Sound and Fury

Sound and Fury returns to Exposition Park in Los Angeles August 15–16, 2026 — two days of hardcore, punk, and heavy music in the heart of the city, doors at noon and weekend and single-day passes on sale now. It's the West Coast's home base for hardcore, and it's back on its own turf with a stacked bill. The 2026 lineup pulls from across the spectrum — Angel Du$t, Saves the Day, Obituary, Sextile, Guilt Trip, and Incendiary among the names announced — so the weekend swings from melodic and posi to full death-metal heavy without ever leaving the pit. Sound and Fury has spent years as the reunion point for a scene that treats the barricade, the stage dive, and the sing-along as the whole point, and Exposition Park gives it room to breathe while keeping it unmistakably LA. For anyone who lives at the intersection of skate, DIY, and heavy music, this is the weekend to circle. The energy is communal and unpretentious — no VIP-cordoned distance between the bands and the floor, just two days of moving fast and knowing every word. Here the crowd is as much the show as the lineup. Before you go: it's a two-day festival with doors at noon, weekend passes run around $160 with single-day tickets in the high $80s, and set times land closer to the date. Exposition Park sits right by the Metro E Line, so plan transit over parking if you can. Hydrate, wear shoes you can move in, and know the pit etiquette before you jump in. Two days, one of the deepest hardcore bills of the year, and the scene back where it belongs — Sound and Fury 2026 is a lock for anyone who takes heavy music seriously. Grab your pass and pull up ready.
