NECROSONIC RETURNS IN 2026
For the third year, the gates reopen.
The veil thins.
The congregation gathers.
Necrosonic Festival returns to Mansfield Tavern on Saturday 22 August 2026 - bigger, darker and more unhinged than ever before.
What began as a bold new gathering of the heavy has become an annual ritual for those who like their music brutal, immersive and intensely forbidden..
Each year the circle widens.
Each year the offering grows.
By this, the third gathering, the altar expects something unforgettable. Something louder than last year..
