While the thermometer has often been below zero degrees in recent weeks, music lovers from around the world are already looking forward to the summer of 2026. A summer that traditionally begins with three days of Jera On Air. The largest alternative festival in the Benelux countries will take place in 2026 on June 25, 26, and 27 in Ysselsteyn, North Limburg. There, it promises three days full of energy as always. A true spectacle featuring the best in punk, hardcore, and metalcore at the highest level!
With already announced big names like Architects, The Offspring, Papa Roach, Rise Against, All Time Low, and A Day To Remember, the bar was already set high. This is now further emphasized and expanded by the arrival of, among others, Ice Nine Kills, Madball, Turbonegro, and Dog Eat Dog.
But the story doesn't end there. At the beginning of summer, we will also see We Came As Romans, Haywire, Bob Vylan, Destroy Boys, Melrose Avenue, Free Throw, ALLT, Belvedere, Nevertel, Quicksand, Boundaries, Rain City Drive, and Sugar Spine back on the festival grounds in Ysselsteyn.
Ice Nine Kills stands for theater, horror, and pure, raw metalcore. Under the leadership of Spencer Charnas, the band has created its own "universe" where each song tells a story and becomes a complete show live. The visitors of Jera On Air will be taken into an intense performance filled with sharp riffs, relentless screams, catchy choruses, and visual spectacles. Expect chainsaws, extravagant extras, theatrical performances, and a stage that feels like a bloody horror film. Ice Nine Kills shows that metalcore can be not only hard but also creative, imaginative, and captivating.
As a true pioneer, Dog Eat Dog has been known since the early nineties for its unique and energetic blend of hardcore, metal, and hip-hop. The band from New Jersey, led by frontman John Connor, has secured a place in music history with worldwide hits like Who's The King, No Fronts, and If These Are Good Times, which continue to set the tone for bands around the world. Live, Dog Eat Dog still delivers a tight show filled with hard riffs, sing-along moments, and choruses that keep everyone moving.
What started as a side project of Agnostic Front has evolved into one of the most influential names in hardcore history. For decades, Freddy Cricien and his men have dominated the New York hardcore scene. Classics like Set It Off, Hold It Down, and Pride make every live performance an unforgettable experience, where Madball's message remains clear: fight for what you believe in, speak out, and make a difference.
The Norwegian rock legends Turbonegro combine punk, glam, and hard rock with a hefty dose of charisma, humor, and rock-'n'-roll attitude. Since their debut in the late 80s, they have shaken up the alternative music world. This has rightfully earned them a reputation as a groundbreaking and irresistible live band. So groundbreaking that a global community with thousands of offshoots identifies with Turbonegro. Wherever they perform, the "Turbojugend" with their signature denim jackets is also present.
Now that the program for Jera On Air 2026 is taking shape, anticipation grows day by day. Tickets for the festival on June 25, 26, and 27 are available at www.jeraonair.nl. There you will also find detailed information about the complete lineup, the festival campsite, and all other facilities.
