Frogfest Liverpool 2026

District Liverpool 61 Jordan St, Liverpool

Mouth Ulcers | Mercy Girl | Cosey Mueller | SDH | Pol | Liminal Project and more Frogfest is Liverpool's only dedicated darkwave, goth, EBM, coldwave and post-punk festival — a full-day celebration of underground alternative music bringing together bands from across Europe and the UK at District and Lost Art in Liverpool's Baltic Triangle. Now in its 7th year and expanding to two stages, Frogfest remains deliberately intimate. At 350 capacity, the barrier between band and audience disappears. It's part gig, part club night, part underground party, and entirely unlike anything else on the UK alternative music calendar.
