Reception

In an article discussing Outbreak Festival 2018, NME writer Tom Connick credited the festival with being one of the main locations for hardcore internationally, as well as one of only a few that prove subcultures have continued to exist into the age of the internet, [15] going on in another article to call it "surely a highlight of the year". [39] Kerrang! writer Sam Law called Outbreak Festival 2022 the "kind of show [that] wasn't just a watershed moment for the UK scene, but for hardcore on a global scale", [40] while a 2023 article by Huck magazine called its 2023 iteration "the heart and soul of hardcore". [28]

When the festival began to put an emphasis on hip hop artists in 2023, it received some backlash from fans of hardcore. However, this same lineup was praised by Metal Hammer for being the most prominent heavy music festival to embrace a high number of women and people of colour in its lineup, with writer Stephen Hill calling the festival the leaders of "a quiet revolution". [41]

It previously took place this year in Sheffield, but the next one will be at The Well Leeds... There are two people running it. Me and one of my closest friends, Lee Fellows... We chose The Well for a number of reasons. One, it's just a really cool venue, I went to my first ever "real" hardcore show there and have always liked it. Two, it's in a perfect location and easily accessible.Three, when we did it at The Broomhall back in September it was a real risk, because it wasn't an actual venue with live music licenses; if the police had investigated us they could have shut it down. Four, I stayed up all night cleaning the venue and although it was so worth it in the end, it was a nightmare doing it at the time.
