The the Running Order for Full Metal Mayrhofen is now online. You can finally start planning when to be in front of the stage, when to grab your nightly Kaiserschmarrn – and when there’s absolutely no excuse to miss the next pit.

And because a full week of metal between snow-covered peaks can never have too many guitars, there’s one more lineup update: two additional bands are joining the bill and finalizing the program.

Heartless Human Harvest bring uncompromising extreme metal to the Zillertal – exactly the kind of sonic force you need for a week where the amps will probably run hotter than the heaters in Mayrhofen.

Meanwhile, Nordhelden from Kiel are bringing a fresh breeze from the northern coast to the Alps. The cover band delivers a rock-packed set full of classics from Bryan Adams, ZZ Top and Kings of Leon – perfect for everyone who wants to sing along between the heavier sets.

In short: the slots are set, the lineup is complete, and Mayrhofen is ready for a week where the mountains stay tall – but the volume goes even higher.

Check out the running order HERE and start planning.

In response to your requests, we are now offering a limited number of day tickets.

From Monday to Wednesday, the action will be at the Europahaus, while from Thursday to Saturday, the party will continue at the Waldfestplatz with a mix of peaks and guitar riffs.

Whether you want to swap the slopes for the pit for a day (or vice versa) or mosh along for the whole metal week, there are now day, 3-day and 6-day tickets available to suit every level of intensity.

And since metal knows no boundaries in the Zillertal, here's a reminder:
The programme from Tuesday to Saturday at the Kasermandl and Stieralm is open to all. So, get your gondola ticket, ascend to lofty heights, order a beer, breathe in the mountain air, and enjoy our awesome ski show.

Here you can already see which of your favorite bands are playing on which day.

Pack your skis, jacket and best singing voice – we're turning Mayrhofen into the world's most beautiful winter metal destination again in March!

And the latest additions really bring the heat:

The Butcher Sisters kick off our neck-breaking downhill run straight into the Zillertal, closely followed by the Styrian Death Metal heavyweights Grimming.

With Evil Jared & Krogi, two more absolute slope demons are ready to hit the boards. Speaking of the devilish — the british DJ duo Cowgirls From Hell burn their way straight from the glacier to the purgatory. Equipped with unseen precision and a whole lotta hits out of the hard and heavy.

With DJ Hüby, DJ Markus Babbel, and the mysterious SM Pitcontrol, the holy trinity of the dancefloor has assembled. While others dedicate their lives to the slopes, this fearless trio invites you to some proper neck-wrecking action on the dancefloor.

No Full Metal Mayrhofen riot without a solid dose of tradition. And that’s why we’re flying Maschine in — and weighing him in Kasspatzen, no less.

To make sure the whole madness blends just right, Die Analphabeten crank every dial up to twelve.

It’s going to be fast. And honestly — Full Metal Mayrhofen, what more could your heart possibly want?

Majestic mountains, crisp alpine air, crystal-clear streams – and somewhere in between, the thunder of riffs, drums, and clinking beer mugs! Welcome to Mayrhofen in the beautiful Zillertal Valley, where nature and metal unite for one of the most unique festivals on Earth.

Full Metal Mayrhofen is the loudest mountain-gathering in Tyrol – where Heavy Metal meets high peaks, and moshpits meet mountain views. It’s an alpine adventure for headbangers who crave both distortion and elevation!

New in the line-up:
Dragony – epic Power Metal quests await.
Bloodbound – Swedish steel and melody in perfect harmony.
Mambo Kurt – the infernal organist of your wildest dreams.
Liquid Steel – pure Heavy Metal, forged without rust.
Turbobier – Vienna’s Punk’n’Beer revolution – fast, loud, and gloriously tipsy!
Rauhbein – German Rock with heart, beard, and horsepower!

Get your tickets, grab your leather jacket, and treat yourself to the finest hotels in the Zillertal – where snow sparkles outside while the hot tub bubbles inside.

Mayrhofen turns up the volume even further: The second wave of bands for Full Metal Mayrhofen 2026 has been announced – and it's a doozy. Eight new acts will make sure the Alps really rock. Here are the new names:

Doro
The undisputed Queen of Metal brings her new album Warriors of the Sea with her and delivers classics plus red-hot anthems. Doro live? Pure energy, zero compromises – Mayrhofen will be headbanging at the highest level.

Ensiferum
Nordic folk metal meets alpine vibe. With their current album Winter Storm in tow and frontman Petri Lindroos ‘roaring like a battle horn over frozen fjords’, Ensiferum deliver epic singalongs and a live show full of power.

Induction
Next-generation symphonic power metal. Tim Kanoa Hansen, son of Helloween legend Kai Hansen, leads Induction with a fresh sound and fat melodies. Born From Fire and The Power Of Power show that they are on a steep upward trajectory – even in the mountains of Mayrhofen.

Seasons in Black
Anthropocene catapulted the band to number 1 in the German metal charts. Lead shouter Lucki Maurer, known from TV cooking shows, adds a special flavour to the sound. On stage, Seasons in Black mix intensity with warmth – dark metal to party to.

And that's not all:

Ozzyfied – the authentic Ozzy/Black Sabbath tribute show.

Blechblosn – brass party that gets even metal fans dancing.

Der Rocka und da Waitla – rock “n” roll made in Bavaria, loud and honest.

Reis Against the Spülmaschine – fun punk & parodies with full-throttle laughs.

Full Metal Mayrhofen 2026 is making a big statement: more legends, more newcomers, more of everything. The countdown to the scene's loudest winter holiday is on – be there or listen to it afterwards.
