Mystic Festival (PL) Release Daily Schedule Line-Ups

Who, when and where will induce your headbanging? Starting today it’s a mystery no more – Mystic Festival announced the detailed hourly program for the festival. There’s a couple of new names in the mix – Heathen, DVRK, and Species, as well as the winners of Road to Mystic: Unblessed Divine, Extensa, Bloodfeather, and Sever. Forbidden and Blood Vulture had to cancel their appearances at this year’s festival.

You can check out the schedule broken down by days below.

Forbidden will not make it to Mystic Festival this year; they have cancelled their entire European leg. This change of plans won’t ruin ours, however, as on June 4, the celebration of American thrash metal legacy will commence on the Main Stage as planned. Joining Megadeth, Anthrax, and Overkill, Heathen will put on quite the show on you on that day!

The name of Heathen should be uttered in the same breath as the other pioneers and masters of thrash from the Bay Area. Though the band led by Dave White had less luck than many of their peers, never getting their five minutes of fame, albums such as Breaking the Silence and Victims of Deception are true classics of the genre. But Heathen looks to the days ahead – the band recently signed with Napalm Records and look boldly onto the future.

The Frenchmen of DVRK are a new force on the European map of new metal – their sound is powerful, catchy, different. Though their debut album is on the way, you can already check out this lethal mix of deathcore and nu-metal live. Careful with these blast waves!

The Warsaw outfit Species delighted the world with their last year’s record, Changelings, their debut release with the 20 Buck Spin label. This season, the band’s otherworldly, technical, progressive thrash has been conquering stages all across Europe – Death To All invited them to join them on tour.

Unfortunately, the Blood Vulture project will not be able to perform at Mystic Festival in 2026. Jordan Olds, the artist behind the project, asked us to share the following statement: “I truly am crushed to have to cancel Blood Vulture’s appearance at Mystic Fest this year. The US healthcare system (like many US things right now) is a mess and so a medical procedure I was supposed to have in March has been rescheduled for mid-June and it’s affected all my plans overseas. This fest and its team are incredible and I have already rescheduled Blood Vulture’s appearance for 2027! Can’t wait to see ya’ll then."

The festival line-up includes Megadeth, Behemoth, Black Label Society, Anthrax, Down, Mastodon, Electric Wizard, Saxon, Blood Incantation, Ice Nine Kills, Cavalera plays Chaos A.D., Overkill, The Gathering plays Mandylion, Carpenter Brut, Bloodywood, Corrosion Of Conformity, Decapitated, Death To All, Six Feet Under, Static-X, Scour, Marduk, Rotting Christ, Coroner.

Mystic Festival will take place in Gdansk, Poland at the Gdansk Shipyard on June 3rd through 6th, 2026.
