Rock im Park 2026 returns to the legendary Zeppelinfeld in Nürnberg, transforming the city into a thunderous weekend of rock, metal and high-energy live music. As one of Germany’s flagship festivals — twin to Rock am Ring — Rock im Park has, since 1997, become a cornerstone of European festival culture, known for epic line-ups, unforgettable performances and a massive international crowd. 

This year’s edition brings together a potent mix of legendary headliners and rising rock stars. Among the top names confirmed for 2026 are Iron Maiden, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, Volbeat, The Offspring and Electric Callboy — massive names whose presence promises blistering sets, head-banging energy and a weekend of raw rock power. 

Fans can expect multiple stages packed with genre-spanning performances — from old-school metal and punk-rock to modern alt-rock and heavy grooves. Expect big productions, powerful sound, festival camping, and a crowd that lives for every riff and drop. For many, Rock im Park is not just a festival but a ritual: a time when music, community and adrenaline meet under festival lights.

If you love loud guitars, wild crowds, and the pure pulse of rock music — Rock im Park 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest, most unforgettable rock gatherings of the summer.
