📣 Der geplante The Smith Street Band Gig am 06.06.2026 fällt aus. Wegen im Raum stehender Vorwürfe gegen den Sänger Wil Wagner aus 2019 und unzureichender Aufarbeitung dieser, möchte das Heizhaus der Band keine Bühne bieten.
Auch wir als KNRD Fest e.V. haben uns tiefgehend mit der Sachlage beschäftigt und im Prozess verschiedene Perspektiven ausgehalten und diskutiert. Wir haben sie zum Anlass genommen, uns noch stärker mit unserer Verantwortung als Veranstaltende zu beschäftigen und werden das auch weiterhin ganz bewusst tun. Als Veranstaltende von Punkrock Shows verstehen wir es als unsere Verantwortung, auf gesellschaftliche Missstände wie Sexismus und Gewalt gegen Frauen aufmerksam zu machen. Wir verstehen die Entscheidung des Heizhaus, auch wenn wir in diesem Fall zu einem anderen Schluss gekommen wären.
Vor allem wünschen wir uns eine Community, die auch weiterhin offen im Austausch bleibt, in der auch Unangenehmes angesprochen werden kann und die verschiedene Perspektiven erstmal aushält, damit sich wirklich etwas ändern kann. Bitte sagt uns auch zukünftig, wenn ihr das Gefühl habt, dass wir problematischen Personen eine Bühne bieten. Danke!
Alle, die bereits ein Ticket gekauft haben, bekommen ihr Geld in den nächsten Tagen zurück überwiesen.
👾💫👾 Nintendo Punk from Hamburg at KNRD Fest? Absolutely! Tested at NPF 26 and deemed absolutely awesome. Kem Trail – or Thommy – who, by his own admission, has a cocktail hobby that's gotten out of hand, will send you on a wild goose chase after his set on the Tent Stage late into the night, providing the perfect finale to Friday. Disclaimer: Anyone who only sees in 2D and hears in 8-bit after that has done everything right 🤝🏻😍

💥 AKD – These three letters stand for three village punks from the Oberpfalz: Jak (guitar/vocals), Franky (bass/vocals), and Luki (drums/vocals).
"A life of dignity and freedom for all people, regardless of origin, skin color, or religious affiliation."
AKD has adopted this message as their motto and has been playing stages throughout Germany since 2006 (until 2011 as a punk rock cover band). The three punks have also gained a foothold in Austria and Poland, impressing audiences with their songs and performances.
Their latest album, "Alles auf Hoffnung" (released in 2026), demonstrates that music can still be a statement today.

@sunlinerband is a promise. A promise of intensity and singalongs. Jake's voice cuts through with razor-sharp precision as we lie in each other's arms, blissfully drunk, not wanting KNRD Fest to end, when we suddenly realize that we're all basically living in palliative care. What can we say? KNRD Fest is the best palliative care ward in the world. It gets everyone one day eventually. Sorry, not sorry 😉

Watch out! The Penske File have been playing folky punk rock longer than most people even know what they want to do with their lives. Not bad, right? James Hall, Travis Miles, and Alexander Standen grew up together in Ontario and have been through a lot together. You can tell immediately when they step onto the stage - the three of them are so in sync that they blindly follow each other's every emotional outburst – almost brazenly harmonious. Sooo get ready for their debut set at KNRD 😍

💫 fab as in FABulous?
@fab_muc_official is a feminist synth-punk band from Munich that catched KNRD with their fun, engaging energy when they first saw them live: angry, political and danceable, yeiiiih! Their songs are against macho guys and dirty potatoes (what else could you wish for?) and for more chardonnay in the urine (sorry, öttinger...). So get ready everyone, let’s go FAB 🥂

Wollstiefel – Wool & Boots. Let's be honest, this acoustic duo has been rumored to be at KNRD for over a decade, there have been countless emails back and forth, but it never quite worked out. Who was to blame? Probably good old, clueless KNRD. But anyways, now it's finally happening. Wollstiefel will be rocking the Tent Stage with their cajon and acoustic guitar. Sorry for the wait.

Ok, @sadaxeband are next! Sad + axe? What does that even mean? Emotional damage, but make it loud? Being sad and shred KNRD's forest? Lirum, larum: KNRD doesn’t know, but loves what they hear! It’s loud, it’s gritty, it’s got teeth — and just enough melody to get stuck in your head while everything else falls apart.
Catch them in the woods and bring your best coping mechanisms (or don’t).

📣 Shoutout tooooo...
These four amazing people have already blown KNRD away twice. First at Nasty Cut Fest in Copenhagen (Shoutout #1) and then in February at the legendary birth of Nürnberg Punk Fest (Shoutout #2). So naturally, we need Buds. (yes, the FULLSTOP is part of the band name) now on the most intense clearing in the history of woods, and we're over the moon that they've answered the call. This set will be a highlight, we promise. High-energy, grungy as fuck, and just real. Buds! Fullstop!
