The Open Air Gränichen establishes itself as the essential gathering for hardcore and punk in German-speaking Switzerland, bringing together the best representatives of hardcore punk, metalcore, deathcore, and melodic hardcore. This 2026 edition promises an explosive lineup for breakdown and moshpit enthusiasts.

The main stage will welcome Less Than Jake, Florida ska-punk pioneers and true Warped Tour institutions, along with SIGNS OF THE SWARM, masters of brutal technical deathcore. The festival will also spotlight Deez Nuts, Australian ambassadors of beatdown hardcore, alongside Bad Cop/Bad Cop with their energetic punk rock.

Old school hardcore fans will groove to performances from Pulley, California melodic hardcore veterans, while the local scene will be represented by Exorbitant Prices Must Diminish, Hathors, Insanity61, and Nguru, four bands embodying the Swiss hardcore new wave.

With its family atmosphere and uncompromising programming, Open Air Gränichen continues to celebrate the DIY spirit and diversity of the global hardcore scene. A festival reminding us that punk and hardcore remain living, committed, and authentic music.
