Florida’s Foreign Dissent Festival Announces 2026 Line Up

Foreign Dissent, the longest-running festival in the US dedicated exclusively to international punk, returns for its 11th edition on Monday, October 19th at Will’s Pub in Orlando, Florida. The event takes place the Monday before The Fest in Gainesville, and admission is just $20. This year Foreign Dissent will feature Greece’s The Overjoyed, Costa Rica’s La Versión Extendida de las Cosas, Japan’s Age of Kid, Austria’s Hyperdog, Wales’ Brightr and England’s Feeble Strength.

Held every October at Will’s Pub in Orlando, just days before The Fest in Gainesville, FL,  the event has so far featured 69 bands from 21 countries across 10 editions. Foreign Dissent does not book US acts; every performer travels from outside the country to play a single night of punk rock in central Florida.
