Death Metal Music Festivals

Death metal festivals are for the heaviest of the heavy, from Hellfest and Wacken to the UK's Bloodstock and Damnation. Expect punishing riffs and devoted crowds.

The genre shares stages with the wider extreme-metal world, with the biggest weekends in summer. Setline gathers death metal festivals in one place, so you can see who's playing, preview the bands, and plan the trip with friends.
