Metalitalia.com, in collaboration with MC² Live and Live Club, is proud to announce exciting new additions to the line-up of the twelfth edition of the Metalitalia Festival, which will take place on Saturday, September 27 and Sunday, September 28, 2025, at the Live Club in Trezzo sull’Adda (Milan).
The event further enriches its line-up with two new acts for each day!
Day 1 – Saturday, September 27, 2025
In addition to the already announced headliners DARK TRANQUILLITY and other major international metal acts such as SOEN, EQUILIBRIUM, and IOTUNN, we are proud to confirm the participation of KANONENFIEBER. The German band, known for their melodic black-death metal inspired by World War I events, is clearly on the rise thanks to growing acclaim from both fans and critics. Led by mastermind Noise, the band will deliver an intense and evocative performance, enriched by deep lyrical themes and a strong focus on stage aesthetics.
Joining them to open the day will be BEDSORE. With their sound blending death metal with psychedelic and progressive elements, these young musicians from Rome have won over audiences with their latest album, “Dreaming the Strife for Love”, establishing themselves as one of the most distinctive acts in the current extreme metal scene.
Day 2 – Sunday, September 28, 2025
The day headlined by STRATOVARIUS, joined by TWILIGHT FORCE, ELVENKING, and ANCIENT BARDS, is further enhanced with the addition of two new Italian bands ready to ignite the Metalitalia Festival stage.
VISION DIVINE, led by Olaf Thörsen, will bring their unmistakable power/progressive metal to the stage, with a major surprise on vocals: the band has reunited with the much-loved singer Michele Luppi, whose performances on albums like “Stream of Consciousness” and “The Perfect Machine” still resonate in the minds of fans. Their set will range from classic tracks to more recent ones, offering the audience a top-tier performance.
Rounding out this announcement are SKELETOON, long-time champions of fast and melodic power metal inspired by the most vibrant sounds of the genre. Known for their energetic shows and pop culture-themed concepts, the band is ready to deliver a thrilling and surprise-filled performance.
More bands, exclusive shows, free meet & greets, metal market, Metalitalia Ink tattoo convention details, and many surprises will be announced in the coming weeks!
