Rock am Ring 2027 adds 24 acts; 10,000 tickets remain
Killswitch Engage, Pendulum, Jinjer and Sleeping With Sirens are the most immediately striking names in Rock am Ring’s second wave—but they are not the whole story. The festival has added 24 acts, bringing the confirmed lineup to 50. Die Toten Hosen, blink-182 and Bring Me The Horizon remain the headliners; beneath them, the bill is filling out fast. There is plenty here for fans heading to the Nürburgring for the heavier side of the lineup: Silverstein, The Devil Wears Prada and The Amity Affliction join Holding Absence, Novelists and Currents. From Ashes to New, Guilt Trip and SPEED are in as well. It is a wave rich in metalcore, post-hardcore and hardcore, but with enough different voices to keep it from reading like one long genre list. The other additions take the bill in different directions: Betontod, The Butcher Sisters and Clutch, alongside Alexander Marcus, As December Falls, Cenobia, Haywire, Highly Suspect, Mittel Alta, Showing Teeth and The Pretty Wild. Who plays when, and on which stage, is still to come. There are now 50 confirmed acts; there is no timetable yet. Tickets are part of the story, too. The organisers say more than 80,000 have sold, with 10,000 still available. Weekend tickets currently cost €269. After another 5,000 sales, the final tier begins: the last 5,000 tickets will cost €289, and no further allocation is planned.
