Madball live in MozHell Open Air 2026

An American hardcore punk band from New York, formed in the late 1980s. 

Maintaining urgency, authenticity and integrity has never been an issue for New York City ’s hardest, and hardest working band, MADBALL.

Throughout the band’s storied history, MADBALL has asserted its mission; carrying forth a simple yet righteous cause, and this time around, they’ve chosen to define that cause more succinctly than ever before. Tornadic voc alist/front man Freddy Cricien explains, “If you’re not fighting for a cause, you’re not participating in life. Simple as that. Speak up, fight, educate yourself, make a difference and make sacrifices for what’s important to you.” Words to live by.
