We are complete: The Reload Festival 2026 has its final line-up – and the program has what it takes to be one of the strongest editions in our festival history. From August 13 to 15, 2026<\/strong>, Sulingen will once again become a metal stronghold: WELCOME HOME!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

A line-up that will make history<\/h3>\n

With Judas Priest<\/strong>, who will take to our Reload stage for the very first time in 2026, In Flames<\/strong> (for the fourth time after 2015, 2018 and 2023) and Arch Enemy<\/strong> (for the third time after 2016 and 2022), the headlining trio already promises to make festival history. They will be joined by Lamb of God<\/strong>, Godsmack<\/strong>, Black Label Society<\/strong>, Alestorm<\/strong> and Avatar<\/strong>, among others – and the entire program behind them consistently follows suit: cross-genre, with depth and a mix of international greats, scene favourites and newcomers, many of them for the first time in Sulingen. <\/p>\n

In 2026, we will once again open the Mainstage on Thursday – the tradition from the anniversary year 2025 lives on. The line-up is now complete: Thrown<\/strong>, Heartless Human Harvest<\/strong> (Wednesday, 12.08., presented by Corrupted Blood) and contest winner Dead Phoenix<\/strong> are the last acts to join us and complete the program. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately Of Mice & Men<\/strong> had to cancel their shows for Europe – but our booking department was once again super quick and took care of a worthy replacement right away. So we are happy to announce Dead by April<\/strong>! The Swedes are known for their mix of metalcore, post-hardcore and alternative metal and are celebrating their debut with us this year. <\/p>\n

Tickets: Record advance sale – last chance before the sell-out<\/h3>\n

Advance sales are running at record levels: the first two price levels were sold out after just 20 minutes<\/strong>. Over 18,000 tickets<\/strong> have now been sold. <\/p>\n

To ensure that as many of you as possible can still attend, we are slightly increasing the capacity to 20,000 combined tickets<\/strong> – more is not possible. Based on experience, we also expect an early sell-out in 2026. <\/p>\n

From the 01.07. at 17:00<\/strong> the final price level starts with the Late Bird tickets in our ticket store:<\/p>\n
