Northwest Terror Fest will once again turn Seattle into a three-day pressure cooker of riffs, feedback, and unhinged energy next spring. The 2026 edition is locked in for May 7–9, spread across the beloved Neumos and Barboza — two rooms perfectly suited for the kind of sonic punishment this lineup tends to inspire.
The initial roster is already stacked: BLACK BREATH returning to home turf, PIG DESTROYER performing Prowler in the Yard in full, and DEADGUY resurrecting their 1995 landmark Fixation on a Coworker. Add KYLESA, WORM, ORANSSI PAZUZU, and a long list of underground lifers, and you’ve got another year where earplugs won’t save you.

Three-day passes grant access to both venues, though Barboza’s limited capacity means it’ll be a classic “get in early or pray someone leaves” situation.
Three-day passes: $199.99 — all shows, both venues.
More artists, daily schedules, and Neumos single-day tickets will be revealed soon.
