BOBfest 2026

In the organizer's words:

Nestor and The Gems join the BOBfest line-up - Scandinavian rock meets real festival power

The second wave of bands brings a breath of fresh air from Sweden: Nestor and The Gems complete the line-up for BOBfest 2026. Together with Judas Priest and Airbourne, July 25 at SparkassenPark Mönchengladbach is already a feast for all rock fans.

Full steam ahead towards summer: BOBfest 2026 enters its third round on July 25 and will once again bring together top-class acts at SparkassenPark Mönchengladbach. The metal giants Judas Priest, who will be setting a real highlight with one of their few European concerts, and the Australian hard rockers Airbourne, whose live shows are synonymous with pure energy, sweat and demolition, have already been announced.
One thing is certain: the soundtrack of this day will be even broader - and even louder.

Nestor from Sweden bring stadium rock in its purest form to the stage. With anthemic choruses, energetic guitar sounds and 80s vibes without dust, they have earned themselves a firm place in the rock landscape with their album Teenage Rebel. Their shows are pure nostalgia with a modern punch - and guaranteed to be a euphoric rock moment at BOBfest 2026.

Also newly confirmed: The Gems, the powerful trio featuring former members of Thundermother. With their mix of classic rock, attitude and power vocals, they have quickly made a name for themselves. Their debut album is currently making waves - and rightly so: this band is loud, authentic and full of fire.

With the second wave, the BOBfest line-up is growing into a musical guarantee that ranges from legendary status to hotly traded newcomers. Away from the stage, visitors can expect the usual festival area with everything their rock heart desires - from street food and vinyl stands to exclusive merch and the large BOB stand with special promotions.

The countdown is on - and more acts will follow. One thing is clear: BOBfest 2026 will once again be a feast for the rock family.
