla Biscuits, Fleshwater, End It, Haywire, Merauder, Mindforce, Big Boy, a rare reunion set from Philly metalcore legends Turmoil (who haven't played since This Is Hardcore 2014, as far as I can tell), and an even rarer set from California straightedge vets Excessive Force (who possibly haven't played since the '90s).
There's plenty of cool stuff in the smaller font too, including Age of Apocalypse, C4, Combust, Final Resting Place, Forced Order, Gridiron, Hold My Own, Magnitude, Missing Link, Outta Pocket, Seed of Pain, Scarab, Start Today, Whispers, and more. The fest returns to Orlando Warehouse, where it moved to last year. Tickets go on sale Friday (8/22) at noon. In related news, End It also shared the final preview of their anticipated debut full-length Wrong Side of Heaven today: a cover of Maximum Penalty's "Could You Love Me?".
