New layout & extra stage
For this anniversary edition, the organization is going bigger than ever. The Seepark Zülpich grounds will feature a completely redesigned layout for the first time, including updated pathways, a smarter use of space and new stage concepts.
In previous years, visitors could explore the Main, RAW, CORE and Classics stages, each with its own sound. In 2026, an extra dimension is added with the introduction of a fifth area: X-TRA RAW. This brings the total to 5 stages, offering an even broader musical spectrum and a more immersive festival experience.
Exclusive shows & talent
Beyond regular sets, Into The Madness is also investing in exclusive show concepts and unique live elements developed specifically for the festival. More details on these will be announced in the coming weeks. Emerging talent will once again be given the opportunity to showcase themselves alongside established names.
Full spectrum of harder styles
The Mainstage brings together the biggest names and show concepts. Brennan Heart, D-Block & S-te-Fan and Rebelion form the core of the line-up, while Da Tweekaz take on a central role as this year’s anthem makers. In addition, Sickmode & Krowdexx present their Noisemakers show and The Saints deliver Holy Dreams.
The RAW stage leans into the heavier side of the spectrum with names like Radical Redemption, Warface and Toza, alongside b2b sets such as Regain & Rejecta.
The new X-TRA RAW area pushes things even further, focusing on a heavier, more uncompromising raw sound. Artists include Unload, Coldax LIVE and Faceless b2b The Smiler, as well as the b3b by Chapter V, Infliction & Repeller.
On the CORE stage, the focus shifts to hardcore and uptempo. D-Fence, Lekkerfaces and Kili b2b The Dope Doctor are part of the line-up, while Gezellige Uptempo brings full chaos with Sh!t Happens.
The Classics stage offers a contrast with a selection of older sounds, featuring names such as Crest, Gregor Le Dahl and Laugherboy.
