Metal Festivals 2026-2027
292 upcoming festivals feature Metal, 165 where it dominates; 100 with tickets on sale.
Metal at festivals
A metal festival is usually a three- or four-day summer open air built around camping. Bills run from heavy, thrash, death and black to doom and metalcore, often with hard rock and hardcore punk alongside. The big events cluster in Germany, France, the Benelux and the Czech Republic between June and August, and winter moves indoors, with events like Metal Hammer Paradise in Germany in November.
Two reference points. Wacken Open Air has run since 1990 in the village of Wacken, Schleswig-Holstein, on the first weekend of August; it sells only three-day tickets, so most of the crowd camps on site. In France, Hellfest started in 2006 in Clisson, growing out of Furyfest, and takes place in June. It sorts styles by stage: The Altar for thrash and death, The Temple for black metal, The Valley for doom and stoner, The Warzone for hardcore punk.
