The Indie-Pop sensation PROVINZ are also arriving with a new number-one album - and will exclusively play live across Germany on the stages of the twin festivals in 2026. ‘Pazifik’ has become an artful album in its creative and emotional depth, reconciling themes of loneliness and future anxiety with love and hope. Acoustic instrumentation meets sparkling synthesizers, and despite the musical introspection, PROVINZ do not forgo the rousing hooks that their fans so appreciate about them.
The only limits for EMPIRE OF THE SUN lie in their own imagination - and after almost 20 years of success, this can literally be described as universal. The Australian duo regularly redefines what is possible in electropop, consistently pursuing an aesthetic that unites tonality and visuality. The driving force of their songs is reflected live on stage in an opulent production that transforms a concert into a total work of art.
Also newly confirmed are successful rapper FINCH, the tongue-in-cheek Italo-Pop outfit ROY BIANCO & DIE ABBRUNZATI BOYS, and the UK Rock outfit NOTHING BUT THIEVES. A DAY TO REMEMBEr from the USA will thrill with Metalcore, WOLF ALICE with British Alt-Rock, and SSIO with layered Rap artistry.
The following acts also enrich the lineups of the Hurricane and Southside Festivals: BOSSE, ALEXISONFIRE, SONDASCHULE, ROYEL OTIS, ALL TIME LOW, NATASHA BEDINGFIELD, PENNYWISE, EDWIN ROSEN, KAFFKIEZ, THE BEACHES, GRANDSON, FILOW, ZEBRAHEAD, PRESIDENT, OG KEEMO, SKINDRED, SPRINTS, BETTEROV, BASEMENT, THE BUTCHER SISTERS, RITTER LEAN, DESTROY BOYS, KINGFISHR, PA69, SOFT PLAY, ESTHER GRAF, TORS, THE ATARIS, VICKY, DAVINA MICHELLE, ROSMARIN, ECCA VANDAL, ANDA MORTS, FLORENCE ROAD, DREI METER FELDWEG, UNPEOPLE, MILITARIE GUN, YONAKA, PAULA ENGELS, JUST MUSTARD, PICTURE PARLOUR and DELILAH BON. Only at Hurricane will the #Hurricaneswimteam also celebrate its tenth stage anniversary.
Both festivals feature a stellar electro programme: BOYS NOIZE, MODESELEKTOR, MODESTEP (LIVE), DAVID PUENTEZ, TINLICKER, and ROYA will turn night into day on the electro stages “Wild Coast Stage” in the north and “White Stage” in the south.
