Tons of Rock raises the bar yet again — defining how big, bold and international a lineup from Norway’s biggest festival can be. Today, the festival unveils a massive artist announcement featuring global phenomenon Yungblud, punk rock legends The Offspring, the uncompromising A Perfect Circle, guitar virtuoso Tom Morello, and Japan’s trailblazing Babymetal.
A global sensation on Norwegian soil
He’s a global phenomenon — a symbol of freedom, community, and rebellion. British artist Yungblud (Dominic Harrison) has skyrocketed from underground sensation to the voice of a generation.
With his explosive blend of punk, pop, hip-hop and electronica, he’s created a unique universe — boundless, raw and deeply human. Millions of fans follow him worldwide, and his U.S. tour sold out within seconds. Bringing Yungblud to Norway is nothing short of historic — only a handful of European festivals will feature him in 2026.
“Getting Yungblud to Tons of Rock is beyond incredible. He’ll play only a few European festivals next year, and we’re proud to be one of them. Alongside names like The Offspring, A Perfect Circle, Tom Morello and Babymetal, this lineup shows the international position Tons of Rock has achieved. 2026 will be a historic year for the festival and for Norwegian rock”,says Jarle Kvåle, General Manager of Tons of Rock.
Punk rock’s eternal energy bomb
They gave us the sound of the ‘90s rebellion with hits like “Self Esteem”, “Come Out and Play” and “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)”. The Offspring cemented their place in rock history as one of the most influential punk bands of all time.
