Rise Against bring their legacy down under in November and December

Few bands have mastered the art of combining melodic punk-rock urgency with a message quite like Rise Against. This November and December, the Chicago quartet return to Australia and New Zealand, bringing more than two decades of punk rock riffs, anthemic choruses and socially conscious songwriting to stages across the region. Led by vocalist Tim McIlrath, Rise Against have built …

If your idea of a good Saturday involves distorted guitars, blown speakers, mosh pits and a healthy dose of rock’n’roll chaos, Helldorado is calling. On 14 November, Eindhoven’s industrial Klokgebouw once again becomes a one-day temple to punk, metal, hardcore and everything gloriously loud in between. Born in 2017, Helldorado quickly established itself as one of the Netherlands’ most distinctive …

Today you get to follow me, Emil Gustavsson, a man in his off-peak years, as I head to Göteborg Brinner, a metal festival at Frihamnen in Gothenburg. It’s also my first time writing for Messed!Up – should be fun. My alarm goes off at 8 a.m, and I crawl out of bed and sit down to play some video games. …

Event Details

Forget the polished festival formulas and predictable playlists. Helldorado is returning to Eindhoven on 14 November, promising a full day of furious rock ‘n’ roll, punk, hardcore and metal mayhem. Taking over the industrial surroundings of the Klokgebouw, this one-day indoor festival brings together an international collection of riff merchants, punk veterans, underground heroes and heavyweights for an uncompromising celebration of everything loud, rebellious and gloriously excessive.

With three stages and 22 bands, Helldorado is designed for those who prefer their music loud, their guitars distorted and their live performances served with a healthy dose of attitude. The 2026 line-up is particularly impressive, bringing together several generations of alternative music, from legendary American rock ‘n’ roll to Belgian post-metal, British punk and ferocious hardcore.

Among this year’s major attractions are American rockers Eagles of Death Metal, bringing their infectious blend of swagger, groove and dirty rock ‘n’ roll to Eindhoven for their only Dutch appearance in 2026. Belgian post-metal pioneers Amenra will deliver their trademark emotionally charged and crushingly intense performance, while hardcore innovators Converge promise an altogether more explosive experience. Scottish punk legends The Exploited will bring decades of uncompromising punk attitude to the festival, alongside hard-rock veterans L.A. Guns, appearing for their only Dutch show of 2026.

There is also a particularly special occasion for Dutch speedrock institution Peter Pan Speedrock, celebrating their 30th anniversary with an exclusive performance. Expect a spectacular set featuring special guest musicians, archive-inspired visuals and a carefully selected collection of classics, fan favourites and songs that rarely make it into the band’s regular setlist. For a band that has spent three decades keeping the spirit of loud, fast and dirty rock ’n’ roll alive, this promises to be a fitting celebration.

The musical assault doesn’t stop there. The line-up also features American groove-metal veterans Prong and Pro-Pain, Belgian rockers Ramkot, Nashville Pussy’s raucous southern-fried rock ‘n’ roll, and the psychobilly mayhem of Demented Are Go. Meanwhile, Supersuckers, The Lords of Altamont, Sanguisugabogg, Pupil Slicer, Toxic Shock, Backfire!, Money & The Man, Los Banditos, The Dirty Denims, Astro Zombies A.D. and The Hebridean Sheep add even more diversity to an already eclectic programme. Backfire! will make the occasion especially memorable with their final-ever show.

What makes Helldorado stand out is its refusal to be confined to one particular musical scene. Instead, it embraces the entire spectrum of heavy and alternative music, creating a meeting point for different generations of fans united by a shared appreciation of volume, energy and authenticity.

On 14 November, the Klokgebouw will once again become a playground for guitar-driven chaos. Three stages, 22 bands and twelve hours of music: Helldorado isn’t simply a festival to attend; it’s a full-blown rock ‘n’ roll experience. Eindhoven, prepare for impact!
