- Something or Other! - high-energy, hook-driven chaos built to move the entire room.
- Steve Sharp Experience - one-man metal mayhem fusing covers, originals, comedy and chaos.

- Night Thieves - modern metalcore with melody, weight and riffs that stick.Main support comes from Death Goals - a queercore/chaotic hardcore duo delivering furious, fast, cathartic noise and total live intensity.More acts are still to be announced, including the final addition and headline reveal.London Metal Pride is about visibility, inclusion and unity within metal music creating a space where queer artists and fans can exist loudly, proudly and without compromise.This is more than a lineup. It's a movement.Because Metal Unites. Pride Ignites!
