RADAR Festival has revealed the first acts for its 2027 edition, scheduled for 30 July to 1 August at Magna in Sheffield. The announcement is led by composer and producer Mick Gordon with a world-exclusive performance built around the DOOM soundtrack.
According to the official line-up page, this will be the first live performance of the soundtrack. Gordon’s production will combine a custom-built “DOOM Machine”, a full live band and a live orchestra, turning a game-music property into a large-scale festival production.
The first wave also includes Arcane Roots, Volumes, Conjurer, Textures, Vower, Allt, Avralize, The Algorithm, Karmanjakah and other progressive and alternative acts. RADAR’s official presentation also emphasises a no-clash format, masterclasses and a Music & Gaming Market, reinforcing its hybrid positioning.
Weekend tickets are on sale, and the organiser says sales at this stage are ahead of any previous edition. Payment plans are available, while day tickets are expected only after all three headliners have been announced. That sequencing encourages early weekend commitment while preserving a later product for more schedule-sensitive buyers.
The business opportunity extends beyond conventional music sponsorship. Gaming hardware, audio technology, instrument makers, software developers and education partners can activate around the custom performance system, masterclasses and the Music & Gaming Market. The world-exclusive label also strengthens travel motivation for an international niche audience.
