Rumble & Thunder
August 15, 2026 - it's that time of year again!
When American classics on two and four wheels come together, the Thunderbike grounds become a stage for authentic U.S. car and motorcycle culture. From choppers with rigid frames to V8 hot rods and meticulously built lowriders – every vehicle brings its own character and history.
Many of the bikes and cars have been with their owners for decades and have been repeatedly reworked, refined, and upgraded. That’s exactly what makes this gathering so appealing: authentic vehicles, custom modifications, and a wealth of passion for American classics.
Starting at 10 a.m., our place will turn into a gathering spot for true enthusiasts: You can look forward to a wide variety of artists from the custom scene, roaring engines, the rich sound of V8 engines, and lots of interesting conversations about cars.

The event will be highlighted by 16 selected artists from the local scene, who will bring the true spirit to life with their booths and craftsmanship until 4:00 p.m.
Once again this year, we’re thrilled to welcome numerous familiar faces from the custom scene to Rumble & Thunder. Among those attending are pinstriping artist Chiko, UZEY Tattoo & Art, tattoo artists Benni Radtke and Hang Loose Tattoo, as well as our Rumble and Thunder-illustrator Jan Meininghaus, who once again designed the official Rumble & Thunder artwork. By the way, this year’s design is also available as an event T-shirt for purchase right here on site:
In addition, we’re looking forward to welcoming many more artists and exhibitors, such as Markus from Waffle Style, Carlo Engravings with his exquisite engravings, Rebate Upcycling, our event barber Stefan Knaup, Juppel’s Kustom Carpets, The Barn Ink Co. with tattoo-inspired leatherwork, Miller Seats Upholstery, Murder Murals with airbrush and custom painting, RevierLiebe with art and illustration, and Formwechsel Custom, which transforms old skateboards into new, one-of-a-kind pieces.
Brand new at Rumble & Thunder this year, we welcome Dikkie and Patty from the Netherlands with their label: Quiet Rebels. The two are bringing a selection of vintage and secondhand fashion, accessories, hand-painted one-of-a-kind pieces, and digital art. If you’re into authentic old-school style and unique finds, you should definitely stop by their booth.
