📋About

The Slayfest, held at the Brickmakers in the UK on May 23-24, 2026, celebrates the power of modern metal with a lineup blending nu metal, thrash metal, and rock. This spring festival welcomes Breed 77, a British formation pioneering nu metal that fuses heavy riffs, flamenco influences, and alternative groove in a unique style rooted in the band's Gibraltarian origins. Shrapnel brings the raw energy of British thrash metal with explosive performances and lightning-fast riffs reminiscent of NWOBHM classics. The Brickmakers, a traditional pub transformed into a metal stage for the occasion, offers an intimate atmosphere where concert energy can fully unfold before a passionate audience. This two-day gathering attracts heavy metal enthusiasts eager to celebrate the diversity of contemporary British metal in a friendly, unpretentious atmosphere. Between nu metal groove and thrash fury, Slayfest embodies the underground spirit of the local metal scene, far from large commercial productions.
