Metalcamp

The heavy metal international music festival Metalcamp has been held annually since 2004 in July at Tolmin, in the beautiful surroundings of the Alps. Metalcamp is one of the central metal events in this part of Europe and certainly has the most international character among music festivals in Slovenia. Every year it attracts a massive international audience of thousands of fans from Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, the Mediterranean countries and Slovenia. Every genre and sub-genre of metal with the addition of hardcore influenced styles is well represented in the 5-day gathering of bands performing on a couple of stages.
