Messed!Up
German metal rarely comes with as much theatre, attitude and visual madness as Hämatom. On 23 October, the Bavarian quartet brings its Gagamania Tour 2026 to Turbinenhalle Oberhausen, promising a night where heavy riffs, industrial grooves and larger-than-life stage theatrics collide.
Formed in Franconia in the mid-2000s, Hämatom have built their identity around a distinctive blend of Neue Deutsche Härte, groove metal and hard rock. The band’s members perform under the names Nord, Ost, West and Süd, creating a mythology that is as important to their identity as the music itself. Over the years, Hämatom have developed from a regional metal act into an established fixture on the German festival and club circuit, including repeated appearances at Wacken Open Air.
The Oberhausen date is part of the Gagamania tour and comes with a particularly colourful supporting line-up: J.B.O. and Anstandslos & Durchgeknallt will join Hämatom at Turbinenhalle.
Expect pounding drums, enormous riffs, theatrical imagery and a crowd ready to lose itself in the chaos. Hämatom don’t simply play a metal concert, they turn it into a full-scale spectacle.
