The countdown to a monumental celebration has begun — OPEN AIR GRÄNICHEN 2026 launches its 30th anniversary with an explosive first announcement: the return of THE GHOST INSIDE. The American metalcore giants from California will bring their emotionally charged sound, unstoppable energy, and unbreakable spirit to Switzerland next summer, setting the tone for what promises to be a historic edition of the beloved festival.
Known for their raw intensity and deeply personal songwriting, THE GHOST INSIDE stand as a symbol of resilience. After surviving a devastating bus accident in 2015, the band’s triumphant comeback has inspired millions worldwide. Their performances are more than concerts — they are cathartic moments of unity and survival. When they take the stage at Open Air Gränichen 2026, expect nothing less than a defining moment in the festival’s storied history.
As the festival celebrates 30 years of music, community, and chaos, it also marks 32 years since its founding, a testament to its unwavering commitment to Switzerland’s alternative music scene. Despite the mud-soaked madness of 2025 — dubbed one of the wettest editions ever — Open Air Gränichen has continued to thrive, consistently selling out and delivering unforgettable weekends fueled by passion and authenticity.
Driven by a dedicated core team and more than 500 volunteers, Open Air Gränichen remains one of the most heartfelt and community-rooted festivals in Europe. With a reputation for mixing global headliners and underground favorites across metal, punk, and rock, the 2026 edition promises to honor its legacy while charging headlong into a new era. The first name has been revealed — THE GHOST INSIDE — and the message is clear: the anniversary year will be one for the ages.
The Gränichen Open Air 2026 will take place on August 1st and 31st, 2026. Advance ticket sales and further highlights from 2025 are available on the official website:
