Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Frontiers Music Srl regretfully announces some necessary changes to the Frontiers Rock Festival 2026 bill, and shares the confirmed set times for the event, set to take place on May 1, 2 and 3, 2026, at the Live Club in Trezzo sull’Adda (Milan), Italy.

Unfortunately, Frontline, Robin Beck, and House Of Lords will no longer be able to perform at this year’s edition of the Festival. These cancellations are due to serious and unexpected health issues affecting members of the artists involved.

While we are saddened that these performances can no longer take place, the health and wellbeing of the artists must take absolute priority. We extend our full support and best wishes to all those affected.

Frontiers Rock Festival is pleased to confirm that Russ Ballard, Dan Byrne and Smoking Snakes will join the line-up and perform at the festival.

The New Names Added To The FRF 2026

RUSS BALLARD
Russ Ballard is one of the most renowned songwriters in pop and rock music having written timeless hits for bands like Rainbow, KISS, Ace Frehley, Uriah Heep, Frida, America among others. His music career started when he was only 14 years old; during the 70’s and 80’s, his songs ruled the airwaves and the list of hits is pretty much endless. Numerous records/artists were also produced by him including Roger Daltrey, America, or Skindred. In 1974, he started a solo career. Since then, Russ released 10 studio albums, and his latest one, “Songs From The Warehouse / The Hits Rewired”, was released last year on Frontiers, containing new songs and brand new recordings of famous hits either penned or performed by him during the years. Get ready for an unforgettable show at the Frontiers Rock Festival, with a that set that will highlight his remarkable career as one of rock’s most influential songwriters and performers.

DAN BYRNE
Hotly-tipped UK rocker Dan Byrne debuted as a solo artist in 2023 with the EP “Beginnings”. His powerhouse, soul-inflected vocal and deftly-executed, yet hugely accessible songcraft has quickly marked him out as an artist on the rise. Dan has toured already the UK three times, delivered standout performances at multiple festivals and found overwhelming support from Planet Rock – the UK’s leading rock station. Byrne is set to release his long-awaited debut solo album, “This Is Where The Show Begins”, which will be exclusively available for early purchase at the Festival, marking the next powerful step in his evolution as an artist. Dan is now pleased to join the Frontiers Rock Festival line up, where he will bring his high energy rock and his vocal talent to the Italian audience!

SMOKING SNAKES
Hailing from Gothenburg, Smoking Snakes are steadily carving out their place in the sleaze metal scene with a sound that blends attitude, melody, and raw energy. Inspired by the great arena rock bands of the 1980s, their music has evolved beyond its roots to develop a distinct and recognizable identity of its own. Their new album “All Lights On” is set to arrive in July, delivering a collection of songs that balance grit and melody, showcasing a band that is becoming more confident, focused, and mature without losing its edge. The Frontiers Rock Festival audience is in for a treat, with a powerful performance showing their artistic growth, a clear sonic direction and a genuine passion for their craft.
