In the summer of 2026, BLACKOUT PROBLEMS are opening a new chapter: with their first-ever headline open-air shows, the band is bringing its intense live energy to outdoor stages for the first time. After years of performing in clubs and at festivals, they are taking the next step—hosting two special evenings at unique venues.
BLACKOUT PROBLEMS will play at the Freideck – Kantine Open Air in Cologne and at the atmospheric Katharinenruine in Nuremberg. Blending alternative music with modern rock elements, the band is known for honest emotion, uncompromising dynamics, and a captivating connection with the audience. These 2026 open-air shows mark a major milestone, promising unforgettable summer nights for both longtime fans and new listeners.
“We’ve dreamed of this for a long time. Now, we’re taking the leap. See you in 2026.”

Blackout Problems is an alternative rock and dark-pop band from Munich, Germany. Formed in 2012, they have earned a massive reputation for their energetic live shows, intense post-hardcore influences, and deeply personal, socially conscious English lyrics. The band smoothly blends heavy punk rock and alternative foundations with modern dark-pop and electronic elements. Their intense sound draws direct inspiration from prominent British and American post-hardcore acts like Enter Shikari and Rise Against.
