Borgore, Pendulum, Bear Grillz, Caspa, Peekaboo, Eazybaked, Mersiv, Sullivan King, Zingara, Georgie Riot, [IVY], and more have been added to the Zombie Apocalypse lineup.

Insomniac‘s Bassrush has put dubstep, drum and bass, and other bass-fueled styles at the forefront for decades, but in recent years, the brand has flourished with its Zombie Apocalypse festival. Formerly known as Apocalypse Zombieland, this two-day extravaganza at the Queen Mary Waterfront has become a destination for headbangers near and far looking for their next fix of wubs.

News has already begun to swirl around the 2026 edition, which has shifted its dates from the fall to the summer, on June 19-20, and dropped a massive lineup teeming with talent. Yet that wasn’t all that Bassrush had in the chamber for this non-stop fight against the undead, as the second wave of artists has been revealed.

Leading the charge on the list of newly announced artists are standouts like Pendulum, Sullivan King, Mersiv, Hybrid Minds, Borgore, Bear Grillz, and Tisoki, but there’s even more when you dive deeper. Unique back-to-backs, like Caspa and Peekaboo, and Circadian and Skepsis, are slated to take place, while Black Tiger Sex Machine and Kai Wachi bring their Skull Machine project to the stage. There’s also some b3b action as well, with sets featuring Bladerunner, DJ SS, and Document One, as well as Nimoa, Svdden Death, and YVM3.

Drum and bass lovers will love other additions to the lineup. Legendary MC IRAH is slated to perform at the festival, Sigma will be joined by Armanni Reign, while rising stars Georgie Riot, [IVY], and Murdoch have been added in for good measure. Other notable inclusions from other realms of the bass scene include Avello, HVDES, Zingara, Dion Timmer, EAZYBAKED, and TYNAN.

The festival’s name change and date shift won’t be the only modifications this year. Expect more details on the festival’s layout to surface in the coming weeks as Queen Mary Waterfront finalizes its plans for the new Long Beach Amphitheater. The site of that new venue was where the Quarantine Zone once sat, and with Day Trip Festival announcing its usage during the following week, it’s expected to be utilized for Zombie Apocalypse this summer.
