Rock im Park 2026

The Nürnberg twin of Rock am Ring, Rock im Park runs the same lineup on the same weekend with a slightly different crowd character. The 2026 bill is broad in the way these festivals always are, with Iron Maiden and Linkin Park headlining the legacy and modern arena-rock corners, Babymetal and Sabaton bringing their own theatrical flavour, and Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and Bush filling out the late-90s-reunion strand. Heavier and more current music is well represented too: Architects, Trivium, Within Temptation, Bad Omens, Mastodon and Bloodywood all play, and bills like this are where Linkin Park’s rebooted lineup finally gets to be tested against a stadium-sized European crowd.
