Taking place at the Amphitheater in Gelsenkirchen, the festival has grown from its 2022 debut into one of the most beloved gatherings for fans of folk-rock and medieval music in the German-speaking world.
As hosts and headliners, SCHANDMAUL will take the stage on both evenings, delivering their signature blend of poetic lyrics, driving energy, and commanding stage presence. Joining them is a carefully curated lineup of like-minded acts: FIDDLER’S GREEN bring their decades of relentless speedfolk energy infused with Celtic melodies and punk attitude, while SUBWAY TO SALLY offer their distinctive fusion of folk, metal, and dark romanticism.
Rounding out the confirmed lineup are WIND ROSE, whose epic storytelling and thunderous sound make them a formidable festival presence, alongside RAUHBEIN and DOPPELBOCK, who contribute rock with grit and character. IRDORATH add a layer of mystical atmosphere to proceedings, while DEUS VULT inject raw power into the bill. Further acts are expected to be announced in the coming months.
Beyond the music, the FOLKFIELD FESTIVAL offers a medieval market and camping facilities, making it a full immersive experience for attendees. The atmospheric setting along the waterfront remains one of the event’s most distinctive features.
