Ten years of METAL ON THE HILL, a breathtaking location, and a headliner who takes no prisoners: August 29, 2026, already promises to be an event that does full justice to the festival and its unique spirit. Stay tuned for further acts to be announced soon!
Ten years ago, METAL ON THE HILL was born on Graz’s Schlossberg, one of Austria’s most beautiful venues, by Napalm Records and the Grazer Spielstätten. Since then, the festival has stood for heavy sounds, intense emotions, and an unmistakable atmosphere in a truly special location—the historic Kasematten. Back in the first third of the 20th century, a stage was built within the old walls of the former fortifications, complete with a spacious auditorium that is particularly characteristic of Graz.
