The open-air festival between the Black Forest and the Swabian Jura
In the small village of Irslingen (near Rottweil), the idyllic region between the Black Forest and the Swabian Jura, the 2-day Wolfweez Open-Air Festival will again bring great bands from the metal scene to the stage in 2026 and let the Black Forest tremble.
The organizers, the Musikinitiative Irslingen 2019 e.V., are celebrating 10 years of the Wolfweez OpenAir Festival this year.
The history of the association and the festival actually began in 2015 when a group of friends, who are musicians and metal fans, came together to celebrate heavy metal in Irslingen and establish a festival where up-and-coming and local bands can perform alongside big bands. It took another 2 years of planning before the first festival could take place in 2017.
What can you expect in 2026?
In 2026, the festival again awaits with its rural ambiance, the charm of the woods, short distances, and the family atmosphere that makes Wolfweez so special.
The mini-metal village, which has been part of it since 2025, will also grow and present more stalls for shopping and lingering, as well as an entertainment program on the second stage in 2026.
The open-air, which takes place from July 3rd to 4th, is still limited to 2000 visitors, allowing the metal culture to be experienced in an exclusive and personal environment.
The organizers have not forgotten where they come from, as evidenced by their strong commitment to promoting up-and-coming bands. Therefore, there will still be two fixed opener slots at Wolfweez, which will be determined through a local band contest.
This year, legendary acts have again announced their participation: This time, look forward to Cavalera, Hämatom, and Arion – three giants of the metal scene. Cavalera, since 1983 the name CAVALERA has become synonymous with extreme metal music, a name that continues to enjoy the highest esteem, a family legacy based on decades of musical aggression. And one thing is certain, Cavalera will deliver a solid performance at Wolfweez. HÄMATOM, who have presented their unmistakable mix of metal and NDH (New German Hardness), brutal lyrics, and sweat-inducing live energy for over 20 years, have established a solid place in the German metal landscape. A band that has polarized for over 20 years. This energetic band will be at Wolfweez in 2026, guaranteed to provide a show that will tear the roof off! ARION, the Finnish melodic metal heroes Arion are back and want to shake up the scene with their refreshing new work called “The Light That Burns The Sky”. With the album in tow, you can look forward to an amazing performance.

In addition to these highlights, you can also look forward to many other talented bands that will enrich this year's lineup. Among others, (HRV), Traitor, Blutgott, Venom Breath, Facing Fears (all BRD) will be present and will deliver a guitar barrage one after another. More acts will be confirmed until all 12 slots are filled.

Experience metal in all its diversity and be there when the Wolfweez Open-Air Festival celebrates its birthday in 2026 and once again brings together the family of the slightly harder musical style.
