If you're looking for a heavy underground music festival in 2026, Emissions From The Monolith 10 brings four days of curated heavy bands to Youngstown, Ohio.
Emissions From The Monolith 10 takes place October 8–11, 2026 at Westside Bowl in Youngstown, Ohio. The festival features four days of underground heavy music on one stage, with full sets and no overlapping performances.
Emissions is rooted in underground heavy music culture. The 2026 lineup reaches across doom, sludge, stoner rock, post-metal, noise rock, heavy psych, hardcore, and underground metal while keeping the experience focused and direct.
The 2026 lineup includes Axioma, Bat, Bongzilla, Cavity, Deadbird, Disengage, Edhochuli, Fistula, Generation of Vipers, Great Falls, High Desert Queen, Horseburner, Howling Giant, Kowloon Walled City, Lake Lake, Lo-Pan, Minsk, O.I.L., Rebreather, Rwake, Shun, Solace, Stinking Lizaveta, Sunrot, Telekinetic Yeti, The Brought Low, Thunderchief, Today Is The Day, Torche, Voivod, Weedeater, and Winds of Neptune.

Unlike large multi-stage festivals, Emissions is built around a focused single-stage experience. Attendees do not have to choose between bands, miss sets because of schedule conflicts, or move between stages all day. Every band plays in the same room, in front of the same crowd.
The result is a curated heavy music weekend designed for people who care about doom, sludge, stoner rock, post-metal, noise rock, hardcore, and underground metal.
For fans who want a smaller, more focused alternative to massive outdoor festivals, Emissions offers a one-stage room where every band matters and every set can be experienced without conflicts.
