Dropkick Murphys
Banjo, flute, organ, accordion. Not the usual gear for a punk band, right? Well, Dropkick Murphys are not a usual punk band. They started in 1996 in Quincy, Massachusetts. The members come from an Irish-Catholic working-class neighborhood. Not so strange that their sound mixes traditional Irish folk with heavier punk music. Think of a pub sing-along that got very, very loud. They’re no strangers to Jera On Air. They’ve played here many times, and this year, they’re headlining the festival once again. We know that every time they take the stage, they turn our tent upside down and inside out. And every time, they make sure you end the festival day with a smile on your face. Expect a big, happy party with a bit of a rough edge. Jera On Air 2027 is ready for another Irish-punk night. Grab a friend, grab a drink, and sing along!
Simple Plan
Scooby-Doo on stage at a punk show? With Simple Plan, that’s normal. When they play “What’s New Scooby-Doo?”, the Scooby-Doo characters join in on the fun. This Canadian pop punk band started in 1999 and has built a loyal fanbase over the years. Today, they’re also very popular on TikTok, with funny videos about life in the band and collaborations with artists like singer LØLØ and Jared Reddick of Bowling for Soup. In 2026, they also released a children’s book inspired by their single “I’m Just a Kid”. This band does it all. We’re very happy to welcome these pop punk favorites back to Jera On Air. And we can almost guarantee that the setlist will include “Perfect”, “Jet Lag”, “Shut Up” and “Welcome to My Life”. Let’s make this set our ultimate summer paradise!
The Interrupters
Hips or fists? At a The Interrupters show, you get both. This ska-punk band from Los Angeles is led by singer Aimee Allen. Behind her are brothers Kevin, Justin and Jesse Bivona. On tour, Billy Kottage joins them on trombone, adding that unmistakable ska sound. We know them well, because they’ve played Jera On Air before. Every time, they turn our festival into one big party. Their song “She’s Kerosene” has more than 77 million streams on Spotify, so you probably know it already. And if not, give it a spin! In the crowd, you can shake your hips and dance. But a swinging mosh pit is always possible too. The mood is happy, the songs swing, and your feet will probably move more than you expect. Jera On Air 2027 needs a good party. The Interrupters are coming to start it. Dance, jump and sing along with them!
From Ashes to New
Bands change. Members come and go. But From Ashes to New has always had vocalist Matt Brandyberry. He is the founder and the only constant member since 2013. In recent years, the line-up has been pretty steady, and you can hear that in their music. The band mixes rap rock and nu-metal, drawing inspiration from Linkin Park, Papa Roach and Eminem. Their album “Reflections” came out in April 2026. Music magazine NINE:32 called it predictable but powerful: “The pace is high and the whole thing pounds on convincingly.” In September 2026, they followed it up with the new single “LOVE ME” and more to come. Expect a fast tempo, a heavy sound, rap verses and big choruses to shout along to. This is music made to hit hard and get the whole crowd moving. We’re ready to see them rise from the ashes on the Jera On Air 2027 stage. So, warm up your voice!
grandson
grandson is the stage name of Jordan Edward Benjamin, a singer, songwriter and rapper. He speaks out strongly, in his music and on stage, about political corruption, corporate greed and the destruction of the environment. One of his biggest hits, "Blood // Water", is about these topics. His newest album "INERTIA" came out in the autumn of 2025. Kerrang! gave it four out of five and wrote that his music is "far too urgent to ever get lost in the righteous noise." NINE:32 wrote in its review that he still packs his message in a way that is "straight to the point, sharply worded and socially relevant." Live, his shows hit hard. They feel like a protest with like-minded people, while you simply have the best time. Part protest, part party: that is a grandson show!
Kanonenfieber
Kanonenfieber is an anonymous blackened death metal band from Bamberg, Germany, with more than 236,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Their lyrics are all about World War I, with many songs inspired by real letters, diaries and documents written by soldiers, including the diary of the singer’s own great-grandfather. To preserve that sense of authenticity, the band sings exclusively in German, giving songs like “Menschenmühle”, “Sturmtrupp” and “Die Feuertaufe” a harsh, marching and theatrical feel. Metal.de described the style of their debut album as black/death metal and compared its atmosphere to 1914 and Bolt Thrower. Just a taste of what’s to come. Expect a heavy, dark and dramatic show. On stage, the band wears masks and military-style clothing. No names. No faces. Just stories from the trenches. Jera On Air is ready for the front line. Are you?
LOCKED SHUT
A popular SoundCloud rapper who now fronts a hardcore band? Yes, and believe us: it hits hard. LOCKED SHUT is a hardcore band from Columbia, Missouri, formed in 2023. Frontman Alex Kelly is also known for his successful solo career as Oliver Francis. The band plays metallic hardcore with a heavy Midwest style: fast, heavy and straightforward. Their debut album, “The New Chaos”, came out in 2024, and fans have been happily playing tracks like “Steel Spine” and “Me vs. a Brick Wall” on repeat. Their popularity keeps growing, and they completely sold out their first UK tour in the fall of 2026, with fans already demanding that they visit mainland Europe as well. Live, the shows are dirty, hard-hitting and full of that underground hardcore vibe. Expect a loud, raw set with no filter at all. This “new” chaos is coming to Jera On Air 2027, and you don’t want to miss it. So get them on your priority list!
Terminal Sleep
Terminal Sleep is a heavy band from Melbourne, Australia. They are unapologetic about their fierce style, a melting pot of heavy music that champions self-empowerment, gender equality and the importance of mental health. Early 2026, the band had to cancel shows because drummer Todd Tombleson needed surgery for a spinal injury. They told fans they would come back stronger than ever with new music on the horizon. 2027 looks to be the year they return to the spotlight, and maybe we’ll even hear some new music in their live set. Expect a loud and fearless show. As one fan on their Facebook page put it: “They make me want to give my neck a nice workout.” After a year without touring, they’ll have plenty of energy to unleash. Jera On Air is ready for their comeback, so you’d better bring a strong neck!
