Knocked Loose

Knocked Loose have established themselves as a formidable force in American hardcore, earning recognition for their uncompromising blend of beatdown hardcore and hardcore punk since their formation in 2013. Their catalogue is marked by intense releases, with the acclaimed album You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To landing in May 2024, and a string of hard-hitting singles including “Blinding Faith”, “Don’t Reach for Me”, and “Suffocate”. The band’s creative momentum continues with the highly anticipated single “Hive Mind” scheduled for February 2026, demonstrating a commitment to continually pushing the boundaries of live music and recorded output.

The collective’s live presence is equally noteworthy. In June 2025, Knocked Loose commanded headline status at Manchester’s B.E.C Arena for OUTBREAK 2025, sharing the stage with acts such as Alex G and Slowdive. Their reputation as a live headliner carried through to Slam Dunk Festival in both Leeds and Hatfield the same year. They have also taken on support roles with distinction, joining Good Charlotte at Slam Dunk Festival in 2024 and appearing beneath System of a Down as support at Sick New World, Texas Motor Speedway, in October 2025. These prominent slots reflect Knocked Loose’s magnetic draw within the global hardcore and live music circuits.

As their international reach grows, Knocked Loose are set to headline Limelight 1 in Belfast in June 2026 and take the stage at Primavera Sound in Barcelona.
