We unveil our second headliner with the announcement of the long-awaited appearance of nu-metal legends KORN. Together with metal giants BLIND GUARDIAN, Swedish punk rock heroes MILLENCOLIN and high-flyers SPIRITBOX, we promise the most spectacular line-up in festival history. With a total of 39 bands confirmed so far, the anticipation for the weekend in August is growing.
Sulingen, 16.12.2023 – The organizers of the Reload Festival can finally let the proverbial “cat out of the bag” and announce the second headliner at the top of the 2024 line-up: Nu-metal legends KoЯn will tread the boards of the Reload stage in 2024 and really heat up the fans with their hits. It’s not for nothing that KoЯn has been the undisputed number one on the wish lists of various festival visitor surveys for a whole decade. They have also had a firm place in the hearts of the organizing team since childhood. This band is undoubtedly one of the great legends of alternative and metal music. They have influenced countless musicians and have led the way for many bands who have performed at Reload. The organizers are looking forward to a performance that will make festival history.
But that’s not all: metal giants Blind Guardian have also announced their performance at Reload 2024. For those who like melodic and bombastic metal, this performance at the Reload Festival is an absolute must. The Krefeld-based band are not only the first to combine the works of J.R.R. Tolkien with opulent metal epics and co-founded the genre of literary metal; they also made a name for themselves as fantasy metal greats who sold millions of records.
Swedish punk rock heroes Millencolin will also be performing in Sulingen for the first time in 2024! They are a punk rock institution. Their albums are cult and their live performances are a real energy bomb. For anyone who used to play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, the band is a hit. With their legendary songs “No Cigar” and “Penguins & Polarbears”, they have shaped the soundtrack of an entire generation and are now bringing these nostalgic vibes live to the Reload Festival stage.
Another highlight are the high-flyers Spiritbox, who currently embody the pinnacle of a new generation of bands. With their unique sound, which combines elements of djent, progressive metal and metalcore, they are making a strong statement in the world of modern metal. They are currently one of the hottest newcomers in the metal scene and the organizers of Reload are more than excited that they will be performing at the festival in 2024.
Reload Festival announces 22 new additions for 2024. 39 bands in total have already confirmed their appearances at Reload Festival 2024. And the anticipation continues to grow, as a third and final wave of bands will round off the line-up at the beginning of next year.
Booker Calvin Siemers is satisfied: “The 2024 line-up is really special for us because we have been able to secure many artists for the Reload Festival who have been on our wish list for a long time. We are looking forward to completing the program next year!”
