Nordic Noise Festival 2026: the metal festival in Copenhagen
Dedicated to extreme music and Scandinavian sounds, Nordic Noise Festival returns every spring for three days of concerts at the Rust club, in the heart of Copenhagen. The 2026 edition, scheduled from May 14th to 16th, brings together 14 metal, heavy metal, and thrash bands in an intimate club atmosphere.
The lineup showcases genre legends like Artillery, pioneers of Danish technical thrash metal, alongside Chris Holmes (ex-W.A.S.P.) and Japanese band Osukaru. The Danish local scene is well represented, with Steel Inferno, Impalers, and Captain Black Beard.
The programming also explores the fringes of thrash metal and traditional heavy, with touches of blues and punk rock. The club format guarantees rare proximity with the artists, far from large arenas, for an authentic metal experience.
From May 14th to 16th, 2026, Copenhagen's Rust vibrates to the rhythm of Nordic metal. Check out the full lineup and book your tickets.
