49 new bands for W:O:A 2026

03/11/2026

The boss told you yesterday and here it is — the big one: fresh meat for your Metal hungry hearts.

With Fit For An Autopsy, Of Mice & Men, Lacuna Coil, Alcest and Subway to Sally we are pushing up the volume

But thats not all! Also onboard are: Kadavar, Animals As Leaders, Deafheaven,Visions of Atlantis, Alien Ant Farm, Kärbholz, Crematory, Unzucht, Skyline, Bear McCreary, Lovebites, Wytch Hazel, Finsterforst, Evil Jared X Krogi, The Limit, 5th Avenue, Arroganz, Year Of The Goat, Temple Of The Absurd, Dirty Shirt, Trold, Metaklapa, 9mm Headshot, Manntra, Sagenbringer, Stonem, The Other, Cruachan, Maschine, Mambo Kurt, Velvet Rush, Heartless Human Harvest, Saviourself, Wüstenberg, Zeltinger Band, Black Tish, Tuxedoo, Minotaurus, Alien Rockin' Explosion, Asrock, Blaas of Glory, Cursed Abyss, Wacken Firefighters, Expellow

Thats plenty of good reasons more to start looking forward to the Holy Ground — and maybe dig that battle vest out of the closet already.

Still there is one little tear to shed: Nita Strauss won’t be making it to the Holy Ground this year due to her pregnancy. Help us wishing her and her family all the best for childbirth in the comments.

See you in Wacken, Metalheads — Party On!
