The Hard Circle Festivals 2026 continue to expand their lineup: WARKINGS, one of the most successful European power metal bands today, has been added to the bill.

Following the confirmation of W.A.S.P. as the first headliner, this marks the next logical step toward a strong and well-rounded program.

Since their formation in 2018, WARKINGS have been known for powerful heavy and power metal with catchy choruses and a clear focus on live performance. Their distinctive concept—four warrior figures, complemented by Morgana le Fay on vocals—gives the band an additional unique identity.

Their track record speaks for itself: With their latest album, Armageddon (2025), WARKINGS reached No. 6 on the German charts, continuing a string of successful releases. At the same time, the band has built a strong live reputation through tours, their own headlining run, and appearances at major festivals like Wacken Open Air.

This is exactly where the Hard Circle Festivals come in: bands that work on stage and connect directly with the audience. WARKINGS bring the necessary experience and energy to the table and are sure to make a lasting impression with a tight, powerful set.

With WARKINGS, the lineup gains further prominence—and the Hard Circle Festivals are heading toward a diverse metal finale to 2026.
