Takedown Festival 2026 returns to Portsmouth Guildhall on 3–4 April, bringing two nights of rock, metal, and hard-hitting performances to the south coast.

The opening night will be led by Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons as they pay homage to his legacy with a Motörhead tribute set, an emotional and powerful take honoring one of metal’s most beloved icons.

On Saturday, the pedal is handed over to PRESIDENT, one of the most talked-about emergent forces in UK heavy music, taking their first-ever headline festival slot in a bold, high-stakes performance.

Across both nights, expect a full lineup of support acts spanning rock, metalcore, alternative, and more (full lineup still TBA).
