Aching Metal Fest 2026: extreme metal and thrash in Colmar

Aching Metal Fest is an extreme metal festival held in Colmar, in the Haut-Rhin department of Alsace, France. Over two days, 12 artists form a radical programme centred on heavy metal, thrash and death metal, in the tradition of Alsatian metal festivals.

The programme covers heavy metal, speed metal, technical thrash metal, death metal, power metal and progressive metal. A selection that values the technicality and intensity characteristic of metal's most demanding sub-genres.
