The underground refuses to die. The underground refuses to bow to corporate bullshit. That’s why Black Flame Festival 2026 needs to exist.
We’re building a three-day DIY extreme metal festival in Bristol, UK — black, death, doom, and experimental metal played by bands who live for the underground, not trends. Twenty acts are already confirmed from the UK, US, Belgium, and the Netherlands, and the rest of the lineup will be revealed in stages — raw, defiant, and unrelenting.
But here’s the truth: nothing happens without you, the fans. No corporate sponsorships can replicate the fire of a community that refuses to compromise.
That’s why we’ve launched our Ko‑fi crowdfunding page. Every contribution goes straight to:
- Securing the remaining bands and lineup commitments
- Covering venue deposits and production essentials
- Building the festival infrastructure — tickets, merch, and the stage itself
This is your festival as much as it is ours. Stand with the underground, back the festival, and spread the word. We’re not asking for charity — we’re inviting you to be part of a movement.

Stay tuned. Band reveals, updates, and behind-the-scenes chaos are coming fast. The underground is alive, and Black Flame Festival 2026 is proof.
