Photoemission is today one of the most powerful techniques for investigating low-energy properties of matter from the aerosol and adsorbate nanoparticles and molecules to the surface and bulk of solid state matter with many dedicated and specialized beamlines at synchrotron radiation facilities. The upcoming ultra-brilliant FEL sources, giving access to ultrashort timescales in the fs range, in combination with the outstanding peak brilliance achieved, set the stage for novel science. Experiments on X-ray FEL sources are being pioneered and planned at low repetition rate facilities (FLASH, LCLS, SACLA, FERMI). The European XFEL that will come in early user operation already in 2017 will be characterized by laser action from 260 eV to 25 keV photon energy and above. The facility will also yield an extremely high mean brilliance with a repetition rate suitable for different modes of photoemission detection. Together with the planned for 2021 source LCLS II this will make the European XFEL unique FEL facility for photoemission studies worldwide.

In this presentation an overview of time-resolved photoemission experiments on solids that were done at XFELs so far will be given and perspectives related to high repetition rate XFEL facilities, particularly European XFEL, will be provided.
