Since its debut in 2024, Save the Core Festival has become one of Germany’s standout open-air events for punk and hardcore fans. Set in Nuremberg’s Stadionpark, the one-day festival has quickly earned a reputation for its sharp curation and raw atmosphere. The previous editions saw Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Religion, Millencolin, Wizo, The Baboon Show, Lagwagon, and Slapshot ignite the stage in front of thousands of visitors.
Now, the festival is gearing up for its third round on Saturday, 4 July 2026 – and the line-up looks massive. Headlining this year are the Sex Pistols, appearing with Frank Carter as frontman. Alongside them, fans can expect sets from Agnostic Front, Biohazard, and Walls of Jericho, representing the harder edge of the bill.
Also confirmed are The Bones, Strung Out, Jaya the Cat, and No Fun at All, rounding out a line-up that perfectly bridges punk energy and hardcore grit.
