RELOAD FESTIVAL 2026 has announced a range of new additions designed to make the festival experience more practical and accessible. Alongside the launch of its official mobile app, the festival is introducing a new ride-sharing initiative and, for the first time, special train services connecting Diepholz and Sulingen.

Available as a free download for both iOS and Android devices, the official RELOAD FESTIVAL app gives attendees access to all essential festival information in one place. The app features the latest news, the full timetable, and an overview of everything happening across the festival grounds. Users can also create personalized schedules by marking their favorite artists, while push notifications ensure they won't miss upcoming performances. Even in areas with limited mobile reception, the app remains fully functional offline, keeping key information readily accessible.

The festival is also rolling out new travel solutions for 2026. Visitors will be able to connect with fellow festivalgoers heading to Sulingen through a dedicated ride-sharing platform or offer available seats in their own vehicles. The initiative aims to reduce travel costs while promoting a more sustainable way to get to the festival.

Another notable addition for this year's edition is a special train service operating between Diepholz and Sulingen. Running on selected days and at scheduled times throughout the festival, the service is intended to make traveling to and from the festival site more convenient. Shuttle buses will be available to transport passengers arriving in Sulingen on Wednesday directly to the festival grounds. Tickets can be purchased on board the train, with one-way fares set at €5.

Taking place from August 13–15, 2026, RELOAD FESTIVAL will feature performances from JUDAS PRIEST, IN FLAMES, ARCH ENEMY, LAMB OF GOD, GODSMACK, AIRBOURNE, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, AMORPHIS, SOULFLY, DEAFHEAVEN, GAEREA, TERROR, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, KITTIE, PALEFACE SWISS, THY ART IS MURDER, and many more. With its new digital tools and expanded transportation options, the festival aims to deliver an even more comfortable experience for attendees this year.
