Terror, Dying Wish, Ecca Vandal & More Selected For Taco Bell’s 2026 Feed The Beat Program

Several artists from the hardcore and metal scenes have been announced as participants in Taco Bell’s Feed The Beat Program for 2026.

For nearly two decades, Taco Bell has used the initiative to support emerging touring artists by providing meal assistance while they are on the road. Beyond free food, the program has also helped participating acts gain additional exposure through marketing campaigns, social media features, and music placements in Taco Bell advertising.

Among the heavier artists selected for the 2026 class are:

• Combust
• Dying Wish
• Ecca Vandal
• Guilt Trip
• Ladrones
• LANDMVRKS
• Locked Shut
• Sumo Cyco
• Terror

The program has become a notable platform for developing artists over the years, with previous participants receiving opportunities that extended beyond tour support. Among the past acts to benefit from the initiative are hardcore favorites Turnstile and Scowl, both of whom saw their music featured in Taco Bell promotional campaigns following their involvement.

For bands spending much of the year on the road, Feed The Beat remains one of the more unique corporate-backed programs available to independent and rising artists.
