MELECHESH
Prepare for another heavy knockdown: MELECHESH! The Band from Jerusalem convinces with a well-done mixture of blackmetal and oriental influences, immortalized on 5 albums! A warm welcome to the “Masters of Fire” for the first time on ROCKHARZ.
J.B.O.
Since it is our 20th anniversary, we won’t get round a possibly record-breaking stand: HOORAY! ROCKHARZs’ most booked Band is J.B.O.! It’s the 5th time ((2003, 2006, 2009, 2011 & 2013), the Franconians pay visit to the beautiful Harz. And everytime they are on the stage, they are a pure climax of moods. That is […]
VADER
The Polish steamroller just advertised to flatten the Harz. As most brutal confirmed musicians so far and first deathmetal act, we proudly present the force! WELCOME VADER!
ALESTORM
Back in 2008, ROCKHARZ was one of their first German festivals, but ALESTORM already made their way to the top of „drunk-pirate-metal“. Thus it is going to be a bless, when the boys finally board our ship again. Along these lines: Bottoms up!
MONO INC.
The ladies and gentlemen of MONO INC. are on a successful course after their first appearance on ROCKHARZ. A further reason for us to invite the sympathetic darkrockers, and to enrich the “darkfaction” of ROCKHARZ with a highlight.
ELUVEITIE
Several years of trying to engage this band elapsed. By the way, one of the most-desired bands on our festival. And finally, this year, ELUVEITIE can be seen and heard on ROCKHARZ 2013. The confederates already finished their pretty successful tour and are going to boot ROCKHARZ with the facet of “New Wave Of Folk […]

It’s the 3rd time, EISBRECHER honour us with their impressive stage performance and entertaining qualities of Alex Wesselsky. Those who already seen them live on stage, can tell about […]
EXCREMENTORY GRINDFUCKERS
She can have a beard, but she must be beautiful: In 2013, the EXCREMENTORY GRINDFUCKERS invite you to sing with them and their blastbeat-attacks. In the guys’ luggage is the best-of-album “Aus Liebe Zum Geld – Ihre schönsten Misserfolge” [“Because of love – Their most beautiful failures”], where classics such as “The Final Grinddown” and […]
ICED EARTH
In the year 1984, their history started with the name PURGATORY. After a merry-go-round of their vocalists, the guys around mastermind Jon Schaffer came together anew and delivered a brilliant album called “Dystopia”. For the first time at ROCKHARZ: ICED EARTH!
VAN CANTO
Rakkatakka – Fear of the Dark, Wishmaster and Kings Of Metal are only a small selection of the new-interpreted hits, that this group sings besides their own compositions. The pioneers of a-capella-metal even reached position #23 in the German album charts with their latest output “Break The Silence”. We look forward to VAN CANTO – […]
