MP + Animalize + Wicked Leather
HEAVY METAL TO THE CORE With MP, ANIMALIZE, and WICKED LEATHER, we’ve put together a top-notch international heavy metal lineup for you that’s sure to pack a punch!
This is where two generations of heavy metal collide. First up is the local legend, the one and only MP! In the ’80s, they released true underground classics, particularly their 1986 debut *Bursting Out* and its follow-up, *Get It Now*, a year later. The band is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and after a long hiatus, the musicians are finally releasing a new album titled “Reborn,” which will be presented live for the first time here on September 26, 2026.
It took France over 40 years to finally get its own heavy-shock-rock band: ANIMALIZE. And the guys have been here before, at the legendary Pergola Open Air 2022 for their very first gig in Germany. Anyone who was there back then and witnessed a bunch of extroverted crazy guys in outlandish outfits, belts, and chains waving around a chainsaw and a katana—and then even throwing up blood—knows: it’s showtime! We love it.
WICKED LEATHER was founded in Barcelona in 2023 and has forged its identity through a sound that’s definitely rooted in traditional heavy metal. But this isn’t just a revival—what WICKED LEATHER has in store for you is an incantation!
