Scooter announced to perform at Download Festival 2026

Author Benedetta Baldin - 28.11.2025

Scooter has been announced to perform at the Avalanche stage next year at Download Festival.

Scooter kicked off another powerhouse year in 2025 with a major headliner festival season across Europe and the explosive finale of their Thirty, Rough And Dirty! Tour.

The spectacular open-air shows closed a completely sold-out arena run through major cities in Germany and the UK!

With this momentum, the legendary techno formation around frontman H.P. Baxxter continues its remarkable success story.

Their 21st studio album, “Open Your Mind And Your Trousers,” debuted at #2 on the charts, adding another highlight to their unmatched chart legacy.

No other German band has achieved as many top-ten hits as Scooter, placing them among the most successful acts of all time — alongside global icons like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Rihanna, and Depeche Mode.

The impressive Scooter documentary FCK2020 further highlights the band’s ongoing success.
