Rock am Ring Festival 2026: Act Set to Headline Music Event - Staging the Rock on the Ring in 2026, you will be the centerpiece.
Crankin' it up with Linkin Park at Rock am Ring 2026!
(Mark your calendars for next summer, people!)
Starting from June 5 to 7, the music scene will be buzzing at not one, but two, epic festivals—Rock am Ring and Rock im Park. But that's not all! The organizers have just dropped a bomb—our favorite heavy-hitters, Linkin Park, will be headlining the shows in 2026! That's right, it's time to get those party hats on and rock out like it's 2004 all over again.
Are you feeling the excitement? Many eager fans sure are! It was a big reveal late on Friday evening when the news hit the band's official Instagram page: "2001, 2004, 2007, 2012, 2014... 2026! @linkinpark is coming home." Sounds like "goosebumps" all around! Ticket sales start on June 10 at noon, so make sure to snag yours fast.
Now, you might be wondering, is Linkin Park really ready for a comeback? Well, the band has been through some tough times, but they're back in the game! After the tragic loss of their iconic frontman, Chester Bennington, in 2017, things took a turn for the band. However, they emerged stronger than ever, with a new lineup.
In early September 2024, Linkin Park announced their return with a live-stream concert in Burbank, California. Alongside the original members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Phoenix, and Joe Hahn, the band welcomed Emily Armstrong as their new co-lead vocalist. She's also a co-founder of the band Dead Sara. And joining her on the drums is Colin Brittain.
Rock am Ring boss Matt Schwarz told "Bild": "We share extraordinary festival moments with this band that go under the skin. Having Linkin Park play with us in 2026 means a lot to us - and we're happy to present our fans with such a remarkable headliner for next year."
Now, before we wax nostalgic about Linkin Park's past performances, let's not forget that the festivals themselves will be celebrating significant milestones this year. Rock am Ring will be turning 40, while Rock im Park will shout "happy birthday" to the big 3-0. And with an amazing lineup that includes Rise Against, Bullet For My Valentine, Weezer, The Prodigy, and Powerwolf, this year's festivals are set to be unforgettable!
So, get ready to raise those horns one more time and join Linkin Park at Rock am Ring in 2026—it's going to be one wild ride!
