Fort Wayne, IN will host the first-ever ‘Shamrock Slaughter Festival’ on March 13th and 14th, 2026, with death metal titans Incantation and Sanguisugabogg set to headline each night respectively. The two-day event will take place across Piere’s Entertainment Center and Stan’s Room, bringing together a brutal lineup that spans multiple generations of death metal and extreme music.

Fans can expect performances from Pyrexia, Atoll, Regurgitation, Prophecy, Syphilic, Concrete, Necessary Death, Violence Only, Human Artifacts, Between The Killings, Cemetery Rapist, Abraded, Flesher, Anatomize, Despise The Sun, Protrusion, Sacrificial, Cheese Grater Masturbation, Legion, Ancient Entities, Severed Headshop, Goremonger, Burrito Bowel, Animated Dead, À la Carte, and Shoved Into Traffic.

Festival organizer Braxton Keyser of Gravemind Entertainment spoke about the event’s mission:

“I grew up in this scene, surrounded by people who live and breathe this music. ‘Shamrock Slaughter Fest’ was built from that same passion — to bring together every part of death metal and extreme music under one roof. For our first year to feature one of the biggest names in metal today, legendary bands that helped shape the genre, and young acts keeping it alive — that says everything about where this scene is right now. My goal is to keep building something the fans, the bands, and the entire community can be proud of, and with their support, take it even further every year.”
