Jera On Air 2026 Lineup Gets Bigger with Ice Nine Kills, Architects, The Offspring and More
Jera On Air 2026 is one of the strongest hardcore metal festival lineups in Europe this summer. The Dutch festival will return to Ysselsteyn, Netherlands, from June 25 to June 27, 2026, bringing together a huge mix of metalcore, punk rock, hardcore, pop-punk, post-hardcore, alternative rock and more.
The festival has already confirmed several major names for its 2026 edition, including Architects, The Offspring and Papa Roach as some of the biggest acts on the bill. With the latest lineup update, Jera On Air has now added even more power to the weekend, including Ice Nine Kills, We Came As Romans, Madball, Boundaries, Turbonegro, Dog Eat Dog, Bob Vylan, Destroy Boys, Free Throw, Allt, Belvedere, Nevertel, Quicksand, Rain City Drive, Sugar Spine, Haywire and Melrose Avenue.
For fans of modern metalcore, Architects will be one of the most anticipated names of the weekend. The British band has become one of the leading forces in heavy music over the past two decades, moving from underground metalcore roots to arena-sized shows and massive festival stages. Their set at Jera On Air 2026 is expected to be one of the heaviest and most visually intense performances of the festival.
Punk rock fans also have a huge reason to be excited, as The Offspring will bring decades of California punk anthems to the Netherlands. With classics such as “Self Esteem,” “The Kids Aren’t Alright,” “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)” and “Come Out and Play,” The Offspring remain one of the most recognizable punk bands in the world. Their festival performances are usually full of energy, humor and big sing-along moments, making them a perfect fit for Jera On Air.
Papa Roach will also be among the biggest names at the 2026 edition. The band has been a major force in alternative metal and rock since the early 2000s, with songs like “Last Resort,” “Scars,” “Getting Away with Murder” and “Between Angels and Insects” becoming staples of modern rock culture. Their live shows are known for emotional intensity, crowd interaction and high-energy performances, so their Jera On Air appearance should be one of the weekend’s key highlights.
The latest lineup wave adds a strong metalcore and hardcore edge to the festival. Ice Nine Kills, known for their horror-inspired theatrical metalcore, will bring a darker and more cinematic atmosphere to the bill. The band’s live shows often feel like a mix of metal concert and horror performance, which should make them one of the most talked-about acts of the weekend.
We Came As Romans are another major addition. The American metalcore band has built a loyal fanbase through emotional songwriting, melodic choruses and heavy breakdowns. Their appearance at Jera On Air 2026 adds another strong name for fans of the modern core scene.
Hardcore fans are also well served. Madball, Hatebreed, Boundaries, Terror-related energy in spirit, and several other heavy acts help give this year’s lineup a serious pit-friendly character. Hatebreed are already confirmed for Saturday, while Madball and Boundaries are part of the newly added names. Expect plenty of circle pits, stagedive energy and old-school hardcore atmosphere throughout the weekend.
Jera On Air 2026 is not only about metalcore and hardcore, though. The lineup also includes pop-punk and alternative favorites such as A Day To Remember, All Time Low, Alkaline Trio, The Ataris, The Menzingers and Free Throw. This gives the festival a wide emotional range, from heavy breakdowns to nostalgic sing-alongs and melodic punk rock moments.
There are also several interesting names for fans who like their festivals a little more unpredictable. Viagra Boys, Bob Vylan, Ho99o9, Wargasm, Turbonegro and Suicidal Tendencies bring different shades of punk, noise, post-punk, crossover and alternative chaos to the lineup. That variety is one of the reasons Jera On Air continues to stand out among European heavy music festivals.
