LUNA KILLS are coming to Reload for the first time in 2026 – bringing one of the most exciting younger voices in Finnish alternative and nu-metal to Sulingen. Since their formation in 2019, the band has been working on a sound that fuses familiar heaviness with futuristic bite: heavy, catchy riffs meet electronic textures reminiscent of video game scores, while the powerful alternation between melodic vocals and biting screams forms the core of their intensity. Anyone who feels at home between Spiritbox, Jinjer and early Northlane will immediately dock on here.

Thematically, LUNA KILLS delve deep into inner conflicts, moments of panic and mental borderline experiences – with a directness that atmospherically intensifies their songs. Their latest LP “Deathmatch” takes this combination to the extreme: anthemic, edgy, sometimes disturbing, always energetic.

Live, the band shows exactly what Finnish heaviness is appreciated for: uncompromising pressure, precise dynamic changes and a stage presence that oscillates between eruptive force and hypnotic tension. The mixture of razor-sharp production and palpable raw energy turns their shows into intense experiences – mosh pit potential included.

For Reload 2026, this means a breath of fresh air in the line-up, a modern metal hybrid that expands the festival’s spectrum and a debut that is definitely not to be missed. LUNA KILLS are ready for their first chapter in Sulingen. Are you ready too?
