One month left to go, Call Of The Wild Festival fantastic three day line up. Tickets available at https://www.gigantic.com/call-of-the-wild-festival-tickets

Call of the Wild Festival returns to Lincolnshire Showground from 28–31 May 2026, and this year’s event is building serious momentum. With headliners Florence Black, Onslaught, and Von Hertzen Brothers already confirmed, organisers have now announced a fresh wave of artists joining the line-up: Dead Zebras, Beggars Bliss, Wailing Banshee, JoanOvArc, Dead Reynolds, White Lightning, For the Forsaken, and Holyrude Vault. They join a stacked bill across the Kilmister, Southall Lawless, and Trailblazer stages, including standout appearances from Myke Gray and Wolfsbane. From Florence Black’s Friday headline set, to Onslaught’s ferocious Saturday performance, and Von Hertzen Brothers closing Sunday, 2026 is shaping up to be one of the festival’s most diverse editions yet. Blending established names with rising talent, the weekend also features Glamour of the Kill, The Five Hundred, Chez Kane, The Hot One Two, Voodoo Sioux, Marc Valentine, and more — delivering a mix of discovery, nostalgia, and pure rock ’n’ roll energy. The festival kicks off with a Thursday Welcome Party featuring The Needful Things, This House We Built, and Takeaway Thieves, setting the tone for four days of live music. With limited tickets remaining and anticipation rising, Call of the Wild Festival 2026 promises an unmissable weekend for rock and metal fans. Tickets and full line-up: CALLOFTHEWILDFESTIVAL.COM
