Metalitalia.com, in collaboration with MC² Live and Live Club, is pleased to announce five newly confirmed acts for 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 very important special guests such as AMENRA, NOVEMBRE and 1914, we are pleased to confirm the addition of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY and NERO DI MARTE!
HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY have become one of the most acclaimed acts in the European post-black metal scene, thanks to a melancholy and intense sound capable of uniting extreme outbursts with deeply emotional melodies.
NERO DI MARTE represent one of the most original and visionary projects in contemporary Italian metal. Over the years, the quartet has stood out for a formula that weaves together extreme metal, progressive, and experimental sounds, giving life to unpredictable and tension-filled compositions.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27
Moving on to Sunday, which will see CORONER as headliners, followed by major performances from FEAR FACTORY, DEMOLITION HAMMER and SADIST — who will deliver a special set dedicated to “Tribe” — we are pleased to welcome three powerhouses of technical death metal: ALLEGAEON, GOROD and ABYSMAL DAWN.
ALLEGAEON are one of the leading names in modern American technical death metal, thanks to a sound that combines superb musicianship, aggressiveness, and remarkably atmospheric melodies.
France’s GOROD will bring their unmistakable blend of tech-death, groove, and progressive elements to the stage, a formula that has established them over time as a true institution for fans of the genre. Rounding out this new wave of announcements are ABYSMAL DAWN, a Los Angeles-based outfit known for their sharp, dynamic death metal, seamlessly blending speed and technical prowess.
Many more bands, exclusive shows and full details about all the additional festival features will be announced in the coming weeks!
