Have a gander at Meg’s latest review 🙌🏻

A three piece made up entirely of Robinsons, which feels far too neat to be accidental and works in their favour as a band identity.

That’s it. The lineup is complete.

Break The Silence 2026
26–28 June
SNAFU, Rotherham

Three days. Incredible local talent. One important cause.

From heavy hitters and headline sets to rising artists carving their name into the scene, this year’s bill is stacked. Every band on this poster is giving their time and energy to support Andys Man Club and the vital work they do for men’s mental health.

This scene showed up. Now it’s your turn.

See you at the front.

Next artist announced 👀

Jack Dixon is joining Break The Silence 2026.

Fresh off his first solo show at SNAFU, Jack’s bringing a mix of classic rock, pop and country that spans decades without getting stuck in any of them.

Expect familiar favourites, a bit of swagger, and at least one moment where you pretend you don’t know all the words before immediately proving that you do.

Very glad to have him on the bill.

More to come 👀

Next set announced 🎂

Eisenstein Prime will be joining us at Break The Silence 2026.

The amazing Ben from SNAFU has been a huge part of making this festival happen, and the weekend also happens to line up with his birthday 👀 So yes, while it’s Break The Silence, it’s also very much BenFest, and we want to celebrate the man, the mystery, the legend that is Ben.

Another year around the sun, marked with an incredible set from the man himself and hopefully a big happy birthday singalong thrown in too. We just won’t say when the birthday song will be.

Feels only right.

Come for the festival, show your support for an amazing cause, stay for the birthday and bring cards if you must. Cake also acceptable.

More to come 👀

Next artist announced 👀

Jamie Woodcock is joining Break The Silence 2026.

Joining us with some stripped back pop punk. Was it a phase? Maybe. Do we still come back for more? Yes. Yes we do.

Start warming up your Tom DeLonge vocals and straighten those fringes accordingly.

We’re excited to have him join us and as always… more to come 👀

Another band to add to the list 👀

After an absolute cracker of a show at Snafu over the weekend, North Ridge will be returning to support Break The Silence 2026.

If you caught them recently, you’ll know exactly why we wanted them back. If you didn’t, this is your second chance.

Glad to have them involved and even better to have them back in the room for the festival.

More to come very 🔜

Happy to have you aboard!

Is it sharp?
Is it dangerous?
No. Well actually maybe?

What we do know is it’s Jack-knife joining the Break The Silence lineup 😈

Expect a switch up as the amazing resident drummer Chloe Whitworth steps out from behind the kit and takes centre stage at the mic. The name sounds like a warning and honestly maybe it should be. This one belongs at the front, not the bar, unless you enjoy shouting conversations?

Another band added to the lineup.
More still to come.
You’ve been warned 👀

Beyond Tonight are along for the ride | Break The Silence 2026

Another band? Oh go on then!

Beyond Tonight join us for Break The Silence 2026.

Proving it was never a phase, they’re bringing dad rock favourites and dad puns in equal measure. Expect familiar songs, drums heard three towns over, and that moment where you realise you actually know all the words.

Another addition to the weekend and yes, you guessed it… more to come 👀

27/01/2026

Thrilled we have Dirty Vinyl along for the ride!

Break The Silence 2026 is shaping up nicely!

Next band announced 👀

We’re stoked to say Dirty Vinyl are joining Break The Silence 2026.

They were one of the first bands to back the festival, and they’re bringing a stacked set that’s more than enough to get you thunderstruck.

AC/DC? Absolutely.
Metallica? Of course.
System of a Down? Naturally.
Audioslave? That’s served too.

So excited to have these guys on board. Get ready, because they have no interest in smoothing things out.

More bands soon…
