Second wave of bands: More volume, more legends

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.

Maschine

Ein Mann über den so vieles bereits gesagt oder geschrieben wurde. Dessen Name bei Fans und Verehrern global einen ganz speziellen Klang hat und für ein wohliges Gefühl an den richtigen Stellen sorgt. Wenn wir hier gleich die eine Frage stellen, dann nicht aus Gewohnheit, sondern weil wir uns vor Showmaster-Können, Authentizität und Integrität eines echten Originals verbeugen. Wir könnten uns deutlich Schlimmeres als das vorstellen, denn wer liebt euch und wen liebt ihr?

SM Pitcontrol

Attention! Attention! This is your commander speaking. Metalheads, take the dancefloor — fists in the air, bodies in motion — NOW! No standing still, no hesitation. Every riff is an order. Pit Control has taken command. And now: GO OFF!

DJ Hüby

Here, the boss still DJs himself! Good for him — because the Don of Metal commands a fully loaded arsenal of the heavy and the even heavier. And great for us — because where else can you burn down the dancefloor in such a relaxed atmosphere with the boss himself? Chill the Helbing — DJ Hüby is coming.

Cowgirls From Hell DJ Team

Metalheads, behold — the Tyrolean ground cracks open and spits two Cowgirls straight into the Zillertal. Cowgirls From Hell — and the name is absolutely no coincidence. This British DJ duo carves a blazing path from the glacier straight back into the inferno. Armed with hellishly good anthems from our favorite music realm and razor-sharp transitions, they turn even the most stubborn non-dancers into full-blown movement machines. Warning: scorching hot.

Evil Jared & Krogi

Buckle up for the downhill run — because Evil Jared & Krogi are about to pick up serious speed. These two all-rounders are locking onto Mayrhofen and bringing not just exceptional musical skills, but all their other talents straight into the Zillertal. If that sounds vague — don’t worry. Their repertoire is more than extensive. If that’s not a reason to raise a glass — Prost!

Running Order und weiterer Special Act!

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!
