We are DEF CRÜE – and we’re not here to play it quiet.
At the Wacken Metal Battle 2026, we’re bringing our bad-ass hard rock with a metal edge to the stage – delivering crushing riffs, raw energy, and a show that hits you straight in the face.

Eight bands. One stage. One goal: the ticket to Wacken.
From death metal to progressive rock – the competition is fierce, but we’re ready to tear it all down.

This is not just another gig – this is a battle. And you’re part of it.
Headbang, feel it, vote – and help decide who takes the next step toward Wacken Open Air.

🔥 8 bands – 1 winner – 1 ticket to Wacken
🔥 Full throttle. Loud. Unstoppable.
