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.

For over ten years, Waves Like Walls have stood for powerful live shows, a clear attitude and a melodic, intense hardcore sound. With numerous club shows, festival gigs and support slots for bands such as Hatebreed, Bane and Stray From The Path, Waves Like Walls have built up a strong reputation in the hardcore and metalcore scene over the years. With their new single "They Preach, We Burn", the band is more direct, more political and more mature than ever.

GENERATION.F from Saarbrücken combine post-hardcore and modern metalcore with atmospheric synths, powerful guitars and emotional vocals. Since their debut EP Dreamscape (2023), the band has been continuously expanding their reach with steadily increasing streaming numbers and placements on Spotify's official playlist "Rock Rotation". Their songs are characterized by haunting lyrics, catchy choruses and a modern production that will delight fans of Bad Omens, Dayseeker and Bring Me The Horizon alike. With their latest material, GENERATION.F are one of the most exciting newcomers in German modern metal - and their journey has only just begun.
