ROCKHARZ: GAMMA RAY + TWO HOT NEWCOMERS – BILLING FROM THURSDAY TO SATURDAY COMPLETED! LABELNIGHT WILL FOLLOW!



10 years after their first and only guest performance at ROCKHARZ so far – back then in Dorste – Hamburg’ metal flagship around Kai Hansen is setting its sails to “ENTER AUF!” to the Harz Mountains. Since 2015, singer and guitarist Kai Hansen is supported by Frank Beck on the vocals. Look forward to melodic Metal at its best! GAMMA RAY return to ROCKHARZ!

The opposite of legend, namely new hopefuls in the business, are the other two confirmations, which are completing our band billing (Thursday to Saturday):

We are looking very much forward to presenting AND THEN SHE CAME at this year’s Rockharz Open Air. With an an all-new blend of hook-laden, cinelectric heaviness, this quartet is guaranteed to deliver a no-holds-barred jaw-dropper of a show.

The band’s eponymous debut album will be released on June 24th. But who is AND THEN SHE CAME? Come back and find out soon.

The final confirmation are ROCK DEVILZ, who will blow your breakfeast out of your hand with lusty Old School Rock. Singer of the recently founded band is no one less then Mephisto himself: Falko Illing, for years protagonist of “FAUST, the rock opera”, which is prestented regularly and with huge success at the Goethesaal on the highest hill of the Harz Mountains, the Brocken. If you are interested in classic literature or just being up to flush your highly cultural ears, we recommend the following link: http://www.faust-rockoper.de/

The only thing that is missing now is the complete billing of the AFM Labelnight – that is, those to be on stage next to J.B.O. on Wednesday. But don’t be sad, these ones will be presented soon! Watch out!

SAXON WILL BRING THE EAGLE TO ROCKHARZ!



Every time they play a special show, SAXON bring their stage eagle with them. This icon of NWoBHM, that first was used by SAXON on their world tour in 1983, is a symbol for a time when Heavy Metal conquered the world and when for the first time hundreds of thousands of fans flooded Metal shows. And this year, this glistening bright entity of steel will decorate the ROCKHARZ ROCKSTAGE. SAXON don’t give a fuck about our light bulb prohibition or our electricity bill. But anyway, we are looking forward to be able to say: THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!

CHILDREN OF BODOM – ONLY FESTIVAL SHOW IN GERMANY IN 2016 @ ROCK HARZ



Finland’s Melodic Death barrel no. 1 are planning their next attack on your neck muscles. Not only that they would like to erase the bad taste after their cancellation some years ago for the second time, no, they also have chosen the ROCKHARZ for their only festival show in Germany in 2016! So, there are only two options left: Go into the pit for some collective moshing or drink a shot of Schnaps for every “fuck” of frontman and guitar hero Alexi Laiho… however, it will hurt! The Hate-Crew returns to Ballenstedt!
