While we’re still trying to digest how crazy this year’s edition of Brutal Assault was, we’re already getting hyped up about 2026 with a first 14 names confirmed and they’re good ones!
Super Wednesday at STARS IN TOWN rocked Schaffhausen! From local heroes ELLIS MANO BAND to the legendary ALICE COOPER, the night was packed with unforgettable performances. UGLY KID JOE brought ’90s nostalgia with “Everything About You” & “Cat’s In The Cradle,” while ALICE COOPER’s shock rock spectacle—complete with guillotine and powerhouse guitarist Nita Strauss—blew the crowd away. Rain didn’t stop the energy, and the packed Herrenacker square proved once again: this festival is pure magic.
“Worlds Collide” when The Taste of Armageddon Tour hit Piere’s in Ft Wayne, Indiana and brought banging shows of Powerman5000, Ill Niño, Hed PE and Priest!
Rabbit Cult shared their latest single ‘Scandal’, just in time for their festival appearance coming Friday at Hellsinki Metal Festival!
The Bloody Beetroots announced their new EP ‘Forever Part One’ to be out via Out Of Line Music in October! Catch them tonight ripping it up at Lokerse Feesten!
New dark country/gothic rock project From The Land, featuring Anatoly from Nytt Land, shared its debut single ‘Psalm 2’ and announced their debut album ‘Stolen Seasons pt. I’ to be out in November via 7 Mater!
Rising queer indie-alternative artist Black Polish shares their new single & video ‘BONDAGE’, highlighting the internal struggle of self-growth!
And to wrap up the second edition of Litha Fest in style, we had Garters and Giggles and Dwayne Pyro treat us on a magical fire ritual!
There was so much more to do at the second edition of our event Litha Fest besides checking out the musical performances! You could learn how to folk dance with Balhalla, or how to sword fight with SwArta, get yourself a massage from De Viking Masseur, check out the many unique vendors that showed up or just simply enjoy the wonderful atmosphere!
On the second and smaller stage in Asgaard, we got to enjoy enchanting shows of Gentse Folk Studenten, Sanseveria, and Eleni Neldë at the second edition of our festival Litha Fest!
