13 NEW BANDS READY FOR COPENHELL 2026!

BRING ME THE HORIZON, ALICE COOPER, ANTHRAX, THE PRETTY RECKLESS, NECKBREAKKER and many more join IRON MAIDEN at next year’s festival.

COPENHELL revealed earlier this week that IRON MAIDEN will be next year’s big headliner and now announces 13 new bands ahead of the start of ticket sales for 2026 next week:

BRING ME THE HORIZON, ALICE COOPER, ANTHRAX, THE PRETTY RECKLESS, NECKBREAKKER, IOTUNN, THROWN, TROLLFEST, KATLA, DIE SPITZ, DEFECTO, VIOLENT MAGIC ORCHESTRA and OMSORG.

The hugely popular and highly requested British metal band BRING ME THE HORIZON is one of the most influential names in modern metal, and they will visit COPENHELL for the very first time when they perform as a headliner at next year’s festival. They will be joined by the iconic shock rocker ALICE COOPER with his string of massive rock classics and the unstoppable thrash veterans from ANTHRAX.

THE PRETTY RECKLESS bring modern hard rock with heavy riffs and rebellious attitude, NECKBREAKKER are ready to subject the COPENHELL audience to their violent metal chiropractics and IOTUNN will return with their cosmic progressive death metal.

The Swedish metalcore phenomenon THROWN will create pure pit chaos, Norway’s TROLLFEST – who nearly capsized the Oslo boat with an unforgettable party on COPENHELL Metal Cruise in 2018 – finally visit the main festival itself, while KATLA revisit the festival with their crushing earthquake doom.

DIE SPITZ will batter the audience with sweaty, authentic punk, while DEFECTO will captivate them with their razor-sharp melodic metal. Japan’s VIOLENT MAGIC ORCHESTRA will create a sensory bombardment like no other, and OMSORG will drag everyone through the full emotional spectrum.

Sales of 4-day tickets for COPENHELL 2026 start via Ticketmaster on September 30 at 10:00 – R.I.P. tickets, disability tickets and a limited number of child tickets will also be available when the ticket sales open.
