After almost a decade of waiting, the time has finally come: BLACK LABEL SOCIETY are coming to the Reload stage for the first time in 2026. Originally announced for 2017, they had to cancel back then – now the band that stands for massive riffs, bluesy heaviness and raw intensity is finally coming to us in Sulingen. The band is fronted by Zakk Wylde, long-time guitarist of Ozzy Osbourne and currently also active in Pantera, whose unmistakable style has shaped the band since its formation.

BLACK LABEL SOCIETY’s music is a powerful mix of heavy metal, southern rock and groove metal that is both virtuosic and raw. Each song bears a clear signature: powerful guitars, pulsating drums and a presence that permeates the entire show. The themes of the songs range from personal abysses to loyalty and unbridled life energy – all in a sound that really comes to life in the live atmosphere.

An experience unfolds on stage that grips both the body and the mind. The songs explode, enveloping the audience in walls of guitars and drums, sweeping them away and making every moment crackle in the air. BLACK LABEL SOCIETY shows are more than concerts; they are intense, emotional statements of sound, attitude and energy.

For all those who love metal, this performance is a moment you’ve been waiting for: uncompromising, powerful, authentic – and finally live at the Reload Festival.
