EMISSIONS FROM THE MONOLITH 10
October 8–11, 2026 · Westside Bowl · Youngstown, Ohio
The underground returns.
After years dormant, Emissions from the Monolith rises again for its 10th and most powerful edition — four days of heavy music, community, and sonic intensity.
This is more than a festival. It’s a gathering of the devoted — artists, fans, and believers in the riff, the noise, and the shared energy that only happens when the walls shake.
We’re keeping it DIY, independent, and true to the roots that made Emissions a legend. But to make that happen on the scale it deserves, we’re looking for sponsors who share the same passion for the heavy underground.
