Riot Fest 2026 Preview – Guttermouth and The Callous Daoboys

CallbullChatGPT Preview Friday Riot Fest 2026

Guttermouth 4:30 Rise Stage

Guttermouth are from Huntington Beach, California, and play fast, sarcastic, deliberately obnoxious Southern California punk. Their style sits comfortably alongside The Vandals, NOFX, Lagwagon, Screeching Weasel, and Pennywise. Their live shows are chaotic, irreverent, and confrontational, with singer Mark Adkins known for interacting with the audience and generally refusing to behave himself. They’re a very different experience from the more atmospheric bands on your list—this is pure punk-rock troublemaking.

The Callous Daoboys 5:15 Radical Stage

The Callous Daoboys are from Atlanta, Georgia, and play an absolutely bonkers form of mathcore and metalcore. Their music features technical guitar work, breakdowns, abrupt changes, theatrical moments, and occasional flashes of nu-metal and post-hardcore. Fans of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Converge, Botch, and The Chariot should check them out. Their live shows are essentially musical whiplash: extremely fast, physical, theatrical, and chaotic. It’s the sort of band where you may spnd half the set wondering how they’re physically playing the songs.
