We’re beyond excited to share the first big wave of bands for Rock am Ring 2026 with you! The festival will take place from June 5–7 next year, and already during this year’s edition, none other than Linkin Park were announced as headliner. Now all the remaining headliners have been confirmed, along with 11 more bands that really start shaping the lineup.
First look at the lineup!
Alongside Linkin Park, two other giants of the metal scene will kick off the Friday: Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach will tear up the Ring on opening night. Saturday will see Bad Omens, Volbeat, and Electric Callboy take over the stages, while the grand finale on Sunday night will be delivered by Sabaton, Iron Maiden, and The Offspring!
The colorful genre mix doesn’t stop at the headliners either: there’s metal from Trivium, horror-core from Ice Nine Kills, kawaii metal from Babymetal, and even rap from Marteria. Also joining the party: Architects, Within Temptation, Landmvrks, Three Days Grace, A Perfect Circle, Hollywood Undead, and Social Distortion. If that’s not a massive start for Rock am Ring 2026, what is?
Here’s the full lineup announced so far:
