Dear metalheads, we have some bad news for you this morning. Today at one o'clock in the morning we received sad news from the band HEAVEN SHALL BURN that they cannot participate in our METALFEST OPEN AIR festival today! The reason is yesterday's sudden loss of voice of the band's singer Marcus Bischoff at the Rock Am Ring festival, where HEAVEN SHALL BURN had to end their production right after the first song and went to the hospital with Markus. 


At the moment we are no longer able to fill this spot in the program, so we have adjusted today's program, as follows:


11:45 – 12:30 W.E.B.

12:50 – 13:40 Human ZOO

14:00 – 14:50 Ad Infinitum

15:10 – 16:00 Municipal Waste

16:25 – 17:25 Dalriada

17:55 – 19:05 Death Angel

19:35 – 20:50 Stratovarius

21:30 – 23:00 King Diamond


At the same time, the signing sessions program will also be adjusted, which, after agreement with the bands, will be posted on the signing sessions tent, on Facebook and Instagram. The festival area will be open today a bit later. Thank you for your understanding.


We wish Markus a speedy recovery and you, dear fans, a nice last day of the festival despite all these complications.
