Hoflärm 2026 Adds Dopelord, Scott Hepple & The Sun Band, Kardeathian & More
As you’ll be able tell with all the atsigns and applicable emojis, the following lineup announcement for Hoflärm 2026 came out through social media and I was lucky enough that the algorithm put it in front of my eyeballs. Swedish rockers Blues Pills and Poland’s Dopelord — the latter of whom are on tour now with Napalm Death right now — headline the announcement, but with newcomers Kardeathian and Scott Hepple and the Sun Band as well as the doomly Void and the Nothingness and exploitation-themed heavymakers Mephistofeles rounding out, there’s plenty here to dig into even before you get to the context of the first announce, which brought Kylesa, Kadavar, Conan, Dead Meadow and others. You can see the full poster below. The names are many, varied, rad, and there are apparently more to come.
The three-dayer helmed by Caspar Orfgen (also of Daevar) is set for Aug. 13-15 in Marienthal, Germany. Here’s the latest:
⚡️ @hoflärm 2026 – 2nd Bandwave – Day Tickets Available ⚡️
Alright… we’ve got some big news for you.
Our final headliner for this year is:
@bluespills – High-energy rock with soul, grit and serious stage presence. Fronted by the powerhouse vocals of Elin Larsson, they blend vintage psychedelia with modern edge and live, they hit even harder.
And the second wave doesn’t stop there:
@dopelord_666
Massive riffs, crushing doom and the kind of low-end that shakes you to the core. Pure heavy worship.
@mephistofelesmetal
Fuzzy, dark and beautifully trippy. These guys deliver gritty stoner rock straight from the underground.
@scottheppleandthesunband
Garage-psychedelic goodness with groove and heart. Catchy, wild and made for late summer festival nights.
@voidnothingnessdoom
After sharing the stage with Daevar multiple times, the young band is set to play their festival debut at Hoflärm 2026. FFO Uncle Acid & Electric Wizard – dark, hypnotic, riff-heavy.
@kardeathian.doom
We can’t wait to welcome this new trio, formed by well-known faces from the Dortmund scene, to their festival debut at Hoflärm. Expect fresh energy, heavy vibes and a set that will leave a mark.
🎟️ Day Tickets are available now – don’t sleep on it.
📅 Final Day Split + more band announcements are coming your way very soon.
