Black Waves Festival 2026: the extreme metal festival in Poland
Black Waves Festival takes place in Poland to celebrate the most extreme currents of metal. This 2026 edition, scheduled for October 10, brings together 4 artists for a day of death metal and black metal. The festival cultivates an underground identity and uncompromising programming, favoring obscure formations and cult bands from the European extreme scene.
The lineup explores the territories of blackened death metal and death-doom, with Wode, Abduction, Dormant Ordeal and Morast. The festival favors atmospheric and oppressive sounds, far from traditional heavy metal.
Black Waves stands out for its radical approach and cutting-edge programming, attracting extreme metal purists. The one-day concentrated format and reduced capacity create a rare intensity, transforming the festival into an underground ritual for initiates, in the tradition of Polish death and black metal scenes.
On October 10, 2026, Poland hosts explorers of extreme metal. Check the lineup and book your tickets.
