Norwegian black metal band Mayhem joins the lineup for a UK-exclusive headline performance. Founded in 1984, the cult band has been on the scene for decades, pioneering the sound in Norway.

English progressive black death band Akerkoke, Italian “scarlet doom” band Messa, US black metalers Profanatica, English death metal band Annotations of an Autopsy, and death metal group Left To Die have also been announced.

In total, the extreme metal fest will feature over 30 bands performing across Roundhouse, Electric Ballroom, Underworld, Black Heart, and The Dev - all within walking distance of each other, with the furthest venues having around a 15-minute walk between them.

Beginning in 2014, Incineration Festival has gained a loyal following, uniting thousands of metal fans every year.
