One year after FYA Fest took over Orlando for the first time last January, the hardcore throwdown is back and gearing up for another City Beautiful ass-kicking.

For the 2026 iteration — which marks the fest’s 12th anniversary — FYA brings hardcore heavyweights from all over to the Orlando Warehouse Saturday and Sunday for a weekend’s worth of sweaty music both new(ish) to the scene and decades deep.

On this year’s lineup are Drain, Hatebreed, Big Boy, Haywire, Gorilla Biscuits, Fleshwater, Kickback, Turmoil, Mindforce, Gridiron, Combust, Merauder, Bulls Shitt and plenty more.

The fest relocated from Tampa last year following backlash stirred up by fans who accused its former location — the Shanna and Bryan Glazer Jewish Community Center — of Zionism and financially supporting Israel’s military.

Two years later, it looks like Orlando just may be FYA’s new permanent home.

Saturday-Sunday, Jan. 10-11, Orlando Warehouse, 4603 W. Colonial Drive,  orlandoamphitheater.com, $101-$197.
