Rock in Rautheim 2026: When Inclusion, Metal, and Festival Vibe Electrify Braunschweig

Rock in Rautheim is one of the most prominent open-air events in the Braunschweig festival year: For two days, a top-notch rock and metal program meets an attitude that goes far beyond music at the Lebenshilfe Braunschweig grounds. The event is known as Germany's largest inclusive rock and metal festival and will bring, among others, Feuerschwanz, Orden Ogan, Visions Of Atlantis, Riot V, Burning Witches, Firewind, Edge Of Paradise, Eleine, Grailknights, Moonlight Haze, Victorius, Terra Atlantica, MH:LK Experience, and Stereo Start to the stage in 2026.

A Festival with Attitude and Force

The mix is what makes it appealing: powerful live atmosphere, clear edge in sound, and an audience that not only celebrates the big choruses but also feels the special idea behind the festival. Behind Rock in Rautheim is the Lebenshilfe Braunschweig, supported by hundreds of volunteers and characterized by an inclusive concept that thinks about setup, catering, entry, and stage operation together.

From Epic Metal to Brutal Stage Power

The lineup for 2026 covers the entire spectrum of modern guitar music. Feuerschwanz delivers folk-epic choirs with festival character, Orden Ogan focuses on precise orchestration and dark power-metal dramaturgy, while Burning Witches and Firewind stand for uncompromising heavy metal and technical attack. Added to this are melodic and atmospheric accents from Visions Of Atlantis, Moonlight Haze, and Eleine, as well as local energy with Stereo Start and MH:LK Experience. This very dynamism ensures a concert experience with interplay of pressure, melody, and audience mood.

Short Distances, Clear Processes, Strong Infrastructure

The venue at Heinz-Scheer-Straße 2-3 in 38126 Braunschweig is located near the A39 exit BS-Rautheim. Arriving by bus and train is explicitly recommended, as the parking spaces directly at the venue are very limited. With a valid ticket, the use of the buses and trains of Braunschweiger Verkehrs-GmbH on the respective festival day in tariff zone 40 is free of charge. On-site, barrier-free and care-friendly toilets, a wheelchair grandstand, paved paths, cable bridges, and a care team ensure a relaxed festival visit.
