While 2026 already is proving to be a year with a staggering amount of good tours and new music, RADAR Festival is once again proving it’s the city festival not to miss in Manchester with a fantastic selection of bands covering the whole spectrum of contemporary alternative music.

The final four acts to be confirmed for an already packed bill are chaos architects SikTh, who will be laying it down on the Friday, The Hara (replacing Siamese) and Glass Bridges on the Saturday, and Leprous frontman Einar Solberg who will bring his atmospheric solo show to the prog-oriented Sunday evening.
