📋About
Zilonis Fest 2026: the metal and hardcore punk festival in Lielrenda, Latvia
Zilonis Fest takes place at Lielrendas muiža, a historic Latvian manor located in the countryside. This 2026 edition, scheduled for July 24 and 25, brings together 3 artists for two days of atmospheric black metal, hardcore punk and alternative rock. The rural setting and historic architecture create a striking contrast with the radical nature of the programmed music.
The lineup favors Baltic and Slavic artists, with Батюшка (Batushka) headlining, alongside As Always and Inokentijs Marpls. The festival explores the boundaries between extreme metal and experimental rock.
Zilonis Fest cultivates an underground and intimate atmosphere, characteristic of small Baltic festivals. The reduced capacity and rural setting encourage encounters between artists and festival-goers, transforming the manor into an ephemeral community for two days of radical music far from commercial circuits.
On July 24 and 25, 2026, Lielrenda hosts lovers of extreme music. Check the lineup and book your tickets.
