This year's Escalation Fest by Electric Callboy will take place on August 8, 2026, at Parkbühne Wuhlheide in Berlin, and now we also know who will be joining them to escalate live on stage. The first bands in the lineup have been revealed.

Confirmed so far, alongside the headliners EC themselves, are Paleface Swiss, Alestorm, HeavySaurus, and The Hardkiss - and of course, the lineup is not complete yet. More updates will follow, but with these names already on the poster, it’s clear that the upcoming festival edition will once again live up to its name, whether through mosh pit chaos with Paleface Swiss or folk metal mayhem with Alestorm.

So make sure to secure your tickets in time, because the Warm-Up Party as well as the Love Boat Cruises have already sold out as pre-events!
