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.

With a whole lineup of new bands and acts, we’ve kicked off the fast descent toward Full Mayrhofen! Of course, we’re letting you know when and where to air out your ski socks and enjoy both the loud and quiet sounds of our program – while giving your attention to our ramp pros and yoga goddesses.

And today, we have another special highlight to announce! The internet has been buzzing about these two beekeepers: They go by the name Tabernis and blend the ancient art of honey-making with melancholic, dark sounds. We’ve invited them up to the alpine meadows so you can experience their magic for yourself!

Your daytime mountain extravaganze is all set – no skis required, just sit back with a cold drink or a Jagertee in your hand.Today we’re dropping the full program for the Stieralm and Kasermandlalm – it will be a festival within a festival!
Here are the acts that are gonna make it hard for you to focus on anything like winter sports instead of just rocking out:

Acoustic Guerillas – Acoustic, but guaranteed to tear things down!
Ballroom DJ Team – Spinning the decks and cranking the volume up to 11!
Blechblos‘n – Brass meets party chaos – if you stand still, you’re losing!
Da Rocka und da Waitler – Bavarian madness with a metal attitude!
Die Analphabeten – No words needed, just pure escalation!
Heavy Kevy – One man, one guitar, and a full-on explosion!
Mit Ohne Strom – Unplugged, but packing max power!
Mutz – A voice that hits you right in the heart... and the face!

Hosting the whole madness is our in-house slope beast, Maschine! And to balance out all the mayhem, we’re sending you over to Saskia’s MetalYogaBones class every day – because only those who repent can truly rock hard. Or was it the other way around?

But that’s not all:
H-Blockx and Bad Loverz are unleashing even more power onto the main stages!

H-Blockx: Since 1990, these Münster legends have been one of Germany’s top live acts. With their high-energy crossover sound and hits like "Risin' High" and "Move", they’ve earned a spot in the rock scene and are here to defend it ‘til the last crew sock.

Bad Loverz: Bringing 80s glam rock back with full force. High-octane performances and their one-of-a-kind “Thundersack” instrument – a show you can’t miss!

With this epic line-up, we’re ready to rock the slopes and throw down an unforgettable festival!
