🔪 HOSO TERRA TOMA AT CRYPTID QU**RS FEST ‘26

What an absolutely phenomenal day and night! We’re still recovering from Cryptid Qu**rs Fest ‘26, but we’re SO excited to finally start sharing some of the photos from the festival with you. 🖤

First up: Hoso Terra Toma absolutely SLAYING their first headline set at Cryptid Qu**rs Fest. 🔥

These incredible shots were captured by one of our resident photographers Heidi Tomlinson 📸

And now we have to ask…

Do you want to see Cryptid Qu**rs Fest return for ‘27? 👀

We’re already working on plans for the next festival and will hopefully have a date to announce soon. But making another festival happen will depend heavily on the support and demand from our monster community so if you want to see us do it again, let us know! 🖤

📸 More festival recaps coming soon.

Meet & Greet photos with Hoso Terra Toma and our other amazing supermonsters will be live later tonight. Stay tuned for info on where to find them

Oh my goodness what an incredibly beautiful day full of monsters and wonderful people that was!

Thank you to every single person who attended, performed at, worked behind the scenes of, and supported Cryptid Qu**rs Fest ‘26

Way too many people to tag as we wanted to try and get as many of the remaining cast, crew, and volunteers on the stage at Midnight to get a festival photo with our stunning headliners.

Safe to say we were absolutely blown away by 호소 Hoso and 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗣𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗮 not to mention that insane live set from 𝕮𝖆𝖉𝖆𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖔𝖚𝖘 𝕭𝖑𝖆𝖈𝖐🐀⚰️

Thank you so so much to all our artists, walkabout, workshop deliverers, hosts, traders, production team, DJs, and the volunteers who kept the day running smoothly. A huge thank you to FORGE Warehouse for their support helping make this happen.

We absolutely loved all of the acts and we hope you did too - tell us some of your faves in the comments.

We hope to return with another instalment in Winter of 2027 so stay tuned!
