Linkin Park, Iron Maiden, Volbeat, Bizkit and more for Rock am Ring / Rock im Park 2026
The first bands for next year’s German mega-fests Rock am Ring and Rock im Park have been revealed, with plenty more still to come.
With a trio of massive shows coming up in Manchester, Cardiff and London next month, Architects kicked off their whole headline run last night at Paris’ Adidas Arena.
We’re less than two weeks away now from Architects taking on the likes of The O2 in London, but before then, they’re playing some equally huge shows in mainland Europe.
The band kicked off their latest headline tour in support of this year’s The Sky, The Earth & All Between album at the Adidas Arena in Paris, France last night (September 29), giving us an exciting look at what to expect in the UK very soon.
Across a 19-song setlist, Architects unleashed seven tracks from The Sky, The Earth… as well as four from For Those That Wish To Exist, and two apiece from All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, Holy Hell, Lost Forever // Lost Together and the classic symptoms of a broken spirit. Just over halfway through they brought out support act House Of Protection to perform Brain Dead, while their two-song encore consisted of Seeing Red and Animals.
On home soil, Architects will play Co-op Live in Manchester on October 10, Cardiff’s Utilita Arena the following night, and London’s The O2 on October 12, with special guests Wage War and House Of Protection.
