In the organizer's words:

After an eventful 2025, LEYKA are heralding the next big chapter in their band's history. The metalcore band from Mainz, who have recently attracted attention with new releases, numerous club shows and their own sold-out festival DYSTOPIA, are embarking on their first headline tour through Germany in 2026.

With the Road to Dystopia Tour 2026, LEYKA celebrate their ever-growing community - and at the same time open a new era of their own festival DYSTOPIA.

LEYKA stand for energetic live shows, emotional modern metalcore and a strong connection to their community. The band from Mainz has built up a steadily growing fanbase through intensive work, impressive DIY projects and a unique live experience.

we against us combines elements of hardcore, modern metal, emo and post-rock to create a dynamic sound inspired by bands such as Being as an Ocean & To Kill Achilles, which impresses with its honesty and authenticity. Influenced by a time when consumerism and selfishness are eating away at our society, our lyrics range from deeply personal insights to critical reflection on the big picture, musically underpinned by energetic riffs and uncompromising breakdowns with emotive screams, while melodic leads and harmonious clean vocals provide a gripping balance. Our sound is raw, honest and reflects what moves us - with full intensity and without compromise.

Hollow Path, founded in 2020, embodies the inner struggles we all face. In a world where anxiety, depression and hopelessness are prevalent, Hollow Path's modern, aggressive, metal-infused hardcore offers an emotional outlet. With uncompromising riffs, powerful breakdowns and atmospheric melodies, their music confronts the darkness and yet offers a spark of hope.
