Metalitalia.com, in collaboration with MC² Live and Live Club, is pleased to announce a couple of exciting additions to the line-up of the thirteenth edition of the Metalitalia Festival, set to take place on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September 2026 at the Live Club in Trezzo sull’Adda (Milan). As always, the event will be preceded by an exclusive Warm Up Party on Friday 25 September at the legendary Bloom in Mezzago, with full details to be revealed in the coming months. True to tradition, the festival will once again offer a full-scale experience, featuring a rich musical programme packed with international acts and exclusive performances. Fans can also look forward to the ever-popular free meet & greets with all artists, a wide metal market, and the return of Metalitalia Ink, the area entirely dedicated to tattoo and body-art culture. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 In addition to the already announced PARADISE LOST and outstanding special guests AMENRA and 1914, we are pleased to confirm the participation of NOVEMBRE! The Italian band has always cited the day’s headliners among their main sources of inspiration, so it is more than ever a pleasure for us to welcome Carmelo Orlando and his bandmates to the line-up. Expect a performance filled with refined atmospheres, featuring songs from their new album “Words of Indigo” as well as from their acclaimed earlier releases. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 For Sunday’s bill, which will feature CORONER as headliners, we are sorry to report that, due to scheduling conflicts, CYNIC have cancelled their performance. We hope to welcome Paul Masvidal’s band at a future edition of the festival. In light of this line-up change, we believe it is fair to offer anyone who wishes the option to request a refund for either a day ticket or a full festival pass by no later than March 31: Online purchases – instructions will be provided by the ticketing agency through which the purchase was made. Purchases made at a Ticketone point of sale – refunds may be requested via this link: www.rimborsi-ticketone.it As for the new additions, on a day that already includes not only the headliners but also SADIST – who will perform a special set focused on “Tribe” – we are pleased to welcome another legendary name: FEAR FACTORY. Led by guitarist Dino Cazares and recently reinvigorated by the arrival of Italian vocalist Milo Silvestro, the band will revisit its career through a set built on a powerful blend of thrash-death metal and industrial influences. To round off this announcement in the best possible way, we are also thrilled to welcome back DEMOLITION HAMMER. Their performance at Metalitalia Festival 2016 remains etched in the hearts of Italian thrash fans and stands as one of the festival’s most memorable moments. Ten years after that show, we are proud to have the New York band back in the line-up for the next edition. The veteran American thrash metal act is currently working on a new album, which is expected to be released toward the end of 2026. Many more bands, exclusive shows and full details about all the additional festival features will be announced in the coming weeks! At a time when everything seems to be getting more expensive and the cost of living keeps rising, we are proud to highlight that – despite the current situation – ticket prices for the festival have remained unchanged from last year. It’s a concrete commitment to keeping the Metalitalia Festival accessible to all fans, without compromising on the quality and ambition that have always defined the event.
