Bands

As long as guitar wunderwaffe Wolf Hoffmann is part of Accept, we will probably have to live with the fact that one of Germany's most traditional metal bands simply won't stop producing hits. In 2024, it will be 15 years since Mark Tornillo followed in the footsteps of his not exactly unknown predecessor and did - and still does - such a good job that the fan community followed unconditionally. For us, Accept is more than just a band - Accept is family. And you can go on holiday with them!

What do you do when your job as a late-night legend isn't quite enough? Right - then you start an acoustic rock cover project and get the crowd going. Sleep is overrated anyway!

Ale: Si! - Storm: No! Because we naturally want to please the weather gods, we're taking the weather off their hands for FMH and putting the job in the gentle hands of Alestorm.

The Scottish pirates, who like to overlay 8-bit sound over their wild drinking songs or conquer a giant rubber duck instead of a sea monster, are predestined to blow away even the last little cloud from the stage.
Raise the mugs! 

Comics & rock from outer space. Comics & rock from outer space! COMICS & ROCK FROM OUTER SPACE! If you’re still here: Congrats, you found Alien Rockin’ Explosion and their feel-good hard rock from another dimension. The four extraterrestrials are regulars and therefore Spock to our Kirk. Fascinating!

Legends are there to be passed on. This band has set itself the task of becoming a legend itself, and is simply working on passing it on. All For Metal - what's inside is what's on the label. Epic anthems, insane guitar solos, thundering drums, pounding bass and on top of that two frontmen and two female performers who look like they've come straight from fantasy land. We look forward to seeing how they transform the Iberostar stage into a wild battlefield!

There are many good references in their biography: Katatonia, Tool, Pain, but also Evergrey are mentioned here. And indeed, Cartesian Ghost offers a broadband diversity that cannot be denied: powerful, hypnotic, calm, sometimes going where it hurts, but always uniting in a conciliatory way. They themselves call it Arcane Metal. Mysterious it may be, but it shouldn't remain a secret. That's why we bring the Cartesian spirit to our stage!

This crew probably has the longest journey from faraway Canada to our cosy bay. But Danko Jones are only too happy to make the journey in order to fight with the rest of the musical representatives to see who can rock the boat live.

Danko Jones and band have been in the business for 28 years now, and - guess what - they're still just as hard-working as ever. In their last single, they modestly asked: ‘Do you wanna get high?’ We can answer this question with a ‘Hell yeah!’!

Exceptional bands - they are not uncommon in metal, and yet there are some groups that are completely different. Curtain up for the Apokalyptische Reiter! Hardly any other group in Germany can rely so much on their die-hard fans, who have gone along with every musical experiment, no matter how drastic. The seals are open, the riders are riding again, and they're coming to Mallorca!

Attention Amigas and Amigos - it's going to be epic! Are Flor de Rocka the Spanish Opeth - or does the soul of ex-guitarist Tolo Grimalt (Metalium) play a pretty big role in the sound of the Mallorcans? Even though Tolo is no longer part of the band, Flor de Rocka still come up with a big set of instruments: Sometimes Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, KISS...) is simply put on the keys, other times singer Nico magically tunes the flute in the finest Jethro Tull manner. A must for all widescreen metal fans and possibly also a little incentive to take a quick crash course in Spanish.

If it weren't for the Full Metal Cruise, the Full Metal Holiday would be a hot contender for the title of ‘Noah's Ark of the musically tough’. In keeping with the theme, we have invited Gaupa (the Swedish word for ‘lynx’), who are sure to draw a lynx or two to the stage with their unique blend of doom, folk and stoner.

One could argue about whether the retro wave that kicked off at the end of the 00s was largely initiated by Graveyard or whether they were just one element in this perfect storm. What is clear is that the band has not only released a lot of important and great albums since then, but is still as relevant today as ever to the snot-brake, bell-bottom faction! Everyone else too, of course - that's why they're here!

In between all the international haute cuisine that we serve you here every day, you can also enjoy something regional from time to time. Hyde XXI are true Mallorcans and delight the ears and eyes with progressive symphonic metal. These metallic tapas are delicious!

A steel colossus emerged from the forges of Gamma Ray and Helloween in the mid-90s. In 2024, none of the aforementioned bands are still on board, but the Iron Saviour still stands as it once did - invincible, powerful, its cannons loaded with whipping power metal! Who wouldn't want to be saved?

More vicious, more brutal – with their newest output “The Poison Chalice”, Legion Of The Damned once again bring death and corruption upon us. Their already proven mixture of black and death metal combined with the raw speed of thrash brings joy to metalheads for almost 30 years. But with the addition of guitarist Fabian Verweij, everything sounds even a bit more vile. Advanced neckstretching is highly recommended.

14 years old, black hair! While most people that age are sweating over their schoolwork, Samy Elbanna has founded his combo Lost Society. It's a good thing that Lost Society haven't had to worry about a normal job and the qualifications that go with it for a long time. First the Finns won the world's stages with pure thrash, then they reinvented themselves and expanded their programme with a fat ladle of modern metal. That's just fine with us - rumour has it that both go great with a cocktail by the pool.

Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only, the true king of the home organ: Mambo Kurt! His name is at least as dazzling as his looks. And there is actually no need for a grand introduction of his person. Nevertheless, this much can be said: make way for the king, because this year he can once again be found wherever entertainment is the order of the day.

Are you bored of the same old greatest hits compilations? Want to get out of your comfort zone and experience something new? No problem! Mandowar are exactly the splash of banana juice in your Hefeweizen that you're missing. Armed with mandolin, guitar and ukulele bass, the three musicians from Wetzlar present world rock and metal hits in a new guise. Refreshment guaranteed.

With Metalite’s skillful use of electronic elements, influenced by the trance era of the early 21st century, spherical layers mix with shimmering sequences and stoic beats that wrap themselves around the massive, melodic and outrageously catchy wall of sound like a second skin. The new singer Erica Ohlsson once again underlines the charged symphonic metal with her presence and, of course, a remarkable voice “made in Sweden”.

Moritz Hempel or Mutz for short: Following the breakup of Mutz & The Blackeyed Banditz, he decided to go solo and this one is capable to give a touch of rock ’n’ roll even to the calmest sounds. His voice reminds of Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder and is likewise capable to transport great emotions. For fans of more laid-back stuff this is it!

Mystic Prophecy, the power metal institution led by Kostas Karamitroudis, hail from the tranquil shire called Allgäu. The band has been in the business for over 20 years and, despite a fast-moving line-up merry-go-round, they keep on delivering, so you have to keep the clock ticking. There's not much to predict here: you can simply rely on Mystic Prophecy to be the fast-paced hit and favourite of the hearts on Mallorca too.

If Peter Pan and No Man's Land symbolise never growing up, then Neverland In Ashes is the antithesis. The dark sides are not concealed here, but skilfully combined with the light. Great!

The Prince of Darkness isn’t in his best shape. If you still don’t wanna miss out on an opportunity to see and hear the flamboyant bat-lover Ozzy, Ozzyfied are for you. White Lion’s keyboard player Henning Wanner and his companions present the Ozzy catalogue with a lot of passion. You won’t get any closer to the real deal nowadays. All aboard?!

Did you ever get boarded by female pirates? If your answer is no, you need to register now and soon you’ll set sails with the girls from Pirate Queen. Witness the full pirate experience and go on a treasure hunt, drink rum on paradise-like beaches while assaulting the nearby port at night. Parrots and eye patches not included. Ahoy!

Is there anything not to love about this band? As the world's only female Iron Maiden cover band, The Iron Maidens have been travelling the world with the sound of the British legends since 2001. Don't worry: even the biggest fan won't get red cheeks here, because talent comes first with The Iron Maidens. These women are highly qualified professionals with a diverse musical background ranging from orchestra and musical theatre to blues and rock.

Things went really well for The Night Eternal last year: top position in Metal Hammer with their latest disc ‘Fatale’ and, in addition to countless gigs all over the world, their first appearance at Wacken on top. 2024 looks set to top that, because after the Essen-based band have finished their tour with the satanic double act Lucifer and Coven and a hot summer is on the cards, they'll be visiting us on the island with their fine, powerful-voiced doom rock.

Disco and metal don’t go together? THEY DO! And if you don’t believe us, believe Tragedy, founding fathers of disco metal. The New York outfit got all your guilty pleasures wrapped in a glammy sound. Dance to “Le Freak”, get emotional with “I Will Survive” or start your own moshpit with “I’m So Excited” – anything goes! Put on your platform boots and head to the dancefloor.

Just imagine being around in the music business for 50 years. You created the sound of the early Scorpions and later put out music as a solo artist. The word “legend” is used too frequently nowadays, but regarding Uli Jon Roth, it just seems to fit perfectly. The sheer charisma of this one-of-a-kind guitarist and his meaning to the world of music is presented in a worthy way in his current live shows.
