Copenhell organisers called out into the darkness, and they answered! Now, COPENHELL is adding a total of 25 new bands to the 2026 lineup:
TWISTED SISTER, PAPA ROACH, A PERFECT CIRCLE, TRIVIUM, P.O.D., SEPULTURA, KUBLAI KHAN TX, PRESIDENT, QUEENSRŸCHE, KONVENT, SIX FEET UNDER, MALEVOLENCE, STATIC X, THE BROWNING, GRIDIRON, POWERPLANT, SPLIT, TWENTY ONE CHILDREN, END IT, VOICE OF BACEPROT, CHOPPER, INHUMAN NATURE, WARKINGS, VEXED and PSYCHO MOSHERS.
On their reunion tour, TWISTED SISTER joins IRON MAIDEN and BRING ME THE HORIZON as the third announced headliner for COPENHELL 2026. The band absolutely tore the festival apart with a phenomenal show back in 2014, and we look forward to another world-class performance when Dee Snider & co. return once again to seduce the COPENHELL crowd with their unforgettable rock anthems and rebellious attitude!
Hot on the heels of TWISTED SITER comes the 4th headliner for 2026 – Denmark’s biggest heavy rock band VOLBEAT!
Few bands have put Denmark on the global heavy music map like VOLBEAT – the country’s undisputed biggest heavy rock band! With their unique blend of crushing heaviness, rock’n’roll swagger and infectious melodies, they have created a sound that can ignite both stadiums and festival grounds.
From their early roots in Copenhagen’s underground scene to sold-out arenas across the world, VOLBEAT has grown into one of Denmark’s greatest musical export successes. With Michael Poulsen’s unmistakable vocals, raw riffs and epic choruses that fuse 50s rock’n’roll and punk with classic heavy metal, they deliver a live energy that sends audiences into pure ecstasy.
That’s why it’s such a huge moment for COPENHELL to present the band as the fourth and final headliner of COPENHELL 2026! At long last, we can present the country’s biggest rock band! This has been on our wish list for years, and now it’s finally happening. VOLBEAT has played all of the world’s biggest rock and metal festivals, and now it’s COPENHELL’s turn – we can’t wait! – Jeppe Nissen, festival director
VOLBEAT has performed all over the world and has earned no fewer than 143 gold and platinum certifications for album sales – with a total tally far beyond six million. They have grown from a cult phenomenon to a mainstream powerhouse, and their song For Evigt has long since become Danish cultural heritage. The band has headlined prestigious festivals such as Rock am Ring, Hellfest, Wacken, Download Festival and Sweden Rock – but they have not played at a Danish festival since 2016.

For frontman Michael Poulsen, the visit to COPENHELL 2026 marks a long-awaited return to the Danish festival crowd:
We can’t wait! This will be our first festival show in Denmark in ten years, so it’s about time. I had the pleasure of playing COPENHELL with Asinhell in 2024, and that was a wonderful evening. We’d better dust off some of the old classics – Michael Poulsen
We’re looking forward to one hell of a party when classics like Still Counting, A Warrior’s Call, Lola and many more roar across Copenhagen, uniting COPENHELL in a massive celebration.
