New Announcement Includes Many Eras and Subgenres!

The line-up now up to over 45 bands showcases a really well rounded and diverse look. Bridging the gap between stadium act, underground artists and more traditional Rock. This will please new festival attendees as well as seasoned veterans.

Key Highlights

Bastille – Pompeii (All Rights Are Retained By Bastille)
  • UK Indie-Pop band Bastille who have had countless awards and hits will be returning to the festival for the first time since 2015! Bringing with them mammoth hits like Pompeii.
Joost – Europapa (All Rights Are Retained By Joost)
  • Dutch electronic and rap breaks into the line-up in the form of Joost! After a fantastic performance at Eurovision 2024 and Coachella 2026, they look set to impressing next year.
Simple Plan – I’m Just A Kid (All Rights Are Retained By Simple Plan)
  • There was a real need to add Pop-Punk to the billing so Canada’s Simple Plan makes perfect sense! With over 10 billion streams the whole festival is going to be singing I’m Just A Kid.

Kreator – Pleasure To Kill (All Rights Are Retained By Kreator)
  • Showing off their heavier chops will be Kreator! German Thrash pioneers are going to bring the hammer down. Their 1986 song Pleasure To Kill was featured in the tv series Dark and marked a huge resurgance.

In addition the mid-tier is looking equally as strong! Carpenter Brut will wow crowds with their synth while Metalcore bands The Devil Wears Prada, Novelists and Orbit Culture bring the intensity. If you’re into Emo and Post-Hardcore then Hawthorne Heights and Hot Mulligan will be for you!
