Since the late nineties, they have been delivering a charged mix of alternative rock, nu metal and a good dose of tongue-in-cheek self-irony. And yes: they are the ones who turned Michael Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;Smooth Criminal&#8221; into a guitar anthem that still gets every crowd moving today.  <\/p>\n<p>ALIEN ANT FARM will land at the Reload Festival 2026 for the first time &#8211; and it won&#8217;t be a gentle first contact. Their shows are a wild mixture of joyful playing and controlled chaos. Between powerful riffs, catchy hooks and humorous announcements, an atmosphere is created in which you never quite know whether a mosh pit is about to break out or an alien is about to fly through the audience.  <\/p>\n<p>Musically, ALIEN ANT FARM skillfully balance between heaviness and melody &#8211; too heavy for the mainstream, too playful for genre boundaries, always with a mind of their own. After almost three decades of band history, they sound fresher than many newcomers and show that 2000s nu-metal is not nostalgia, but a way of life. <\/p>\n<p>For the reload, this means looking forward to a performance full of energy, humor and anthems that you thought you had long forgotten &#8211; until the first chorus brings everything back to life. Helmets on, hands up, aliens inbound. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3015131465 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n  line-height: 1.35;\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"social-icons follow-icons artist-single-social-icons\" style=\"font-size:147%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alienantfarm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-label=\"Facebook\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline facebook tooltip\" title=\"Follow on Facebook\" aria-label=\"Follow on Facebook\" ><i class=\"icon-facebook\" ><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alienantfarmofficial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-label=\"Instagram\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline instagram tooltip\" title=\"Follow on Instagram\" aria-label=\"Follow on Instagram\" ><i class=\"icon-instagram\" ><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/alienantfarm.com\/\" data-label=\"Website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline website tooltip\" title=\"https:\/\/alienantfarm.com\/\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/alienantfarm.com\/\" ><i class=\"icon-website\" ><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/bands\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button primary is-xxlarge artist-single-all-bands-btn show-for-small\"  style=\"padding:3px 25px 0px 25px;\">\n  <i class=\"icon-angle-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/i>  <span>All bands<\/span>\n  <\/a>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_153134299 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n  margin-bottom: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8127,"parent":6448,"menu_order":92,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8131","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8131"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8132,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8131\/revisions\/8132"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6448"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
