Hills of Rock 2026 will be welcoming Skindred to this year’s festival from 24 to 26 July at the Rowing Base (Grebna baza) in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, following the withdrawal of Nothing More, who have confirmed they will be stepping away from their summer tour to focus on new music and spend time with family. Bringing together 46 artists across three stages for three days of live music, Hills of Rock is the ultimate get away for true metalheads.
Taking over the slot, Skindred bring their unmistakable high-energy live show to Plovdiv and are another powerful name in an already stacked lineup. Known for their genre-defying sound and explosive performances, the Newport-formed band have built a global reputation as one of the most dynamic live acts in heavy music since forming in 1998.
Skindred fuse heavy metal with reggae, punk, hip hop and electronic influences, a style they have famously dubbed “ragga metal.” Fronted by the charismatic Benji Webbe, the band are renowned for their ability to command festival crowds, delivering performances that are as infectious as they are unpredictable. With new music on the horizon, including their forthcoming ninth album “You Got This “via Earache Records, the award winning Skindred continue to push their sound forward with heavyweight riffs, full-throttle rhythms and anthemic hooks.
The overall programme at Hills of Rock is designed as an immersive three-day experience, running from afternoon through to late evening across all stages in Plovdiv and the 2026 lineup includes Marilyn Manson, Godsmack, Electric Callboy, Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter, Black Label Society, Lamb of God, P.O.D., Nevermore, Paradise Lost, Of Mice & Men, House of Protection, Vended, Deafheaven, Karen Dió, The Toy Dolls, Last Train, Northlane, Orbit Culture, alongside a wide selection of Bulgarian and regional artists including Khanъ, Vrani Volosa, Tsar Plah, Hellion Stone, Black Tooth, Engineer of Death, Overhook, Django Ze, Neshto Tsvetno, Velian, H09909, P.I.F., Innerglow, Almost Green, Rusita, Koza Mostra, Bazzookas, Lek City Case, Karma Scale, Da Seed, Kontrol, GOTRA feat. VEL, Gigashadow, Lavina, low-key and Sunblinds.
In addition, the festival will feature for the first time a special opening event, BE4 HILLS (Before Hills), taking place on 23rd July. This dedicated concert day will see performances from Sabaton, Savatage, Epica and Bulgaria’s Sevi, setting the stage for the days that follow.

The journey of Spirit Adrift has come full circle. With Infinite Illumination—the group’s sixth album in a decade—mastermind Nathan Garrett is ready to unleash the heavy metal heroes’ final chapter. And Decibel is honored to help share it with the world via our own exclusive edition on Yellow Smoke colored vinyl limited to a scant 100 copies courtesy of our dear friends at 20 Buck Spin.
Housed in stunning gatefold sleeve (including an insert), the Spirit Adrift swan song is a return to the wellspring that first inspired Garrett, and a testament to a band who in the last 10 years has crafted an impeccable signature thoroughly their own, molded from the elemental matter of more than a half century of heavy metal exaltation.
Every melodic, epic and emotionally charged thread that defines the band’s legacy honors the animating force behind pure creative ambition. And at its core, Infinite Illumination carries both the weight of conclusion and the troubling realization that it is rarely painless to say farewell.
Don’t get left in the dark. Pre-order your copy of Infinite Illumination now!
