Furnace Fest Officially Returning In October 2026, Lineup Announcement Coming Soon

Organizers behind Furnace Fest have officially confirmed that the beloved hardcore, metalcore and emo festival will return this fall. The 2026 edition of the event is scheduled to take place on October 10th & 11th at the historic Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, AL.

While no artists have been revealed yet, festival organizers stated that the official lineup announcement will be arriving “soon.” Fans are currently being encouraged to sign up through the festival’s official website for early access to lineup news and additional event information.

This year’s return follows major changes behind the scenes for the long-running festival. Earlier in 2026, it was revealed that Furnace Fest had been sold to a new production company after previous organizers reportedly suffered significant financial losses tied to the 2025 installment of the event.

Rumors have also continued to circulate regarding a possible partnership between Monster Energy and the festival moving forward. However, no official confirmation regarding sponsorship or involvement has been publicly announced as of yet.

Additional details surrounding the 2026 edition of Furnace Fest, including performers, ticketing information and potential sponsorship announcements, are expected in the coming weeks.
