Field Invasion Festival

Metal in the Westerwald

Since its early editions, the Field Invasion Festival has developed into a popular meeting point for the Westerwald and northern German metal scene. Unlike large commercial festivals, Field Invasion consciously remains small, personal, and non-commercially oriented. The event is organized by an association that reinvests its earnings into fees for the bands, the festival grounds, security, and sanitary facilities.

2026 Program

In 2026, the festival will feature two headliners from the German and international metal scene on stage: Artemis Rising and Backstabbed. Other confirmed bands include STESY, MILENKO, RISING RUIN, SNOW WHITE BLOOD, and COLORS OF AUTUMN. The musical spectrum encompasses Modern Metal, Heavy Rock, Melodic Metal, Polka/Punk/Ska Crossover, and Indie Sound. This mix suits the target audience of non-purist festival-goers seeking an open sonic space.

'Field Invasion goes Green'

The 'goes Green' motto stands for consistent sustainability: reusable cups, extensive avoidance of single-use plastics, waste separation, vegetarian and vegan food as equivalent options, regional purchasing for food, and cooperation with local initiatives. The festival aims to show that metal and environmental awareness go hand in hand.

Camping, Chill-Out, Hot Tub

Camping is included on the festival grounds. Festival-goers can pitch their tents amidst concerts, food stalls, and meeting areas. A hot tub area offers a place to relax—an unusual but effective gesture from the 'small festival' with attention to detail.

Tickets and Prices

Weekend tickets are available from 49 Euros—a comparatively low price that reflects the festival's non-commercial orientation. Day tickets and camping are often included in weekend tickets; details can be found on the festival website.
