THE NARRATOR brought their European Headline Tour 2026 to Stuttgart’s Im Wizemann, joined by IMPVLSE and ACCVSED. A full night of German death- and metalcore bands with a significant scene reputation that shouldn’t disappoint any lover of this genre. The special atmosphere of the venue added to it and created a fantastic package.
Black Stone Cherry brought explosive energy to Stuttgart’s LKA Longhorn, delivering a powerhouse blues-rock set that spanned their entire catalog. From fan‑favorite classics to emotional highlights, the night had everything. Support act has been 10 YEARS, to add some alternative, post-grunge notes to the night. A really successful tour kickoff at Stuttgart’s LKA Longhorn.
Three major legends of Bay Area thrash metal are shaking the ground of festival stages in Europe during summer season 2026: METAL CHURCH, DEATH ANGEL and TESTAMENT. A package that makes the heart of each thrash metal jump, especially if you were young in the 1980s. And this package hasn’t disappointed, especially not when they took the time for a club show at Cologne’s Essigfabrik in Germany – a whole night of the finest Bay Area Thrash Metal!
Tyla, Todd and Dane – Phil Campbell’s offsprings – featuring Julian Jenkins (FURY) on vocals keeping the flame and the spirit alive as PHIL CAMPBELL’S BASTARD SONS after the tragic death of their father. With their 2026 summer gigs this combo gives proof of their capabilities as a fantastic live band. Their mix of Mötorhead songs and their own material is a great mix of metal, hard rock and rock ‘n’ roll. Lemmy and Phil will be watching proudly from heaven. Rounding up the package as support was JAKE & THE CONVOLUTION.
Hot item of this summer in Germany: LANSDOWNE. The US-based hard rockers from BOSTON came back to Europe again after their first tour run last spring. Besides festival appearances, they did a number of headline shows. We have visited their gig in Stuttgart that took place on one of the hottest days of the year so far. And this was not only due to the combination with the opening act SMOKING LIPS.
One night, one band: MACHINE HEAD. The California based combo came to Ludwigsburg to take the audience on an almost 3 hrs ride through the band’s history. Robb Flynn and his fellow bandmates delivered a blasting show with stunning visuals, great sound, flames and lights. It was simply amazing and crowd followed actively with massive circle pits and a large number of crowdsurfers. A truly genuine concert experience!
A four‑hour Scandinavian metal storm hit Stuttgart as Vomitory, Vreid, Abbath and Hypocrisy unleashed a night of fog, riffs and raw intensity at the LKA Longhorn. Dive into our photo report and relive the highlights.
A night of pure thrash power in Stuttgart: NAILS, EXODUS, CARCASS and legends KREATOR delivered fire, speed and unforgettable moments on the “KRUSHERS OF THE WORLD TOUR 2026”.

Frozen Soul, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Halo Effect and Heaven Shall Burn turned Stuttgart into the heart of extreme metal for one night: “HEIMAT OVER EUROPE TOUR 2026” entered the Porsche Arena. From crisp Texan death metal to a blazing German headliner finale, the four‑band assault delivered one unforgettable, hot and loud night.
Swedish power disco rock masters ROYAL REPUBLIC are on their “LOVECOP Tour 2026”. The fun overloaded stage performance rocked the masses and with the first tunes everybody in the crowd starts groovin’ during the vibrant live show.
