Emo and pop punk, grown out of the DIY scene in Münster. Over 250 shows, tours across Europe, and with their third album To Figure Out the first German band to sign to US label Pure Noise Records.
Big hooks and layered choruses meet heavy guitars and lyrics that are allowed to hurt. Live that means melodies you sing along to after two rounds, and moments where the hall is louder than the PA.
A five-piece from Schwerte and Dortmund between post-hardcore, pop punk and rock. Shaped by the bands of their youth and by current post-hardcore.
Dense walls of guitar, big melodies and songs that shift between push and calm. On stage, a band that takes the room with them from the first minute.
Melodic post-hardcore from Essen, five musicians, ten years on German stages. They write all their songs and lyrics themselves — about anxiety and depression, about nature, peace and war.
Clean singing against brutal shouts, hard riffs, moshpits and a stage show with lights and a running start. Anyone leaving an Avalanche show carries the night home with them.
Pop punk and emo from Unna and Münster, fully DIY: Marco, Jonas, Toby and Konzo produced their 2024 EP Mouth Wide Open themselves. Live debut supporting the Donots, followed by a sold-out release show in Dortmund and festivals across NRW.
Musically it goes back to the golden pop punk era of the early 2010s, somewhere between Neck Deep and State Champs. Catchy songs about relationships, mental health and the occasional emotional wreck.
The line-up for 9 January 2027 is complete. For the next Mayhem Fest we are looking for new bands: anything between punk, hardcore, metal and loud rock. You play a big stage with house production, a soundcheck and catering.
