Hurricane Festival is returning to Scheeßel in Germany between 19th to the 21st of June, celebrating its 30th year in style, and the line up is one not to miss. Growing annually since 1997, it has quickly become one of the country’s largest music festivals, attracting over 80,000 fans of all things rock, alternative and indie. With over 80 acts announced to be performing over the weekend, we’re here to give you a quick run down of Karma!’s must-sees for each day.
To ease you into the festival, Friday welcomes Esther Graf, an Austrian singer-songwriter who blends pop music with emotional lyrics and upbeat rhythms, as well as Kayla Shyx, who’s truly a triple threat, being a singer, actress, and content creator, and is known for her tender and slightly haunting vocal style. Needing no introduction after his stellar performance of ‘Changes’ at Villa Park last year, Yungblud headlines the first day, and will no doubt pack out the main stage at the speedway race track.
Saturday raises the bar, with emerging acts like Yonaka, Florence Road, and Picture Parlour adding fresh indie rock energy to the bill, bound to give raw emotion, driving intensity, and anthemic hooks. Joining them, RØRY promises to bring unfiltered, confessional songwriting that acts as a cathartic experience for all, whilst Scene Queen will turn up the chaos with her unapologetically fierce, self-coined genre-blurring ‘Bimbocore’ sound. Finishing the night off in style, Wolf Alice will bring their signature blend of gritty alt-rock and shimmering melodies, before Florence + The Machine take to the stage with a set that is sure to be a theatrically dramatic standout moment of the weekend.
Despite being the last day of Hurricane Festival, things show no signs of slowing down on Sunday, with more upcoming acts like the rebellious Boviy, the melancholic Paula Engels, and the explosive Ecca Vandal. The day continues with a rightfully rage-filled yet liberating lineup that sees Davina Michelle, a Dutch pop artist whose music stands for empowerment and fervor; Vicky, a Viennese rapper whose heavy hitting beats are as hard as her lyrics; and Delilah Bon, a British ‘brat punk’ singer whose indignant tracks discuss prevailing power structures in society. Rounding the three days off, The Beaches will deliver a captivating performance, packed with sharp indie-rock charisma, and Halsey will bring her usual emotional intensity in a seemingly intimate but powerful headline set.
Tickets for Hurricane Festival 2026 are still available to purchase online for the full weekend, or for individual days, if one in particular takes your fancy. Before deciding, if you want to explore the current complete lineup, or find out more about the artists, you can check out their website.
