San Diego County pop punk, three chords fast and a dick joke between songs, with Travis Barker's drumming doing far more than the format requires.

About Rock am Ring 2027
Rock am Ring 2027 runs June 4 to 6 at the Nürburgring, the motor racing circuit in the Eifel hills of western Germany. The festival named blink-182 its first headliner during the 2026 edition, and the first big wave on September 15, 2026 put Die Toten Hosen and Bring Me The Horizon beside them, one headliner a day. Rock im Park, its twin in Nuremberg, runs the same weekend with the same bill in a different day order.
The 26 acts are already split by day. Friday leans pop-punk, with blink-182, Falling In Reverse and Billy Talent at the top, Simple Plan and Donots below, and The Prodigy billed as a very special guest. Saturday puts Die Toten Hosen with Turnstile and Faith No More, back in Germany for the first time in twelve years, over Bad Religion and Bullet For My Valentine. Sunday is the heavy day: Bring Me The Horizon, Parkway Drive and Evanescence over Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy and Lorna Shore. Stages and set times are not out, and the festival says more acts are coming.
Expect metalcore, metal, alt-rock and punk rock across 26 acts.

Germany's biggest punk band by a distance: forty years of terrace-sized Düsseldorf anthems and a crowd that knows every word.
Sheffield shape-shifters who went from feral deathcore to arena-sized electronic metalcore, with one of heavy music's most elaborate stage shows.
Canadian punk rock built on Ian D'Sa's jagged guitar hooks and Ben Kowalewicz's high, wired yelp, with 'Red Flag' and 'Try Honesty' still the loudest singalongs.
Ronnie Radke's shape-shifting post-hardcore, swerving between metalcore breakdowns, rap verses and arena-sized choruses, sometimes inside a single song.
Firestarters, still — the UK's rave-punk institution hits harder than bands half their age, three decades of menace intact.
Mike Patton and the San Francisco band that mixed funk, metal, rap and lounge-singer theatrics into 'Epic' and 'Midlife Crisis', a template alternative metal borrowed from for years.
Hardcore's joyful crossover kings — dreamy interludes, stage dives, total communion, and a crowd that moves as one.
Amy Lee's piano-and-orchestra gothic metal, the sound of a whole 2000s radio format built around one voice — 'Bring Me to Life' still an event live.
Byron Bay metalcore institution of two decades, grown from hardcore roots into a pyro-heavy arena spectacle led by Winston McCall's roar.
Caleb Shomo's Ohio metalcore, gang-vocal hardcore punch wrapped around big melodic hooks about getting through the bad days.
Westphalian punk rock three decades deep, fronted by brothers Ingo and Guido Knollmann and sung in German since the band switched languages mid-career.
American artist who turned an uncanny, too-sweet internet persona into genuine metal credibility — bubblegum melody and blast beats sharing the same song.
Montreal pop-punk that took the genre fully mainstream and has never pretended otherwise — 'I'm Just a Kid' now two generations deep.
German rap crew that made a brand out of bad taste: deliberately crude rhymes, trash-culture humor and party choruses a whole field can shout.
Forty-plus years of polysyllabic melodic punk — three-part harmonies over an unwavering political line, still the genre's reigning intellectuals.
Welsh metalcore from Bridgend, Matt Tuck's twin-guitar leads and soaring choruses unchanged in spirit since 'Tears Don't Fall' made them a 2000s fixture.
Michigan metalcore that swings between radio-size clean choruses and full-throated breakdowns, Grammy-nominated for 2019's Trauma.
Essex alt-rock built around Conor Mason's soaring falsetto, riff-heavy and made for big rooms.
Small-town Swedish metal that pairs melodic death metal heft with groove riffs and clean, cinematic choruses.
Berlin rap delivered from behind ski goggles, a novelty premise that turned into genuine chart dominance.
Sweden's Viking metal institution — melodic death metal with longship stage sets and choruses a whole field roars back.
Michael Amott's Swedish melodic death metal, harsh vocals over twin-guitar harmonies that are as tuneful as they are fast.
Swedish metalcore where Eddie Berg's violin plays alongside the breakdowns, as melancholy as it is heavy.
New Jersey deathcore act whose blackened, orchestral extremity broke out of the underground once Will Ramos took the mic — vocal contortion as spectacle.
Horror-movie theatrics welded to industrial-tinged metalcore — corpse paint, synths, and choruses built for an arena singalong, Halloween as a year-round genre.
The headliners
blink-182 · San Diego County pop punk, three chords fast and a dick joke between songs, with Travis Barker's drumming doing far more than the format requires. The first headliner named, and the band's first time at Rock am Ring. They top Friday.
Die Toten Hosen · Germany's biggest punk band by a distance: forty years of terrace-sized Düsseldorf anthems and a crowd that knows every word. Saturday's headliner and their tenth Rock am Ring, touring an album the festival calls the last studio record of their career.
Bring Me The Horizon · Sheffield shape-shifters who went from feral deathcore to arena-sized electronic metalcore, with one of heavy music's most elaborate stage shows. The Sunday headliner, the youngest of the three by a generation.
Up-and-comers to catch early
Orbit Culture · Melodic death metal from small-town Sweden, on Saturday under Bad Religion and Bullet For My Valentine.
Imminence · Swedish metalcore with a violin in the front line, on the heavy Sunday.
Poppy · The internet-pop persona turned metal singer, on a Friday that otherwise leans pop-punk.
Ski Aggu · Berlin rap from behind ski goggles, one of two German rap bookings on a rock bill; Trailerpark is the other.
Other acts worth planning around
Faith No More · Back in Germany for the first time in twelve years, and at no other festival, per the announcement.
The Prodigy · Billed as Friday's very special guest.
Turnstile · Baltimore hardcore in the Saturday top line with Die Toten Hosen and Faith No More.
Parkway Drive · One of the three names at the top of Sunday, the heaviest day of the weekend.
