The 2026 edition of the Berzerkus festival has unveiled its lineup, and it's a heavy one. LAMB OF GOD will headline both days: August 28 at Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and August 29 at Northwell at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York.
Joining them are BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, DOWN, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, and ZAKK SABBATH — Zakk Wylde's BLACK SABBATH tribute outfit. Additional acts: DARK CHAPEL, FAN HALEN, BONFIRE, and USE YOUR ILLUSION, with the latter two at Scranton only.
Beyond the music, Berzerkus is a full metal lifestyle experience: custom car exhibitions, gear showcases, strongman competitions, a hot sauce eating challenge, and "Ride For Dime" — a tribute to the late PANTERA guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott.
Presales launched May 5 at 12 p.m. ET; general admission and VIP packages open May 8. Launched in 2024, Berzerkus has grown into one of the most distinctive regional metal events on the U.S. calendar.
