METALFEST OPEN AIR 2026 – Lochotín Amphitheatre, PILSEN – 5.–7. 6. 2026

The legendary GOTTHARD continue their quest to reach the top of the charts! They recently released an electrifying new single “Ride The Wave”, which will appear on their upcoming mini album “More Stereo Crush”. The band brings you a great anthem, driven by rough guitar riffs and strong vocals from Nico Maeder, to make you even more excited for June’s Pilsen METALFEST, where this famous band will perform live!


“Ride The Wave” follows the success of the album “Stereo Crush” from March 2025, which ranked at the top of not only the Swiss charts. With the song “Ride The Wave”, GOTTHARD invite you to enjoy an unforgettable experience, leave all the negativity behind and continue the celebration of life that they created on the album “Stereo Crush”.


“‘Ride The Wave’ went through several versions and recording sessions before we finally found the right atmosphere for the album. It has raw, old-school rock energy with rough guitar riffs and a strong vocal performance from Nico Maeder,” says guitarist Freddy Scherer about the single.

GOTTHARD fans really have something to look forward to! GOTTHARD live at the beginning of June 2026 in the Pilsen amphitheater Lochotín, at the 15th edition ot the international metal festival METALFEST OPEN AIR!
