The collaboration between Rejecta and Devin Wild brings together two worlds that seem far apart on paper. “Forged in fire,” as the organization describes it, where pure emotion meets raw power, combining hard kicks with melodies that stick. In ‘We Are Fire’, that contrast results in an anthem where energy and emotion collide.

According to HARDFEST, ‘We Are Fire’ marks the moment everything comes back to life. As one of the first outdoor festivals of the season, the event aims to start at full throttle, no slow build-up, but instant maximum intensity. That energy forms the core of the anthem.

From teaser to reveal

For attentive fans, the news doesn’t come as a complete surprise. In the PLAFONDDIENST Podcast, Rejecta previously hinted at something big: “I’ve got some cool things planned for next year. Also an anthem… but I can’t say for which one yet.” With HARDFEST’s announcement, the puzzle pieces now fall into place.

First-ever joint performance

The anthem will premiere live on April 18, when Rejecta and Devin Wild perform together for the first time at HARDFEST. The set will kick off with a special anthem show, with ‘We Are Fire’ taking center stage.

Rejecta & Devin Wild – We Are Fire drops next Friday via SCANTRAXX and is already available for pre-save.

“We really can’t wait to start the season with you again!”

HARDFEST 2026 takes place on Saturday, April 18 at the University of Twente. With the addition of an official anthem, new stage concepts, and a line-up covering the full spectrum of harder styles, from classics to raw and uptempo, the festival once again promises a powerful kick-off to the festival season.
