Rock For People is taking advantage of fans’ excitement for the holiday season by giving us an unconventional Advent calendar: the festival will announce one band per day for the 2026 festival lineup leading up to Christmas.
Yesterday, Dec. 1, the Advent calendar began with the announcement of American rock veterans A Day To Remember, and today the calendar continued with the announcement of rising LA-based hard rock band Badflower.
These announcements are creating a real buzz on the festival’s Instagram account, with the festival posting emojis that serve as clues to the following day’s announcement. Fans have been speculating in the comments and expressing their excitement not only for the coming announcements but also for the festival itself.
A Day To Remember has had a busy year, touring the UK and Europe this past summer and hitting the road in North America this fall. From the looks of it, they’re not slowing down for 2026. Badflower released their new album, No Place Like Home, over the summer, and they’re gearing up to take it on tour across North America beginning in February 2026. Their performances at Rock For People at 2026 are sure to be nothing short of incredible.
To try your hand at solving the daily riddles and to keep up with Rock For People’s Advent calendar, make sure to follow the festival on Instagram.
