Save the Core — Festival information

Nürnberg’s industrial pulse amplifies at "Save the Core," a raw outpouring of hardcore punk and its gritty kin. This isn't your average outdoor singalong; expect a churning pit of fervent energy where Agnostic Front’s legendary roar meets Biohazard’s metallic assault, alongside the infectious ska-punk rhythms of Jaya The Cat. It’s a primal gathering for those who live and breathe aggressive music, a cultural testament to the enduring power of rebellion and community within Germany's historic heartland. Feel the unvarnished intensity as walls of sound crash over an ecstatic crowd, a celebration of defiance in every blistering riff and shouted chorus.
