Dunk! Festival 2026

The 2026 edition trims the bill but keeps the curatorial range that has made the festival a pilgrimage for instrumental and post-rock fans. Russian Circles and Pelican headline the heavier end with the kind of crushing low end the open-air stages were built for, while Caspian return as one of the festival’s perennial favourites. We Lost The Sea perform their landmark Departure Songs in full, the kind of one-off booking that turns a long weekend into a memory people compare notes on for years. Around them, Toundra, Her Name Is Calla, The Evpatoria Report and a host of smaller acts keep the usual Dunk! promise: every set is worth showing up early for, even the ones nobody warned you about.
